The People vs OJ Simpson

[Singleshot]

This new tv show is playing on FX right now and will restart again at 11:30. Not really a big deal as far as FSU goes, but some may find it interesting his son attended FSU and he interviewed Bobby Bowden at halftime and after the game at the Orange Bowl for our first National Championship.

I thought this was the TC, not pintrest. IMO

I remember the juice walking the sidelines in Doak, a childhood friend of mine used to date him. We went trout fishing one time

You two are lucky to be alive.

Seems like I remember him having a girlfriend from Panama City. Was your friend Paula Barbieri, who later married a judge?

Only vaguely related to the topic, but...

Do you know why The Broncos are wearing white for The Super Bowl?

Answer: I hear it's hard to stop a white bronco in California.

Maybe you've got some pics of the Bruno Magli shoes?

 

[jimbojangles]

Yep fun fact was that orange bowl being his last college game on the sidelines. A few months later he and AC are speeding down the freeway in the white bronco.

 

[ClayCountyNole]

When we played ND in 93 I had student tickets on the field... Yes on the field... He stood next to us all game...

Rumor has it he ran in the airport in Tally....

Nordberg!

He's were he belongs. Hopefully he dies there.

I had never heard of the Kardashian name before the trial, and I did not realize that Kardashian was literally such a cry baby. What an embarrassment the way he was portrayed, if was in fact, the way he was in real life. No wonder the kids are spoiled, whiny brats.

 

[seminoleed]

LOL. I looked at the picture at the top and realize that same cop behind bobby is STILL escorting our coaches on and off the field.

Little known fact, he's a Highlander.

 

[Nole Lou]

My wife (girlfriend at the time) saw him at the McKinley mall in Orchard Park NY a few months before the murder, he must have been in for a Bills game or event. She said he gave her the most chilling, awful look, said he scared her. I was like, come on, it's OJ for gods sake, the most beloved guy in the country.

A couple months later, she had the last word (as usual). She says she "knew" he was capable of this from the way he looked at her. LOL. I think she now swears he was buying gloves when she saw him.

That might be hard to do considering he died. I had season tickets next to one of his relatives.

Props.

Of all the funny comments in this thread, this one made me LOL. Its better to burn out than to fade away.

 

[F4Gary]

So is it worth watching? I have it on dvr.

Billy lived near Lake Jackson by me. Heck of a nice guy, he is missed by all that knew him.

I watched it on DVR last night and thought it was pretty good. I'd say it's worth the watch.

RIP, Billie Smith. Out of curiosity, where was O.J.?

Pic of scared wife?

O.J. is a straight up sociopath AKA has Anti-Social Personality disorder. These people are charming and glib and often people can't believe they are what they are.

 

[HulaNole]

1st episode was very good. Hopefully the next 9 episodes are too.

 

[daveynole]

I really enjoyed the first episode; like traveling back in time. Maybe it's just because O.J. was so prominent in several contexts before the murders, but I'm having trouble buying Cuba Gooding, Jr. playing that character. Not so much the other actors, who have at least started off very believably in their roles.

 

[HulaNole]

but I'm having trouble buying Cuba Gooding, Jr. playing that character

Agreed. The other lead actors have been great so far.

 

[alaskanseminole]

I agree. I wish they'd cast an unknown...I can't stop seeing Radio.

 

[Bobcat07]

The next episode will give me major flashbacks, I remember getting so mad when NBC split-screened the Rockets-Knicks NBA Finals game for that chase!

Not as pissed as the Hoff was!

As if that wasn’t enough, David Hasselhoff had a pay-per-view concert in Atlantic City that was supposed to show America he was more than just a pretty lifeguard.

“This isn’t about making money,” he said. “I just want people to know I can sing.” Elvis could have returned and done a duet with Mr. Baywatch, and it wouldn’t have mattered.

The story goes, The Hoff came off stage after giving it his all to see everyone back stage gathered around a small TV. He ask, "What's going on? Please tell me that hasn't been on the whole time." ...the rest is history.

 

[Fijimn]

You know why the Denver Broncos are wearing white uniforms for the Super Bowl?

Because no one in California can stop a White Bronco.

badabump....remember to tip your waitress.

 

[NolaNole9]

+1. Completely agree.

 

[dmm5157]

I agree with not feeling CGJ as OJ. He is 5'10" (maybe) and OJ was 6'1". I thought Idris Elba would have been a better pick. Much better actor, taller, more similar build to OJ at that age. More age accurate than CGJ is, too.

Every time Schwimmer says "Juice" I lose my concentration on the show. Takes me out of believing the story, he seems so corny. I am not familiar with Kardashian, so I don't know if his portrayal is accurate or not.

The rest of the casting has been excellent.
