If O.J. Simpson died tomorrow ...

    The difference between MJ and OJ is MJ's accomplishments in music were so great and so far-reaching that his turn to psycho ville is easier to ignore. Also, and I say this in all seriousness, it's easy for people like me to say "Well, Black Michael was awesome, White Michael touched the kids." In mourning MJ's death, I'm choosing to focus on Black Michael's accomplishments and the way he made me feel (pun intended) with his music.

    OJ is, by and large, the same guy we remember sitting in a court room that one summer. His death would be linked much, much closer to his 'bad' persona (pun intended again) than Jackson's.

    I'll say this - Nordberg in the "Naked Gun" movies was way funnier/more watchable than Nordberg on the "Police Squad" TV show.

    Granted, "Police Squad," because it lasted all of six episodes, didn't have much of an opportunity to give Nordberg any kind of substance. But I find it hard to imagine that the character could ever have been on the small screen what he became as portrayed by O.J.

    Who, nevertheless, is still a psychopathic, murderous bastard.

    You know, for years I was on the fence, but now I'm pretty much in the "troll" camp.

    Yes, he's harmless, tell that to Nicole and Ron Goldman.

    What about the armed robbery?

    I've got my doubts about Nicole and Ron as for the armed robbery, well it was a stupid thing but the punishment is a bit harsh. IMO

    I always wondered what kind of people were on that jury ... it all makes sense now.
