Fox Squeezes O.J. Simpson, Hypothetical Confession Gushes Out
Wednesday November 15, 2006
 Ramey Photo Agnency Proving that it is possible to sell a soul twice (if not be tried for the same crime twice), O.J. Simpson is doing a television special on Fox with the clunky lawyer-approved title O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened. In the two-part series, which will promote his new book If I Did It, Simpson discusses how, hypothetically, he could have killed his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, who were murdered in 1994. The former Heisman trophy winner was tried for the murders and acquitted in 1994, but later found liable for the deaths by in a wrongful-death suit filed by the Goldman family. "This is an historic case, and I consider this his confession," Judith Regan, whose imprint ReganBooks is publishing the book, told the Associated Press. The Fox Web site has a preview of the show which is not a real premium confession, but more of a hypothetical “from concentrate” sort of affair in which OJ waters down his sentences with phrases like “might have” and “could have.” In the trailer, the former Heisman trophy winner says, “I don’t think any two people could be murdered without everybody being covered in blood,” before breaking down in tears. The clip shows him later declaring in a choked voice, “I can’t do no more of this!” as he gathers his things. But the clip stops just short of what O.J. actually said which was, “I can’t do no more of this…because I tee-off in a half hour and I’ll be damned if the memory of my hypothetical murder victims is gonna keep me from swinging the links.” Talk to Us: Do you think Fox should have agreed to broadcast the interview?

it's not about black or white we are all humans some or good and some or bad people die every day black and white,people need to put that racial stuff away it was terrible for nichole and her friend to die the way they did yes but life goes on we all will not be on planet earth forever. white people also need to stop looking down on black people we are all created equal money is the only thing that seprate people the rich stick together and the poor stay together it's just that simple. stop putting down black people i am sure a lot of white people could not walk in our shoes i am not racis the truth just should be told.

Black people think that they are always wrongly accused. I hope this OJ thing hits them hard in the face to prove that they were cheering for the wrong person. They cheered for a man that was aquitted of killing two people (two white people). He (OJ), like all the other little bad ass black kids should be dealt with in society. I wonder why we have all these gang crimes and kids doing what they want. Sure us white people have school shootings and serial killers but I would take that every once in a while over everyday gang killings and other crimes. Quit being such crying little liberals and stop to think about it is not always about color. I have black in my family so I am not being bias. But I am saying that black people cry too much and think everything is about color. I wish BET would show this on their station so it could prove that the OJ did it and they can feel stupid for cheering for a guilty man.

First off, a little Filipino boy was running from Jeffrey Dahmer when a police car stopped and asked him what was going on. In spite of what was said the police, White police, returned the child to psycho. Who was later murdered. Secondly, how many of OJ's lawyers were White? Third, how many White men get away with crimes and how many poor Black men are told to just take the deal whether they actually committed the crime or not? Who owns Fox, the same media outlet that is giving this crazy killer an opportunity to spread this garbage? BET may be owned by Viacom but you can bet for damn sure they wouldn't air this garbage. Who published his book, enabling him to potentially make millions off of this nonsense? And the jury didn't let him off because he was Black, they could not prove beyond reasonable doubt that he did it. If you know anything about the law you would know that. And since this is bash Black people day because some of you think we can't sing or dance (or at least don't deserve to win at those type of competions), when was the last time you saw OJ with a Black woman? Why don't you holla at your girls. I guess we got something right because none of us are stupid enough to get near that clown. OJ may have gotten away with it but the Kennedys originated getting away with murder.

OJ loves being in the limelight. It doesn't matter what for. He loves that everyone is talking about him once again. OJ is not confessing out of guilt, he is manipulating the public to get caught up in him again. Do not give him the satisfaction. Switch the station, do not read his book. Ignoring him is the way to hurt him the most, since our justice system was not able to do anything with him. Honor the victims. They say that the 3.5 million dollars will go towards his children (who are adults now). Who knows if he doesn't have a plan to get it/some of it back from them. Can you imagine what it would be like to receive a million plus payoff from a book that your father is talking about how he would have murdered your mother? If his kids were loyal to their mother, they would refuse this money. They could get real jobs. Money doesn't buy happiness, but it does steal souls.

