O.J. Simpson, the polarizing former football star, seemed to suggest he was ready to recede from the spotlight after succeeding in his quest for freedom after being incarcerated for nine years at a desert prison in northern Nevada.

….and flashback to what I show…this Bronco ‘chase’ as aired on LIVE TV in 1994. And with that, an odyssey began. An entire nation watching each day as the trial developments took .. it was an epic time and culminated with a verdict that divided the nation…
For me? I recall eating Devito’s Pizza from Ashland PA (a sweet thick crust if I recall correctly. Back then I could eat the entire thing myself as a teenager, I was only 14!) … I remember visiting my aunt in Philadelphia a day later.
