OH NO THEY GOT O.J.!!

when will they leave that poor man alone? hasn't he suffered enough?

Oops...If I Did It Again

O. J. Simpson, sports memorabilia collectors, two examples of the multitude of shit stains in modern America. In a move that showed unusual and a slightly uncharacteristic concern for its reader's mental health, the LA Times stuffed him way down inside the A section today.

One can imagine the charge and pity anyone selected for potential jury service: Conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary from burglars and robbers.

John Ziegler is fucking stoked.

RIP

i used to go to this sports bar in high school to watch sports (esp ncaa tourney games) and OJ was often there *makes drinky drink motion with hand*

pwnage

lmaoj

he's guilty btw

it seems a little crazy that he will possibly spend the rest of his life in prison for basically going into a hotel room and saying "hey give me back my stuff", albeit with a couple of armed buddies. probably some kind of karmic payback, i s'pose.

7 1/2 years?

15

!

he looks sad

maybe a little stabbing will cheer him up

i'd feel pretty stupid too if i got away w/double murder and then got sonned on a memorabilia beef

yeah true -- i wonder if there's a little part of him that wishes he went down for the murder instead of something so inane like this

to be fair, this isn't exactly inane (altho yeah obviously it pales next to vicious double homicide)

This all just seemed so inevitable -- pretty much as soon as the murder verdict came in, I couldn't imagine any kind of life for the guy that wasn't some form of downward spiral into shady business.

dude had a really shitty life anyway if hanging out with low-life memorabilia hounds is any indication. idk if i've ever said this on ilx (not much of a story) but OJ's house was across the street from a high school that i went to as a freshman and oftentimes my friends and i would go to this sports bar to watch games that weren't on local tv (nfl or whatever). we went in there when i was a freshman in the afternoon to watch the first day of the ncaa tournament and oj was in there at like 2 or 3, by himself, drunk and sloppily rooting for cal to beat some team (pac-10 pride i suppose). it was really odd and looking back kind of sad

you mean usc.

Yeah, Jordan, that's exactly what I mean -- just hearing about this one, the first thought was of course, that's what you do if you're OJ, you're forced to scrounge around in the sports memorabilia market; it's not like you can get involved in much up-and-up business, or endorse fitted gloves, or anything. It seems so last-resort to begin with.

they let high school freshmen into sports bars?

nah that's what im saying - he was rooting for cal cuz i think he just wanted the pac-10 team to win

all those fallen athletes seem to end up in the memorabilia racket, which is a pretty foul enterprise overall yeah. pete rose, canseco, etc

in the afternoon yeah

this is the place http://www.millersalehouse.com/

btw their famous dish is called The Zinger

IT'S... ZINGER TIME!!!

served up cold to oj this morn, apparently ;_;

I like the illustration of Harry Knowles riding a marlin.

Haha, he's going to die in jail.

He can get out in 6 for good behavior.

All the thugs in max-security will be lining up, drooling at the opportunity to shiv OJ. I suspect he will be a prime canditate on next years death-watch threads for this reason. Oh well. If the glove fits..

^they said the same thing about Iron Martha Stewart but she walks among us alive and well.

umm

OJ getting shived pretty unlikely, I would think.

noted prison expert ilx poster "Pillbox"

u can tell he knows what hes talking about by his use of prison slang like "shiv" and "thugs" and "max-security"

I wouldn't put it past a screw to punk OJ into a dirt nap

Also the "yard"

xposts: zing! u don't know what its really like on the inside until u been there, homie. All your rap albums and Wire-watching will never prepare you for the ruthless social Darwinism of real time. Keep living with the comfortable buffer of ironic distance and don't bother yrself with the real realness of reality.

Sitting shiv
