0:09 "An uncanny instinct for...when to make the cut." - Howard Cosell

1:31 “Football has been my vehicle. What is driving O.J. Simpson, is that need to be known." -O.J.
1:54 "What is driving O.J. Simpson, is that need to be known. I need that recognition." -O.J.

This is an addition to classic sports videos on this channel. It’s edited down from a 1979 NFL NBC Sports Feature celebrating O.J. Simpson’s football retirement. The thumbnail image is a clip is a from TV show fight clip of "Cade's County" TV Series, Episode 23 "The Fake" 1972 “The trail of an art collector's killer (O. J. Simpson in an inmate’s uniform) leads to a museum director and a mobster.” -wikipedia

He played for the NCAA USC Trojans, and the NFL Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers, setting many records along the way. The comments and TV fight scene are unintentionally ironic, and somewhat prophetic of his year’s to come as a murder suspect and inmate.

On the wake of his death, Apr 10, 2024, there are many O.J. Simpson Trial of the Century commentary videos. Not many vintage videos from his NFL and acting career standpoint can be found. I’ve had this footage from my NFL collection for a long time. I edited this down (partially due to music and partially to get to the point in this A.D.D. video world).

The intent is to show a piece of sports & social commentary history on my channel which also includes sports videos (including classic NFL and NHL). Don’t worry, there will be more Live shows, Roller Coasters incl TT2 aka Top Thrill 2 and Snoopy & Peanuts videos this season!

It includes unintentionally prophetic comments by Howard Cosell, who definitely had a poetic way with words, accompanied by footage of O.J. rushing for the Buffalo Bills. Others who make comments are Dwight Chapin of the L.A. Times quoting a USC teammate of O.J.'s Jim Snow, his Mother & Sister about how he was going to be the most famous person on TV, O.J. himself and Bryant Gumbel of NBC's "NFL Today". Clips of O.J. rushing, acting, and how he wanted people to like him.

FULL QUOTES:

(My videos contain voluminous explanatory text while I wait for the videos to upload & process. The kind of things I like to know)…

“What he has, is this uncanny instinct for sensing when to make the move, when to make the cut. He can kill you with a head fake. He can kill you with the swiftness of his legs, and the ability to be a direction at any single second. He also kills you with his variation of speed, perhaps this above all else, the ability within an instant to accelerate, that the defensive linemen and linebackers wonder whatever became of him.” - Howard Cosell

“If you miss O.J…once. He’s gone.” -Jim Snow, who played football with O.J. at USC, as quoted by Dwight Chapin, Former L.A. Times Sportswriter

“The trail of an art collector's killer (O. J. Simpson in an inmate’s uniform) leads to a museum director and a mobster.” -wikipedia, "Cade's County" TV Series, Episode 23 "The Fake" 1972

“He use to always tell us, he was gonna be greater than who we were watchin’ on the TV.” - O.J.’s Sister

“Football has been my vehicle to get out of the ghetto…There’s a lot of things I need as a person. I need that recognition…what is driving O.J. Simpson, is that need to be known…” - O.J. Simpson

“Though retired as a player, O.J. Simpson seems not only to be remembered, but cherished, for the memories he’s provided, past and future.” - Bryant Gumbel ’79 “NFL Today”
