It's weird to watch this. If you're honest with yourself, you'll admit that he appears just like any other star athlete sports commentator: poised, articulate, bright. Not a shred of a clue of how he would turn out later.
+Robert Jensen OJ as a broadcaster, was perhaps OK but not stellar. He was one of those ex-pro athletes who coasted as far as was able to do from a glib personality And while OJ knew his football inside out, he lacked ease with his usage of grammar, vocabulary, and syntax.
In hindsight, why did NBC hire OJ in the first place (I think he started for them in 1989)? I'm not necessarily just saying this because all of the mess that would happen in his personal life from June 12, 1994 onward. And of course, if we were going to bring his personal life into the equation, then we might as well take for account that NBC hired OJ anyway after he was caught on tape beating his wife (I think it was the New Year's Day incident, for which OJ later plead no contest for). But back to the main subject, OJ was at best, an above average broadcaster. OJ could be charismatic but by some of the accounts that I've read, he came across as too scripted and self-indulgent.

Hard to believe that in less than 5 months his life would take complete disastrous turn.....and this would be his last NFL game he’d be commentating on.
hey, it just hit me. seeing his beloved bills lose their 4th straight super bowl was just too dam much for the juice and he snapped.....................oh wait you have the bloody glove that doesnt fit, ok just go with that
Cool that juice got to be a part of the bills super bowl appearances in some fashion. Was even in the locker room with them at halftime. Wonder if he traveled with the 49ers to the super bowl? Don't remember now
@@rafaelsantana4905not saying that he did it or not, but Nicole was always nagging! , but still not a good reason to Beat her up ( still not sure he did it, one day will figure it out hopefully)
@@KleWdSide and even now if you didn't know what he did you think he's one of the most Charming people around. Very disarming and kind comes across as somebody that can get along with absolutely anybody. I honestly think that I can probably go play golf with OJ or maybe go out for drinks and eat with him and probably forget what exactly he did. Just unbelievable but I guess that's a Hallmark of psychopathy is being able to charm your way out of almost anything which makes sense.
David Lewis really? I mean he was part of the dream team but he didn’t say anything reactive his license just to support OJ morally. But yh i thought he became famous for carrying the bag and reading the suicide note
I agree. Didn't he do sports commentary a whole lot back in the late 80's and early 90's? I forget. The REAL problem....is the way stuff was stored. VCRs didn't even become commonplace until around 1985 or so. And by now, most people have thrown out all their old tapes. We'll never know how much TV was lost by the general public back in the 80-90's via video tape discard.
Did he even take a breathe during that? Lol seems a little agitated I think he was starting to become unhinged at this point but that’s just my opinion
Oj im afraid I have some bad news regarding the next few months I am telling you right now to stay home and lock your doors for the rest of the year and dont take phone calls from people named kato kaelin your ex wife nicole or robert kardashian thank you and I am also reaching out to you about you cars extended warranty!!!
Oj said he talked to the Bills and they weren’t talking about a good first half or anything they said they’ll celebrate when it’s over. What happened? They were focused on the task at hand and motivated Buffalo should have won that game and super bowl 25 against the giants. They should have won 2 of 4.
Jimmy Johnson realized he wasn't going to win with his concussed quarterback who was being carried by the team. So being smart he went to his strengths that weren't concussed... a massive o line and a running back to work off it. Second half they played a different game and the Bills couldn't stop it.
It was his last broadcasting assignment, to this day. After he was accused of murdering his ex-wife and went on police chase in his Ford Bronco, NBC, Hollywood and the major companies that supported him, cut ties with him.

It's because he's a sociopath. They always come across as charming and bright.

