Rich Eisen Reacts to the Death of O.J. Simpson at the Age of 76 | The Rich Eisen Show 

A shame he never found the killer. They say that in one of those weird coincidences, the real killer died the very same day.

That 30 for 30 is still insanely well done……….mind-blowing……..

OJ wrote a book detailing if he was the killer, how he would have done it. Then did an interview regarding the book and he would constantly switch to first person when describing the main character. But hey, it’s only a hypothetical book. 😅

Have to give it to him, he did the impossible. He made the Ford Bronco iconic.

Cancers new book: If I Did It

He just had the killer mentality that you really look for in a great running back

The Kardashians owe everything to this man

At least he can rest easy knowing his wife’s killer is dead.

If only Norm McDonald were alive for this.

“No great loss to the world” is a perfect way to describe his passing.

I love the interview in the 80's where Oj was worried he would only be remembered for the Hertz commercials

Oj doesn't deserve any respect he killed nicole and ron. Tried to cash in by writing a book about it

The world shall never forgive him for starting the Kardashians' rise to "being famous for being famous"

Rich, OJ was a great football player! But, he was a horrible human being. Ron and Nicole can Rest In Peace!

Cancer isn't often right, but when it is......

I just know he's somewhere else right now, smiling up at us. 🔥

1:22 “I will never forget… that series” literally seconds after forgetting whom the Knicks played in the series.

The worst thing O.J. did was to give us the Kardashians. No O.J. - no THEM.

God I wish Norm was still around for this.

“Well, it's finally official, murder, is legal in the state of California.”

I was 12 years old and remember it all! Back then I gave him the benefit of doubt, but years later changed my mind and realized yep he did it

Possibly the only time in history anyone ever cheered for cancer.

I love Norm Macdonald

I’ve always been against cancer, but today, you know maybe I judged it too harshly.

I had a respect judge tell me at a Christmas party "I sent a Hell of a lot of people to prison on a lot less evidence than that"

Well whoever the killer is can finally quit hiding on golf courses. The man relentlessly pursuing him is gone.

Now the Bills can win a Super Bowl since the OJ curse is broken

For some reason hearing Rich Eisen talk about himself before becoming famous, makes me feel really old.

The murders he committed far outweigh any accomplishments he had on the football field. Records are meant to be broken, hell is for eternity!

Robert Shapiro (one of OJ’s lawyers) said: “We (OJ’s lawyers) had agreed to NOT play the race card, but Cochran and Bailey not only played the race card, they played it from the bottom of the deck.”

The REAL....JUDGEMENT DAY for OJ SIMPSON.

Oj was the bigggest back then = its if like Brady getting charged now .thats how big it was

Thanks for the commentary for his family and for some who are having conflicted feelings today. It's hard to wrap your mind around the fact that there is good in the worst of us and bad in the best of us.

I also do remember that Infamous day. I'd wished that would of been his final day.

may the Goldman family celebrate

Crazy that Reggie Bush was stripped of his Heisman but OJ kept his. Honestly both should keep them. Actions off the field don't change actions on it.

I remember how shocked OJ was when they said he was innocent! He couldn’t believe it either! He did not repent going to his grave! 😨👹

RIP to the legend. He killed it in everything he did.

Now he can look for Ron and Nicole’s killer in hell

This was very well done, the closing comment was excellent.

Just like to point out that my father was the creative art director (Advertising) that originated the "idea" of OJ flying through the airport to his Hertz rental car. At the time, his agency Scali, McCabe & Sloves held the Hertz account. I got to meet OJ as an 8 yr old and was on location for the shoot. The airport footage was taken at LAX. The scene where he flew into the roof of his car was done by a harness attached to a crane. Then, we went to Disney Studios to film OJ for the flying section on a blue screen. The special effects coordinator from the movie "Suoerman" Dennis Coop oversaw that aspect of the commercial. Truth is I'm so proud of my father as this commercial is ICONIC. 95% of people when i ask, who do you think of in the early 80's when you think of Hertz? OJ is the answer. That is great advertising!

