Do the BroJos seem like intellectually curious people to you?
Have they ever, even accidentally, made a literary reference, or a historcal one with regard to what they read?
They don't read, or can't read. Those naps and TV sessions take up all their free time.
5 pages of comments and I can't believe no one has mentioned OJ's Oscar-worthy performance in Towering Inferno a movie whose cast included
Steve McQueen
Paul Newman
William Holden
Faye Dunaway
Fred Astaire
Susan Blakely
Richard Chamberlain
Jennifer Jones
O. J. Simpson
Robert Vaughn
Robert Wagner

It never surprises me when anyone at LetsRun is ignorant about any topic, even a topic in which they should be experts. The brosjo lack basic knowledge of spelling, math, English grammar, history, economics, ethics, science - why should track be any different?

It was a WR for both meters and yards. We were running a 440 yard relay at the NCAAs in 1967. Yards are further than meters. Track was made of chopped up tires. It was wet and cool. 9:00pm. BYU. Earl started, I was second, OJ was third, Lennox was anchor. Tennessee was second in 40.00 flat. No pressure!
Cool Fred. You were pretty fast yourself. Watched you race several times when I was in high school and you were at SC.
The thing that I'm most shocked by in running is the fact that this website has become a welcoming hotbed of right wing disinformation, Trumpism, and likely, some Russian trolls.
Check in with the psyche doc.

Does the name allen 53 mean anything to you? Him and his band of sympathizers post nonstop nonsense. But I need a psych eval?
OK

Well he may need a psyche doc, but you can bag the Russian troll nonsense.
There are nuts like him all over. That they are embraced here is the weird part.
And do not underestimate the Russians. I mean, you aren't new to this internet thing.

Dude, the Russia thing and Trump was started by the Hillary campaign. Time to move on. I doubt there are many Russians trying to influence politics on Lets Run. More likely a handful of unhinged posters, both Democrats and Republicans.

H.R.C. did not force Trump to cheat every contractor in up-state NJ and Manhattan. H.R.C. did not decide that no U.S bank would do business with Trump. Putin through is affiliates bankrolled and continues to bankroll Trump. What does H.R.C. have to with Trump today? Trump is a Manchurian Candidate. All who support him are either fools or racists or criminals? Which are you Mr Nazi lover?
Everyone that disagrees with you is a Russian, Nazi, or racist.
Nazi were truly racists, and the Russians defeated the Nazis. So you may want reconcile your confused logic.
OK. I am not a doctor, psychologist, nor care to engage further in your delusions.

And the mask is off. If it was ever on.
Go read the (R controlled) Senate Intel report and get back to us.
i don't get why the record would count if its at altitude. sprinters run faster at altitude. it was at 4500ft.
For the history of world records in yards (along with other very interesting track and field events) please see:

Yes, I find him very funny in that role (he just kills me).
This post was removed.
I have an autographed photo of OJ in his USC football uniform. I have never bothered to figure out if it is worth anything.
I always like his USC teammate, Don Quarrie, for what it is worth.

I knew it. Another little known fact. In 1964 my girlfriend attended Lincoln High School in San Francisco. The quarterback of the team was Mike Holmgren. Of course he was all-league. There was a running back for Galileo High School who set the league on fire. OJ Simpson. OJ attended San Francisco City College for two years before transferring to USC.
Hologren was also at U.S.C. with Simpson and according to O.J., the only thing he was good at was handing the ball off to his star running back.
Don Quarrie was later on the track team and Simpson said that whenever they threw a football around, the ball would ricochet of Quarrie's hands every time.
