I'm not even sure what turned, but it's crazy what a big moment this was in our history. A HOF football player and bad-actor (more ways than one) created a media frenzy almost unheard of before that.

Was it race? Was it fame? Both? But, even with both thrown in this story is so far ahead of just about every other story in terms of crazy/infamy that it's still hard to believe.

would never have known who Al Cowlings is and 99.999999% would never have known who Kato Kaelin is. Lance Ito is probably in that range, as well.

maybe it's because of my profession but when he was picked I wasn't surprised - appropriate fit with Bailey and Dershowitz and among all of them the most likely to actually take the lead in the courtroom. Shapiro, on the other hand, I hadn't heard of.

excluding the alleged(?) murderer. Father's family came from near Buffalo, and his uncle had season tickets for years. Cousin's basement was plastered with Bills and Simpson crap. The only Bills player I ever rooted for was Walt Patulski, and saw him play at a Bears pre-season game. It was quite a treat.

Patulski came from Syracuse tangent: Met Jim Brown at the Canton OH HOF Football Game when he was inducted. Great moment.


I forgot about Shapiro, as was proper. Thanks. *
