OJ Simpson

Here’s a throwback for the older folks in the room. Even if you’re younger than about 25, there’s a good chance that the name OJ Simpson rings a bell to you.

People older than me, however, may remember the time when OJ Simpson was a household name and was generally pretty well-liked as an athlete and actor. That made it even more shocking when we learned that he was wanted for murder and involved in one of the most publicized trials in the history of the U.S.
