O.J. Simpson, what do you mean, If?
O.J. Simpson has written a book called "If I did it" explaining that if he killed his wife Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, this is how he would do it.
Plus he's going on Fox TV Nov. 27 and 29 to tell all. My favorite reaction to this is from CW Nevius who wrote, "It could be said that the national reaction was split 50-50. Half the country thought it was the dumbest idea they'd ever heard, and the other half thought Simpson was out of his mind." "I consider this his confession," publisher Judith Regan said of the book which she said gives a "bone-chilling account" of the night of the June 1994 murders. As condemnation flowed from the victims' families, publishers, broadcasters and bloggers, Simpson's publisher, Judith Regan, defended the decision, The Los Angeles Times reported. "It's not fiction," said Ms Regan, who will conduct the televised interview. Asked if Simpson would agree with that, she replied: "I don't know." The former American football player and actor came to her with the idea, Ms Regan said. Posted by Steve E. Swenson

People just do not have respect for justice if it does not turn put in their favor. This whole outrage is not about right or wrong, that was settled in the courts, this outrage is about a bunch of vindictive greedy people who just need time on the TV talk shows.

Which vindictive greedy people? This book is pretty in your face. Remember, it was OJ Simpson's own children's mother who was murdered!

So what is the problem? does it bend your nose that a Black man was actually found not guilty? I yes, I guess OJ is no Robert Blake.
All the parties are greedy publicity chasing idiots who play the racial card at every opporunity. posted by

NBC did turn down the interview before Fox accepted it..just to be clear it has been shopped around.

Black or White, Blake or Simpson, his children should account for something. To write a book about "how he could have killed their mother" is more than a little insensitive. I'd hope anyone would have more compassion toward their children than that, regardless of their age. posted by

They continue to make fools of themselves and make money because they know that thare always many fools who will be outraged and out rage pays at the book store and at the Televison circuit.
As for the children, they know more of the truth than you or i will ever know.....but the best way to provide for them and hide your earning from the other greedies...untouchable trust funds. These kids will cry all the way to the bank and leave the outrage to you. Everyone made money from Simpson, Heraldo, and half the people at Fox made their names as a result of the Simpsom TV melodrama. John Gibson at Fox was a nobody until he became Heraldo's ventriliquest dummy during Simpson.. Beside Simpson says, if he had, which regardless of the Simpson juries decision, some have never accepted. If Simpson was white and his alleged victims had been Black, this would be a non-issue. posted by

If allowed to keep proceeds from the book, Simpson will most likely spend it on his own comforts. If forced to pay the judgments, at least part of the money will go to the Nichole Simpson trust set up for the children. Looks to me as if that's the only way they'll make it to the bank, laughing or crying.

Your hate for Blacks is ingrained so deep that you can only evil deeds by them, Oh well, Simpson knows that too...so he will continue to be outrageious and let you sell his books for him.

Why is it that the black-man still feels picked on? This is not about race, it is about ill-served justice, you dolt!

O.J. is someone who loves to get people in an uproar. Every now and then he comes up with something to twist the knife, so to speak, in the Goldmans and Browns and of course the media. The thing is, it works everytime and that makes him a pretty sick person. posted by

We cannot blame the media for OJ and his stupid exposure, the public demands it and the media gives it to them.....unfortunate but this is America.
And as well all know, Fox is fair and balanced! posted by

Wouldn't it be nice if the media put their collective minds together to NOT cover this story. OJ doesn't deserve any more face time.

Dwatson, the problem is that about 75 percent of Bakersfield doesn't know what "faux" means. And we're tired of explaining the joke.

No, you are all waiting to hear how a Black man got away with killing a white woman and a white man.....If he did.
As I said if OJ had gang banged a black couple, this would not be an issue and OJ would be history and have zero publicity value. But sex, race, money is money in the bank when it comes to American entertainment. When a white celebrity like Robert Bake gets it is a good case, when OJ gets away it is LAPD incompetence, you are coming through loud and clear!!! The Simpsons and Goldmans are greedy gold diggers, but so is OJ...they still have something in common but this was known a lon time ago. posted by

He did it. We know it. But who cares?? I think if everyone did NOT tune in or pay any attention, that might get the point accross (maybe not). He's just another Madonna. They aren't in the lime light, so they have to think of something to get everyone to look at them. Well, WE AREN'T LOOKING!!!! How horrible for his kids! Just how mean spirited can he be?!! Obviously, A LOT!!! It would serve him right if his kids cut him off. We should all pitch in and buy him a shirt that reads, "ME, ME, ME! It's all about ME!" posted by

Get off the race thing already! This isn't about black or white. It's about a "football hero" getting away with murder because he was a football hero. There was enough evidence that the rest of us, black or white, would have wound up in prison for life for such a crime. There's also the fact that he had beaten her up a few times during their marriage; should he have been allowed that "privilege", just because he's black?

I know it pains you white knight, but the fact that a Blackman beat the system just gripes you no end. If Nicole had been Black still be laughing.
Whether he was a football hero or anything else does not matter, it is the race of the victims that matters, You sound like Bill O'rally. Everbody made money, Furman is on TV tonight touting his latest book and his talk show..he is happy as as a biug in a rug. Stop being so goody goody, the evidence did not prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt....what PART OF NOT GUILTY DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND, are alll Black men guilty? As for all the other parties. they lived off his fame for many years including his sister-in-laws, now they are whiining because he took them off the dole, as for Goldman he is just greedy. posted by

He may have been found Innocent in the criminal case, but remember he was found guilty in the civil trial. You are right it's not about race so quit making it so. He DID the homicide. If he was so overwhelmingly Innocent, why was he convicted in the civil matter?
If it was all about race you twit, then why is no one rallying around poor old Scott Peterson, the other wife killer? I don't know about you, but I'm glad he kept his promise to pursue his children's mothers killer like he promised............... posted by

Glocker, fellow twit, I know it hurts terribly to see this black man rub your nose in the race justice system, but lighten up, he was found not guilty in criminal court, the civil trial was just white vengeance at work.
Of course no one is rallying around Scott Peterson, he was not a Hall of Fame anything, besides his victims were not Brentwood trash, so where would the interest come from. Hey don't all killers innocent or guilty convicted in the world of public opinion look for the real killer on the gulf course? Geez, Jagels should have prosecuted this case, Blacks never get away from him in Kern. posted by

I guess OJ will be the subject for years to come as many and most in Kern believe that he should have received an Emmett Till trial, you know Black Guy who was hung by god fearing white people for "whistling" at a white woman in god's country.

Okay okay, OJ and Blacks are terrible people, the Greedy Goldman's are wonderful compassionate white people and the Simpson's are the white template for goodness.
And you eriik are as white as pure driven snow who does not have a racist bone in your body and are driven only by the you need to obtain the true facts that justify the whites and purest intentions, race is not a factor in the saga of OJ Simpson.....better? By the way Simpson owes you and your bro's a debt of garatitude for bring his what should be a nothing book to the top of the money list....he could not generate more interest on his own....devious those Black people. posted by

Posted by Drummel: I think OJ should have titled his book "If I did it, I wouldn't have left a trail of my blood"
or how about these...
"If I did it, I should have killed Ron's father too"
"If I did it, I should have worn K-mart tennies"
