OJ Simpson - The most famous Hero-Gone-Wrong to ever hit American tabloids! Part 1   Orenthal James Simpson (July 9, 1947 – April 10, 2024) was an American football player, actor, and media personality who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 11 seasons, primarily with the Buffalo Bills. Regarded as one of the greatest running backs of all time, his professional success was overshadowed by his trial and controversial acquittal for the murders of his former wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994. Simpson played college football for the USC Trojans, where he won the Heisman Trophy as a senior, and was selected first overall by the Bills in the 1969 NFL/AFL draft. During his nine seasons with the Bills, he received five consecutive Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro selections from 1972 to 1976. He also led the league in rushing yards four times, in rushing touchdowns twice, and in points scored in 1975. He became the first NFL player to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season, earning him NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP), and is the only NFL player to do so in a 14-game regular season. He holds the record for the single-season yards-per-game average at 143.1. After retiring with the San Francisco 49ers in 1979, he acted in film and television, became a sportscaster, and was a spokesman for a wide variety of products and companies, notably Hertz. He was later inducted into multiple football halls of fame. Brown and Goldman were murdered in Los Angeles on the night of June 12, 1994.   ⏳𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 ⏳ 00:00 – Intro 11:56 – Why OJ? 18:53 – Orenthal James Simpson, The Beginning 28:51 – College football 30:54 – Signing bonus going into the NFL 33:10 – OJ’s journey into acting 38:39 – OJ’s family life 40:21 – OJ meets Nicole Brown 50:54 – Nicole files for divorce 55:51 – The crime   🍁 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 🍁 🔔 For collaboration or promotion opportunities, email: danatruppianamobtimes@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/danatruppiana   Your source for the life and history of infamous gangsters ... and some other stuff, too.
