I don't think he cares so much about getting the cash as he does in OJ not profiting from the murders at this point.
Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy I agree with 2oony, it's the only legal thing he can do to "get back" at him, by taking his money---if only the system would let him get it, grrrrr. And unfortunately I agree with debtee too. *sigh*...some rabid people out there will tune in and rush out to buy the book and leaf through all the "juice". Ugh.

The two-part special is scheduled to coincide with the publication of Mr Simpson's book, OJ Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened, by News Corp's HarperCollins division. Mr Rivera, who has been criticised for his own journalism in the past, called the programme "the most appalling thing I've ever seen". Mr O'Reilly, anchor of The O'Reilly Factor, was similarly outraged: "Shamefully, the Fox Broadcasting unit is set to carry the programme, which is simply indefensible, and a low point in American culture. For the record, Fox Broadcasting has nothing to do with the Fox News Channel," he said.<< When Geraldo says it's the most appaling thing he's ever seen, it's time for Fox to take a good look in the mirror. I'm very glad Bill O'Reilly is outraged and is speaking out about it, but his bizarre theory that 'Fox Broadcasting has nothing to do with Fox News Channel' is wishful thinking. Not to mention that the OJ of the same name as this special is book is being published by a division of News Corp. (the parent company of Fox). So much for the 'No Spin Zone', huh?

Originally Posted By wahooskipper I completely agree. Murdoch owns everything. They are all related and, as such, I believe they are all stained by this filth. I sent an email to Newscorp and stated as much. Everyone at Fox Sports, Fox News, the newspapers that he owns, etc is uglied by this complete farce.
Originally Posted By TomSawyer >>I'm very glad Bill O'Reilly is outraged and is speaking out about it, but his bizarre theory that 'Fox Broadcasting has nothing to do with Fox News Channel' is wishful thinking. << I'm sure someone will be along shortly to explain that O'Reilly never said that.
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan >>They are all related and, as such, I believe they are all stained by this filth. << True. My hope is that since O'Reilly is the ratings leader on Fox, he 'might' be able to have enough clout to make them rethink this. But I doubt it... all the controversy, sadly, will only help draw attention and viewers to this crapfest.

And I have a very dark sense of humour.

How can we as Americans possibly watch this and not say, "OK, we need some sort of common sense ruling on jail time for O.J." For being such an idiot and basically admitting guilt, you have to serve time. If I were a member of the Goldman family, I would go insane. I am in shock. -- Matt S, Philadelphia SG: I think O.J. was jealous of all my jokes about the Tyson Zone. Fine, O.J. You win. We'll call it the O.J. Zone from now on. By the way, let's pray that this doesn't lead a series of "If I Did It, Here's How It Happened" sports specials with Tonya Harding, Pete Rose, Kobe, Tyson and others, although it WOULD be fun to hear David Stern explain how he suspended MJ for 18 months and forced him to go play minor league baseball because of his gambling escapades under the "If I Did It, Here's How It Happened" umbrella. That would be riveting.
