I Didn’t Think of That

It seems everywhere I turn, someone is talking OJ Simpson, mostly old news. I thought when the trials were over, I’d not hear the name again. Already I heard it far too much.

Then, of all things, his name is back to the front page, so to speak, again. Again, because he decides to steal his trophies, we had to retell every aspect of the trial, as if for some reason I am going to be required to take a 50 question multiple choice test some time in the near future.

Then, of course, he dies. I heard about it and the first thing that comes to mind, OH NO! Not again. Yep. Sure enough. Obviously, all the news media in the world was all set, primed and ready. It would seem even the news of President Trump’s trial will not drive the old news of OJ from the top fold of the papers.

Then, surprise. Someone brings up something I didn’t think of. I can’t say it’s new, just that I never heard or considered it before. Maybe OJ committed the murders because of damage to his brain. He did play a lot of football, you know.

Well, I guess we will never know. The idea of examining his brain was quickly stopped. Then, to make sure it never happens, he will be cremated as quickly as possible. No sense the world of medicine learn anything from all of this. Go figure.