Unfriggin'believable. I can guarantee if the shoe was on the other foot and Nicole Simpson did the killing, she would not have gotten away with it... I'm not biased, but jeez, this guy got away with murder once, what does he want to prove now?? I've never been so disgusted by one person... He should burn in hell for all he's done and now this? There's just no excuse...

I'm looking forward to a time when O.J. Simpson doesn't shamelessly manipulate the media to proclaim his 'innocence'(sic).
Been there, done that too much, OJ Simpson!

I FIND IT ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING THAT ANYONE WOULD GIVE OJ SIMPSON THE TIME OF DAY. HOW CAN FOX EXPLOIT SUCH A TRAGEDY.. THERE IS NO IF HE DID IT. WE ALL KNOW THAT HE DID AND DREDGING UP SUCH HORRIBLE MEMORIES FOR THE BROWN AND GOLDMAN FAMILIES IS REPREHENSIBLE. I THINK AS AMERICANS WHAT WE SHOULD DO IS BOYCOTT THIS BY NOT PURCHASING HIS BOOK OR WATCHING THE SPECIAL ON FOX. THAT IS THE WAY THAT WE AS EVERYDAY PEOPLE CAN HELP NOT TO PROMOTE SUCH A POOR EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING.

THIS IS A DISGUSTING TRUBUTE TO POST MODERN EXPLOITATION AT ITS MOST SHAMELESS. EXPLOITING THE DEATH OF TWO PEOPLE HE MURDERED IS TERRIFYING ENOUGH, BUT EXPECTED FROM A RAGING SOCIOPATH.
HOWEVER, THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AT FOX SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED FOR AMASSING PROFIT FROM THE MURDER OF TWO INNOCENT PEOPLE. HOW MUCH LOWER CAN FOX GO?!

I just read through all these posts....I can't understand why race is such a big issue in this country. If everyone would just work as hard as they can and quit blaming everyone else for their shortcomings, America would be a better, more productive place! GET OVER WHATEVER YOUR ISSUES ARE, QUIT THE BLAME GAME, AND LIVE YOUR LIFE...
P.S. This is supposed to be a OJ Simpson thread, not a race thread....

This is disgusting! Nothing like getting away with murder and rubbing everybody's faces in it!!! He should have been laid out on the execution table a long time ago. I hope America doesn't help put dollars in the pocket of a murderer by buying his book or watching this FOX special. YUK!

Uh doesn't OJ Simpson still owe money in the civil lawsuit the Goldman family won against him? So whatever money he does make off of this "IF" he did do it (and yeah he did it) goes to the Goldman family.

To Minnie...he's doing this for the same reason Fox is letting him: money. I think that whatever money Fox is paying him for this farce of an interview should be given to to a battered women's shelter or even to the Brown/Goldman family, assuming they even accept it. As for the "civil rights big wigs" as you call them, I am so sick of people like yourself turning this into a race issue. It doesn't matter what color the victims were, they didn't deserve to die the way they did and their families don't deserve Fox or OJ rehashing the gory details of how they died or would have died. If it makes you feel better, Fred Goldmen has already threatened legal action if FOX shows this.

This is beyond SICK. Why would he do this and put the Browns, Goldmans, and especially his kids through this???? It sucks he can't be tried twice and will probably never have to pay one thin dime to the victims. And where are the civil rights big wigs (i.e. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, NAACP)? If this situation had been reversed and some white guy was boasting how he "hypothetically" killed his ex-wife and her friend who just happened to be black, they would have been screaming "Racism" and boycotting so fast your head would spin.

You know what I am sick of---playing by the rules. I am sick of always having two jobs, paying my bills, and gong to school. When do I get a break? What can I do? Does anyone know the history of when the Irish first came to America? I don't htink so. They were indentured servants. There were signs-I have one-that says "No Irish Need Apply". but you knwo what, that doesn't count! They actually went out, got jobs, and went on with their lives.
