Out of the blue, O.J. shows up with his daughter Sydney and the courtyard went silent. It was like the air was sucked out of the place. Just bizarre. Fortunately, a few minutes later, the focus was back on Star Wars. About 20 minutes later, Robert Shapiro appears in the courtyard and O.J. went over to greet him. They stood there chatting in the middle, while Darth Maul's were fighting each other. It was nothing short of surreal. A few minutes later, our line began moving and out of nowhere, O.J. comes up and asks if we wouldn't mind allowing him to "cut" in line. I was speechless. I don't even think I said anything other than to nod my head. My wife and I just kind of looked at each other with our jaws on the ground. All I can say is that it was 5 years after the murders and the dude was still huge and ripped. Any of this stuff about him being frail or weak or bad knees and whatever is complete and utter nonsense. |

I grew up watching O.J. and LOVED him. Loved him with the Bills, loved him in the Hertz commercials, in Capricorn One, in those silly Police Squad movies and on NBC as an analyst. I was in absolute denial when he was arrested for murder. I'll admit it, for the first time on Chiefsplanet: When the Knicks game was interrupted in 1994 because of the White Ford Bronco Chase, I was half-tempted to jump in my car in Hollywood and head down to the 405 to watch would happen and cheer him on. I mean seriously, at that point, NO ONE thought he was guilty. It was impossible. O.J. Simpson a murderer? No way. It's just not possible. Seriously, I listened to the trial every single day on my radio at work. I was WAY into it. I'd watch the legal experts in the lunch room on TV, and watch everything associated with it at night. When the verdict was read, there was silence in the conference room at Universal. I don't think any of us thought he'd be found not guilty. So seeing him in person and talking to him was just, bizarre. |

He always struck me as a "big teddy bear" kind of guy and couldn't believe that he could kill anyone. Of course, look at the many murderers out there. Family, friends, neighbors... they all say the same thing, "he was always a kind person, very down-to-earth, etc.". |

I thought they always said, "he kept to himself and was kind of weird".
