According to the Book Standard (http://thebookstandard.com/bookstandard/news/author/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003285422), the National Enquirer (http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/63698) is reporting that O.J. Simpson has been writing a tell all book, and it includes a description of the murder of Nicole Simpson. The confession is prefaced by some sort of a statement that it's a hypothetical account, and the book is to be called "If I Did It."

I may be the only one in the world that didn't watch the hearings or follow the case (except when getting my hair cut), but even I know that the glove didn't fit. And everyone seems to want to hear the rest of the story. O.J. Simpson reportedly got $3.5 million for the book. I'm sure the publisher is going to make much more than that on sales. No word yet on whether there will be an e-book.

Though the University I was attending at the time decided they needed roll tv's out into the student center for the verdict.... :blink:

If he is a sportsman of a typical US sports game [American Soccer or so], I really don't know, nearly nobody :rolleyes5 will be interested in his book here in old Europe. :happy2:

If you want to unenlighten yourself, here's a brief O.J. rundown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oj_simpson)

"Eutopeans"? Is it really that bad in the US? :wink::laugh4: Believe it or not, that was a legitimate typo! :laugh4:

But it probably won't be a typo the next time.

Personally I tend to steer away from media hype.
Here we call them "Fouille merde" trans. S..T diggers!
There are far too many journalists for the quantity of potential news, although I fully appreciate the work from the technoguys we have here at MR. We don't thank you enough!
Kudos guys!
