The Flip Side of the Coin

In my last blog, I talked about Jerry Rice, and how much class that he had.

In reading some of today's headlines, I'm reminded of an athlete that is the exact opposite of class.

O.J. Simpson wrote a book titled, "If I Did it". He was also going to give Fox an interview. The book and interview were "hypotheticals", on how he would have committed the murders of ex-wife Nicole Brown-Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. Luckily, Fox had enough good sense not to publish the book, and not go through with the interview.

If you want to talk about class, let's talk Jerry Rice. NeedĀ an antonym? Look no further than the former USC star running back.

On hearing the news that Simpson was about to release a book, a book that pretty brags about what he did, my heart really went out for the Browns and the Goldmans. They went through the worst of hell, seeing their loved ones killed, and the allegedĀ killer set free.

Now, they were forced to relive it. Even if the book never sees the light of day. (Hopefully it never will.) Just the mention of it. And for what? To make a profit? To gloat? If he wants to unburden his soul, and let it be known that he did it, find another way. Ask for forgiveness. You may not get it, but ask. Don't write a book, bragging about it.

Isn't it enough getting away with murder?
