Hate to keep going back to OJ, but this is messing with me this morning. OJ was a early hero of mine and that trial was huge. Two things:
If he was in such a rage and went berserk, he did a pretty decent job of having an alibi ready. Not to mention the way she was stabbed hardly seemed to be done in a blind rage.
And if he confesses, it will be a reminder what a bunch of fuck-ups the LAPD and prosecuting attorneys were. Basically an entire open and shut case laid out and they managed to bungle it horribly.
June 23rd, 2011 at 9:15 AM

They’ll (and by they, I dont’ mean black people, just Darrell) will say that the burden of proof is on the prosecution, and that very often, innocent black people get put away because of the presumption of guilt. And that if you seek an apology for this from them, will you apologize to the thousands upon thousands of nameless innocent black men who were put away by predominantly white juries?

Yeah… but even with all the fuck ups… the evidence still overwhelmingly pointed to OJ. His car seen speeding away from Nicole’s neighborhood, the victim’s DNA in HIS car and home, etc. Nobody really knew what the hell DNA was back then though, and the prosecution did a shitty job explaining to the Jury that it essentially meant he was guilty.

you’re not going to win the case now. Of course he did it, he’s just admitted it, and that renders the preponderance of evidence you’re presenting as (a little bit) moot, counselor.

June 23rd, 2011 at 9:38 AM
Well I kind of take offense to this. I was a naive 13 year old back then, ok??
Oh, I thought OJ was innocent at the beginning of the trial too. “C’mon, it’s Nordberg!” I told my parents. Then after I understood what DNA was, I was like, “Fucking Nordberg killed those people. Geez.”

You’re very good at being a dick just to be a dick. Anyone ever tell you that? I wasn’t trying to prove he did it. Wilhreems said that the case was fucked up by the prosecution, and my point was that even with the fuck ups, he still should have been found guilty. It was just my fucking opinion. Also, the sky is blue, but I’m sure you’ll say otherwise, simply because I said it.

No…christ… you guys are the best at putting words in my mouth and then arguing against them though, so I’ll enlighten you.

Everyone knows he did it, but the prosecution was so horrible it easily created doubt for the jury. To be an honest juror, you have to follow the rules and not what you think happened. The prosecution presented a story, and honestly, I had reasonable doubt about it because they botched so many things. I would have voted innocent as well.

It is either J. Peterman or Steve Harvey right now. Not sure.
June 23rd, 2011 at 10:18 AM
Steve Harvey hosts it now I think
yuck. I’m sure he’s guilty of something. (I didn’t like J Pederman either, though).

So our bar trivia team’s in the national finals. Atlantic City baby, here we come!

I can’t believe they have auditions for that show. I watched one when I was home sick a few months back and I swear neither family understood they were supposed to pick answers that the general public would pick. They were complete morons.

I really thought with Peterman the sexual harassment of women contestants would be upped.

no offense to scuba steve, but they’re auditioning to make sure you’re a dumb and photogenic group with lots of energy, capable of a few groaner answers.
June 23rd, 2011 at 10:23 AM
Scuba Steve – what family members went to the audition? Do they make you play the game as your audition? Or do you just answer a bunch of questions and try to appear fun and entertaining while answering them?
June 23rd, 2011 at 10:24 AM
It’s amazing how people in the auditions failed to grasp this concept as well. People auditioning put a lot more emphasis on acting crazy with over-the-top enthusiasm than having actual ability to play the game.

Is anyone else here subjected to a once a month full staff meeting? About to enter into one and I absolutely dread this monthly.
June 23rd, 2011 at 10:25 AM
what family members went to the audition?
I assume the ones with the biggest knockers.
June 23rd, 2011 at 10:27 AM
no, thankfully my group of about 25 people each have such different outlook calendars and schedules that all meetings are conducted by updates sent by my manager.
unfortunately this also means it’s impossible to do a pancake breakfast.

My family’s team included my wife, my brother-in-law, my brother, my father-in-law and me.
You get to play two normal rounds – faceoffs included against another family. Each family gets control of the board once, no matter who wins the faceoff. We won both rounds we played. #humblebrag
They tape the auditions with a camcorder, so they can see how your family would look on TV. At our particular audition location, there were over 200 families that tried out. The producers hope to get 20 to 30 families from just this one audition.

That’s the surest way to get on TV though. It’s the same reason I think those Jay-Walking skits Leno does are dumb. People are going to purposely say stupid shit just to get on TV. If he asks you whom the 1st President was and you say Washington, you’re not going to get famous.

Did you read the Stefan Fatsis book? It’s a good book. Not as good as his scrabble book, but still, good.
I don’t know who Stefan Fatsis is. Of course, I didn’t know who Blake Lively was either, so I’m assuming he’s on Gossip Girls.
June 23rd, 2011 at 10:33 AM
For sure, but as we watched other families audition, you could tell that the producers were getting a bit upset at the people who just jumped around and screamed all the time – with little knowledge of the game. It was basically wasting their time.
June 23rd, 2011 at 10:40 AM
I don’t know who Stefan Fatsis is. Of course, I didn’t know who Blake Lively was either, so I’m assuming he’s on Gossip Girls.
he’s a sports reporter for I think the Wall Street Journal, and an author of 2 books that I’ve read. They’re immersion stories, one where he became a competitive scrabbler (word freak) which I wholeheartedly recommend, and the second, 3 Seconds of Panic, where he went to camp as a FG kicker with the Denver Broncos, which you, being a football nut should read.
You’d like both. I’ve probably got Word Freak lying around, and I could send it. I think I sent 3 seconds of Panic to Mizerle 06 last year. He might kick it along if you want.

I will supply Meat Porn on Monday after my smoke session this weekend. I hope.

What kind of smoker do you have Mint? I have a Weber Smokey Mountain that is awesome.
