What if OJ became the football version of Pete Rose?

And by that, I mean someone who hawks their own autograph at every show, store, venue, etc. possible. Crazy inscriptions too. If OJ came out and said basically that he owes the Goldmans millions and he's going to sign and do whatever it takes to pay them off.

At that point, would you get his autograph then?

I'd rather have Lavar Ball's auto

That would be a killer autograph

Pete Rose never committed double homicide.

Art Vandelay · 07-21-2017, 04:11 PM

Pete Rose could inscribe - "I know who killed Nicole Brown Simpson" and OJ could inscribe - "At least I'm in the HOF."

Wow that Pete Rose play where he's running into home plate is reckless.....he could have gotten injured and really hurt his shoulder there. That coulda been bad

Surprised they haven't banned running over the catcher or head first sliding in baseball.

It was bad....for Ray Fosse. He fractured his shoulder in the collision. All star games are not what they used to be.

Pete Rose is and was a d!ck but did not commit double homicide.

I'd take an OJ Auto for sure

packman80 · 07-21-2017, 06:39 PM

Since Simpson would have to hand over any money he makes from signing unless he would do it as a PR stunt there is nothing in it money wise for him so makes little sense for him to sign auto's for cash.

MeteoriteGuy · 07-21-2017, 06:40 PM

I could use an OJ USC autograph. I do have one with the Bills, a Ron Mix Postcard. I would not assume there is no market as the OP seems to suggest. He was a Heisman winner and a HOFer, plenty of collectors.

If anything, the adding the Goldmans into it, might turn more people off.

golferphil · 07-21-2017, 08:12 PM

OJ can't/won't do it because he still owes the Brown and Goldman families $33 million from the civil trial. Anything he makes going forward would have to go towards paying that down. Plus, I read he gets $25k a MONTH from his NFL pension (which cannot be touched for the civil verdict), so it's not like he is going to be destitute.

MeteoriteGuy · 07-21-2017, 08:25 PM

To get a garnishment order they would have to go to court, not something that is really possible on a weekend deal. Simply not enough time. Now if he signed a longterm UDA like contract, that's another story.

Also, I know the Goldmans claim they haven't gotten a penny, but we know that isn't true. For example, they did get the rights to his "If I Did It" book, which they did sell.

Not hard they find out he is signing ahead of time which is going to be advertised if anyone has a brain to market it they go to court say they are entitled under the court order to any money he makes outside of his pention.

Also they said they have never got a penny from him as he has never given them any money personally. Anything they have got had to be taken from him through the courts.

MeteoriteGuy · 07-21-2017, 08:50 PM

If it was advertised well in a month advanced and if the courts rushed it through, then it would be possible. That's adding several ifs. From my own experience on such, I am not sure it is really feasible. They will/would have to get a different order for each show/signing. The order has to renewed every few weeks. (Time I would imagine is different in different states). None of this as easy as it sounds and the cost may be more then they would recover. Like I said, its not really feasible. I will add, in my opinion.

We have repeatedly been told he owes $33 million and hasn't paid a penny. That's more where my comment was. We don't know what exactly he owes now, and as long as the family keeps this 'hasn't paid a penny' story, I don't find them trustworthy on such.
