O.J. Simpson goes on trial for kidnapping and armed robbery today in Las Vegas, so he had a run-in with the law on Sunday to get him warmed up for court. Simpson was driving on I-15 in Vegas when he was pulled over by the Nevada Highway Patrol. At first I thought O.J. was trying to flee the state but it turns out somebody reported him for drunken driving.

Former USC Trojan and current New Orleans Saint Reggie Bush is in lukewarm water. He’s currently being investigated by the NCAA to see if Bush and his family received improper benefits. If the allegations turn out to be true, USC may have to give up it’s 2004 championship and Reggie could lose his 2005 Heisman. The new book, Tarnished Heisman: Did Reggie Bush Turn His Final College Season Into a Six-Figure Job?
A number of former Heisman winners were asked for their opinions on Reggie Bush’s situation. Read the full story
Courtesy of the crew at With Leather comes more classic Allen Iverson. Nelly and Allen are riding around on a bus, shootin the shit, and OJ Simpson comes up.. All I can say is AI needs to do this on a weekly basis. I wouldn’t miss an episode of Allen Iverson’s Sit Yo Ass Down.. Announcer: Next week on Sit Yo Ass Down with Allen Iverson, A.I. and the feds tell Michael Vick SIT YO ASS DOWN..So don’t miss Sit Yo Ass Down with Allen Iverson..Next Tuesday, after Hell Date.
It’s pretty obvious that a rapper has a better chance of getting an interview with A.I. than a reporter. TNT should replace Craig Sager with Farnsworth Bentley. The network would be able to keep Sager’s wackass wardrobe, and get Iverson in raw form.

David Letterman owns Jay Leno in my book, but I don’t watch either anymore. One of the staples of the Letterman show has always been the top ten list. Since Dave had Michael Vick’s top ten excuses, you knew he had to hit O.J. Simpson.

If O.J. is gonna get ten friends together, it would have to include a whacked out bunch like this video. The Juice, Pete Rose, Michael Vick, Tanya Harding, Bill Belichick, Mike Tyson, Jose Canseco, Ricky Williams, Tim Donaghy, Pacman Jones, and Rae Carruth make up “O.J.’s Eleven.. Gotta love Belichick with the camera… I have one question though.. Where the hell is Al Cowlings? Not just in the video, in real life. He shook O.J. like Barry Sanders did Rod Woodson.

If somebody was lucky enough to get away with a high profile double murder, you’d think they would want to avoid the spotlight by all means.. They wouldn’t write books about how the murders could have happened or do internet tv interviews. They wouldn’t always wind up in the news and the damn sure wouldn’t break the law.
Enter Orenthal James Simpson. He loves the spotlight. He has to. There’s no other way to explain how he’s always caught up in some shit. Simpson has had to talk to the police 7 times since he beat the murder charge. 7. I haven’t heard about Robert Blake so much as jaywalking.. Of course, Robert Blake’s not guilty decision wasn’t to White people what the Stoudemire/Diaw suspensions were to Suns fans, but still, all of the White anger in the country couldn’t have O.J. bumping into da Boys this much.
2000: Called 911 about his girlfriend that was supposedly high on cocaine. He also mentioned Pedro Guerrero and his drug case numerous times.
O.J. was allegedly kicked and slapped by a girlfriend at the Miami Wyndham hotel, but no charges were filed.
2001: O.J. was cleared of all charges stemming from an alleged road rage incident.
O.J.’s house was raided because he was stealing DirectTv. He ended up paying $58k in damages and lawyer fees.
2003: Simpson’s daughter Sydney called 911 about an “abuse thing”. No charges were filed.
2005: O.J. was at a neighbor’s house when the police are called to the scene about a fight. No charges are filed.
2007: O.J. faces two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit a crime and burglary with a firearm.
Let’s face it, O.J. needs to be locked up… So he can be protected from his damn self. At the pace he’s on, I could see “Suicide By Cop” in mid 2008.
