    OJ isn't in prison because of bad karma over what he did to his wife, he's in prison because of bad karma he got from interrupting the most important sporting event in the history of Houston Sports.

    I was in 2nd grade, really not caring about it at all. I think I was more focused on Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles.

    I was 14, watching the game in my living room with my dad. We had just moved to the Houston area about a week before, and I remember being shocked that anyone could think some stupid, uneventful car chase was what people wanted to watch instead of the NBA Finals! We were astounded how long it went on LIVE with NOTHING happening. After 10 minutes or so, we turned on the radio.

    I was at home watching and recording it. I remember when that mess broke into the game, I was so mad, yelling at the screen. I still have the Video.

    Drunk at a bar in Huntsville TX watching with some friends. Summer school hadn't started yet so we had the whole place to ourselves.

    I was 25 but I can't remember exactly where I was. I think I might have been playing a gig or something, but I do remember hearing about it after the fact.

    My ex and I had just gotten in from an all night drive from New Orleans. We left the boat (casino) at like midnight and heard on the radio enroute... "O.J. Simpson is a fugitive" .... about an hour out of the Big Easy. We made it back in time for her to make it to work...LOL. After catching a couple of games in the quarter and the rest of that exhausting trip it was nice to be taking in the game at the casa. And then the whole car "chase" goes down .....I, like Scribo and many others was screaming for the game.....surreal and absolutely insane.
