Roxpert, I personally don't think OJ did kill his ex. I think his son did it. So its a moot point, but he was found not guilty anyway, so why should the writers hold OJ accountable?

In Rose's case, had he not become a Player/Manager and then Manager right after his playing career, he would've been elected into the HOF before he was convicted by Bart, and later a Jury of Tax Evasion.
Are you of the opinion that if he had been elected to the HOF, that he should've been removed from the Hall after he was found to have lied about his betting?
I personally think the writers use the HOF as a dagger to get quotes from the players. The whole Dave Kingman-Rat in a box issue comes to mind. I believe that Kingman has the most HR's for a person not elected, and if he was a "quote whore" he probably would've been given more consideration.


Everytime I click the quote button, the whole post I want to quote from comes up. Do you just erase the whole post and paste your quote in?
