I extend my congratulations and all my praise this week to everyone's favorite running back, Juice.
He's back at it again, and now his wrap sheet is bigger and better than most thought the gloveless wonder could accomplish, reading something like: Acquitted murderer, pro running back, actor and now as of Sunday morning, O.J. faces multiple felony armed robbery charges.
Juice was caught breaking into an auction house in Vegas with an entourage and guns, forcibly trying to take his old sports memorabilia relics back, like an autographed picture of the Hall of Famer and J. Edgar Hoover. Sounds important enough for armed robbery to me.
I mean, can you blame the guy? After being completely innocent and having nothing to do with the violent murder of his ex-wife and Ron Goldman back in '94, fleeing police with a high speed chase in a white Bronco, nearly releasing a "hypothetical" book pondering the question of how Juice would have committed the murders and starring in horrible cop-spoof comedies, it's no surprise that instead of calling the police to get his "stolen" merchandise back, he'd arm himself to the teeth and get it himself.
That is his reasoning, of course: "The police, since my trouble, have not worked out for me."
I wonder why?
You're not Al Capone; not every crime is perfect.