Rodney King: March 1991: After being seen speeding on the 210 freeway by California Highway Patrol officers, King led them on a chase at speeds est. up to 115 mph. When finally stopped, King refused requests to get into the prone position and charged one of the officers. He was beaten and arrested. King was charged with felony evading. Charges were later dropped. July 1987: Rodney King was placed on probation for beating his wife. November 1989: Rodney King was sentenced to 2 years in prison (but was paroled in December 1990) for attacking a store clerk with a tire iron and stealing $200.

CNN Tickertape was going on during Desert Shield/Storm if I recall correctly

I was sitting in my living room in Rogers Park in Chicago--two miles north of where Rich was in Evanston--watching the Knicks/Rockets game, when the screen split between the game and the chase. Surreal.

He went from beloved NFL legend to an infamous defendant in a trial that had an international level of attention over a double homicide where he was the primary suspect. Trial of the century but don't forget that he died surrounded by family and friends while Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman died painfully on the ground from multiple stabbings.

" Now looky here. I can see OJ and he looks scared. Baba Booey to you all!" Peter, this Al Michaels, that was totally farcical call.

Damn he never found the real killers 😞

“June 17th, 1994” & the five part docuseries “OJ: Made In America” are both absolute masterpieces. When Rich is talking about “they barely brought up the chase” during the trial, they were not allowed to mention the chase, the suicide note, the phone call w/ the hostage negotiator, etc. It was all ruled “inadmissible”. Edit- there’s more misinfo in this 9 min clip than in a 4 hr Roe Jogan podcast. - OJ didn’t have his Heisman anymore either, he auctioned it off for help w/ legal fees in the 90’s. - he served 8 yrs in prison in NV, not 12

I really wanted to see OJ do some commercials for the new Ford Bronco.

Condolences 💐 to his family

Breaking: Officials were unable to remove Kato from OJ's coat-tails before burial.

OJ was such a great running back in his day with the way he just sliced through defenses.

The O.J. trial has been compared to the Emmett Till trial (as one example) in terms of the guilty parties being found "Innocent"--and the similar impact on the two races. One key difference is that the guilty parties in the Emmett Till trial later admitted that they were GUILTY.

Sorry about his passing ,praying for the family.

There was so much going on that day - it is a forever memory for me for sure.

OJ watching a movie: "YA CALL THAT A STABBIN'!!??" 😳😵‍💫

They didn't bring up the "chase" because it was dumb. No chase in the history of chases occurred on the freeway at 60 miles per hour or less. First "slow speed" car chase in the history of policing. There were dozens of police cars behind OJ's slow Bronco, for a very long time. Would have taken then less than a minute or two to stop him. Two cars on either side, and one in front, who slowly slows down and it's all over, and over safely. Nothing about the car chase adds up. We were all being spun by the media, but it was back in a time when we all trusted everything the news and government told us.

A double murderer acquitted because of the quality of his legal team, the laughable incompetence of the prosescutors and the unique historical context of that period in LA.

He was just drafted by the devil

cancer is about to put on a small glove and demand to be acquitted of these charges, then spend the rest of it's life hoping not to run into OJ's real killer on the streets

I remember the verdict more than the actual chase. I was in my young teens and when the verdict was called, I was in class and the whole school pressed pause to watch it on TV. This trial's, and the Caylee Anthony murder trial verdicts, are still to this day the most shocking.

I watched that trial from beginning to end. I'm not going to celebrate his death. He would have to answer to God for what he did.

day of judgment o j

The only topic of discussion should be that time someone murdered and almost decapitated OJ’s ex wife and boyfriend. Then for some reason this mystery killer left a bloody glove from the crime scene in OJ’s backyard.

It was also the opener of the 1994 World Cup in the US, at old Solider Field in Chicago on the day of the Bronco chase on June 17, 1994

One of the BEST clips of RE on YT I've seen.