Terrence Clay OJ earned a promotion from just being a measly side line reporter up to the big house. Not too people can say they have done that.
turn out? he turned out to be innocent! let's get him back on the sidelines !!!!
He's had a legendary 10 year run on commentary and commercials. Here's to another 10 years!
He wasn't a bad sideline reporter.
Agreed
pretty great actually.
He was awesome and blew it all away!😔
Thanks captain obvious
O.J. killed it that segment.
OJ killed it
them**
@@davidlewis4162 are you kin to Ray Lewis? Speaking of...
He was sharp as a knife
💀
"This is the kind of victory that makes you feel bad... but kind of good."
Top 5 RB in history!
Hard to believe that in less than 5 months his life would take complete disastrous turn.....and this would be his last NFL game he’d be commentating on.
Exactly I was watching a lot of his depositions and so weird to see him like that just 2 years after this
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that the Bills blew a 13-6 lead following halftime
hey, it just hit me. seeing his beloved bills lose their 4th straight super bowl was just too dam much for the juice and he snapped.....................oh wait you have the bloody glove that doesnt fit, ok just go with that
We all thought he was a really nice guy in those days.
Cool that juice got to be a part of the bills super bowl appearances in some fashion. Was even in the locker room with them at halftime. Wonder if he traveled with the 49ers to the super bowl? Don't remember now
He seems like a really nice guy, I hope things go well for him
He is, it’s just sometimes really bad people (Nicole) make good people (OJ) snap.
@@warhero0057 it's a shame he didn't get the chair
@@rafaelsantana4905not saying that he did it or not, but Nicole was always nagging! , but still not a good reason to Beat her up ( still not sure he did it, one day will figure it out hopefully)
This is strange to watch
He had an exemplary career & life before the murder case. The whole thing is one big tragedy, really.

This had to be his final broadcast before the murders. You'd never know.
it was
O.J. Simpson passed away!
Killer report by juice
Worst things oj ever did:
1. Hiring Robert Kardashian as one of his lawyers which made the Kardashian family famous.
2. Alleged murders.
Kardashian was already famous, he was one of the top lawyers in the country and a businessman
David Lewis really? I mean he was part of the dream team but he didn’t say anything reactive his license just to support OJ morally. But yh i thought he became famous for carrying the bag and reading the suicide note
wow the fact that i would see him on the nbc pregame week after week,know i was really young but i thought he seemed like a nice guy lol
Still is
Is he wearing his Bruno Maglis?
OJ would not wear those Ugly shoes.
and... the Bills would go on to blow the game.
I'm surprised there aren't more OJ NBC clips on RUclips.

Mr. Chopsticks
For a has been convicted wife beater and murderer of 2 defenceless human beings?

"lets check in with oj whos been following his ex wife"
Oj said he talked to the Bills and they weren’t talking about a good first half or anything they said they’ll celebrate when it’s over. What happened?

bet ya hes wearing his bruno magli shoes
neither The Bills or The JUICE has been back to the big game since.
Who would have thought that a few months after that...All that crazy stuff happens, Is charged with murder, bronco chase, on trail for murder...
I did not commit this crime
OJ Simpson yes you did
Nathan Babiuk nope
GoingBackToThe1980s I don't think so
One of the few (if not the only) times I’ve ever heard him tell the truth
I was at that super bowl at ATL and I saw the, juice himself
Was this OJ’a final broadcasting assignment?
the Bronco chase was like 4 months after this, and this being the Super Bowl, I'd say so. I guess he could have covered the Pro Bowl. Not sure.
It was his last broadcasting assignment, to this day. After he was accused of murdering his ex-wife and went on police chase in his Ford Bronco, NBC, Hollywood and the major companies that supported him, cut ties with him.
after this he was on trial for the murder of his wife
He should take up sideline reporting again.
What's up with that tiny microphone they gave O.J.? 😂
Because oj was tiny that's why nicole was sleeping around
Sounds like the Bills ran out of steam at the end of the first half? 13-6 Bills at the half... 30-13 final score.
I know why the Bills lost, they had an actor coaching their tight ends, Don Johnson.
What year was this?
January 1994
Out soon.
Not until 2017 at the earliest.
Daniel Dougan Yeah.
RIP to the juice
Oj is killer
lol@ video description
Ricky Andreou
Gale Sears #1
He is in jail.
not anymore :)
January 94. So Kato had already moved in and was living rent free at OJs.
Nicole was living rent free in OJ's head.
Oj innocent
