Orenthal James Simpson: once NFL star running back, once an actor, once accused of murdering his ex-wife (Nicole Brown) and her friend (Ron Goldman)... and now... convicted felon sentenced earlier today to serve 15-33 years behind bars (9 before parole hearing).

Sentencing Judge Glass commented: "Earlier in this case, at a bail hearing, I said to Mr. Simpson, I didn't know if he was arrogant, ignorant or both," Glass said. "During the trial and through this proceeding, I got the answer, and it was both." (CNN.com)

Good riddance O.J.

O.J. was another classic example of an athlete with the world at his fingertips... instead, he self destructed numerous times. His latest antics, as if being found liable for wrongful death and battery wasn't enough, were to hold people hostage at gun point in what he called an attempt to regain memorabilia. A million dollar celebrity with a ten cent head.

It's a relief to finally see this thug behind bars... 14 years too late. Better late than never in this case.

What makes certain athletes snap? Loss of stardom? Spending all their money before it's counted? O.J. isn't the only former star to fall hard. Some have committed rape, armed robbery, murder, muder for hire, racketeering, drug dealing, drug addicts, money laundering, illegal gambling, tax evasion, RICO etc.

OJ's arrogance for everything not OJ was his downfall. A star on the field and big screen... psychotic off. Trouble never followed OJ... he created it all. Right up until getting busted in Las Vegas this fool was still taunting the families of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.

In his private life doing petty things such as beating up new girlfriends, stealing satellite transmissions, tax evasion and a few other minor offenses. He even authored "If I Did It" ... a first-person fictional account of the murder had he actually committed it.

Now off he goes to serve some hard time. Eligible for parole hearings in 9 years, sentenced to serve no less than 15 with a max of 33.

Bye-bye OJ. Maybe you can regain some celebrity status with your new shower buddies!