OJ was handing out jabs way before covid. Pioneer

If the killer is a golfer, he would have found them.

The way to a man's heart is thru his stomach and for oj a way to a woman's heart is thru her neck

Hallelujah!

Judge Ito was not involved in the Preliminary Hearing….it was a woman Judge

Rich says you can’t talk about OJ without talking about the double murder case, yet he never talked about his football career. Insane.

I was at home watching TV when the car chase happened and I was in sixth grade when the verdict was read. They brought all us kids to one room to watch the verdict being read.

How can this case outrageously influence people of justice in America when this happens all the time!!! Tell me what you think of all the numerous people of lost their life to police!!!!

Cam and Mase “It is What It Is” sports podcast show will miss his analysis and presence on the show. Rest In Power from Black America 🇺🇸

always thought it was somewhat of a ironic twist that him being acquitted turned out to be the worst possibility for him in the long run. If he and the legal team from the jump pled guilty by insanity or “self defense”, how much time does he do? 15-20 years max and then everyone kind of forgets about him? Vince Neil of Motley Crue was drunk recklessly driving in that town, killed a guy and got a month in jail.

Totally agree with you Rich

GREAT VIDEO!

True story: I am working in Los Gatos, CA for a company that had just purchased my company back East. We are out at a bar called O'Shea's watching the Knicks playoff game. The bar is loud and the the screen switches to the Bronco in it's slow motion chase. I had the exact same '93 White Bronco- I laugh and point at the screen, unaware of what the context is, and say: "Hey, that's OJ- i have the same Bronco..." Then the reporter confirms that it is fact, OJ. Crazy.

EMMETT TILL WAS A INNOCENT 14 YEAR OLD BOY . HE NEVER MURDERD 2 PEOPLE.

And, in amazing coincidence, Nicole and Ron's killer is now dead. He escaped justice for thirty years but will definitely face it now. No sympathy for this bastard.

I was 12 when all of these events took place. My mom informed me when she picked me up from the library and then watched the coverage of when he basically got back to his house.

Yes, every news organization had the chase. I was in Germany (ex was in Army) and turned on Armed Forces Network (AFN), at 9AM. They had this on live. Thankfully I was back in the states when the actual trial was televised.

Okay I have a question, will white people remember gov Rick, Snyder, 12, people died because of him, and he is waiting around free, and nobody is talking about that.

Could this have been the world’s most famous murder trial in nearly 2,000 years…?!

In his autobiography from the late 70's in a very eerie coincidence, Juice pre book forward he described the difference between famous, infamous & notorious

my favorite memories of O.J. are Norm MacDonald's jokes about him.

Even though OJ went to prison later, and then was let out he at least got to live his life out to the end. Nicole and Ron never got to live their lives out.

Thanks to Rich for keeping it real on this one

All BS aside, OJ was a helluva tailback in both college & pros, it’s a shame that’ll forever be the afterthought of him

I was in a bar in Milwaukee watching the NBA finals. Crazy night.

Excellent memory by Mr. Eisen and a great take on Reggie Bush. Perspective matters.

Why would Reggie be mad? And why would they bring it up on his death post if he was acquitted?

The real issue was unmitigated, unyielding domestic violence.....Nicole Brown Simpson lived in sheer terror for years.... getting beatin' to a pulp.

Next time I play bar trivia my team name will be the oj Simpson institute for golf course management and cutlery.

No matter who the person is, no matter what they may or may not have done, I will never ever cheer for cancer taking someone from this world. Never.

It's a shame that Norm MacDonald is not the anchor of Weekend Update on SNL this Saturday. It might go something like this: "Well, it's now official. There is no cure for cancer."

What a perfect way to end this segment!! Once again you prove, Rich, that you are a good human being!!!

Do you think Fred Goldman is still rocking that 1920s barber mustache?

“You know, with OJ, the more I learn about that guy, the more I don’t care for him.” - Norm MacDonald
