OJ Simpson died yesterday at the age of 76. Dead of cancer. The feel-good story out of Potrero Hill and CCSF who became a Hall of Fame running back for Buffalo, the first back to rush for over 2,000 yards (in a 14 game season no less), the first black spokesman for a major US company (Hertz), had a pretty strong acting career (Capricorn One, Roots, Towering Inferno), and hit comedy highs with Leslie Nielsen and the Naked Gun series then became a pariah for getting away with murder and ultimately doing time for the armed robbery of what used to be his memorabilia left a crazy legacy as a spectacular athlete, a great friend, a wonderful guy, and ultimately a deeply flawed human being.
Stripped of his Heisman and pretty much shunned by most of the friends he had made over the years, the guy was a phenomenal running back. By the time he came to the 49ers, he was a broken shell of himself. The only good thing he did for the 49ers was convince Joe Thomas to install grass back at Candlestick Park to help his ailing knees.
The car chase, the threatened suicide, and his subsequent trial and acquittal became a spectacle for the ages.
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
He can RIP knowing the real killer is dead 💀 🍊
I doubt he will be missed by very many people.

Dude is at least in the Hall of Fame of player names. Up there with Dick Butkis, Fair Hooker, and Johnny Blood.
Rock Ya-Sin sounds like a Prince song.
