OT: O.J. Simpson dead at age 76, per Reuters & family

My favorite part is the dubious look on Charles's face the moment Norm mentions his name, like he knows something brutal is coming.

Wonder if Reggie Bush's picture is still up?

Nah that'd be Adam Silver.

Same--I was in a bar in NYC, shooting pool and trying to watch the Knicks. Man, was I pissed when they focused on the Bronco chase instead on the game.

He converted!

Oh yes, if you are old enough,  'pulling an OJ' was the term for making a mad dash through the airport to catch a plane.

Had an experience like that back in 2016. Was catching the last flight out of BWI to Detroit the Friday night before a September game, taking the MARC from DC to BWI. The stop before the BWI transfer (Odenton I think), the train stops as normal, but doesn't leave. We sit, and sit, and sit. watching the clock, wondering what's going on (found out later someone committed suicide on the tracks). Eventually four of us complete strangers went together on an Uber to take us to the airport. I got there 35 minutes before takeoff, thankfully there was literally no one waiting at security, and I sprinted through the airport to the gate to make my flight...

Some of my favorite airport memories are doing an OJ through O'Hare only to discover that they'd just closed the gate our connection was supposed to be at. 

Like many others here, I've been a daily user of the internet since its early days, and the amount of time I've spent on stock photo & illustration websites, news & political websites, commercial sales sites, blogs, and social media platforms for both business and pleasure would probably horrify me if I were able to total it all up.

In all that time, I've never encountered a website with as many weird basic functionality problems as MGoBlog. I'm not a tech guy, but having had some experience in working on the design of a website programmed in Drupal—which was a clunky, clumsy platform to design for—I wonder if that's part of the problem.

Not trying to make excuses for it, or suggest that it contributed (in OJ's case, or otherwise), but at least a few murder-suicides come to mind where CTE was present and has been speculated to have played a role. E.g.:

Agreed. And he should have been locked up for the rest of his life. 

Also back then nobody talked about CTE, seemed pretty obvious at the time he was the murderer, I wonder how confident his lawyers were going into the trial. If this had occurred in 2019 instead of 1995 would the lawyer's have tried to shift blame to CTE and gone for a lighter sentence... Although perhaps there's no avenue to make that work in the defense's favor, there's no way the CTE is going away. 

Regardless I'm curious to know much indication of brain damage he has. 

Beheader her and another person in an ultra-violent struggle, and then came home with the amount of blood on him and his vehicle that you would get from ripping off a hang nail.

Clearly Casey Anthony was the person responsible for her daughters death, and the attempts to cover it up.  There is zero part of me that believes it was intentional, though.  An intentional killing in the Anthony case does not at up at all.

There is literally nothing publicly available that I don't know about the case against OJ  Simpson.

Come on now, that's just hyperbole. If there was zero doubt, how the hell was he acquitted? I'm not even sure you can bungle a case that badly (unless you're trying to, and even then...), at least when there's evidence to present (as opposed to where all the evidence has been excluded). It's highly likely (almost certain?) OJ was the killer, but like pretty much every other case out there, there was at least some semblance of doubt or things that didn't quite add up...

There is absolutely zero doubt unless you're just unaware of the evidence against him.
