These c00ns praising Nicole’s “beauty”

Frfr. She wasn't attractive and she looked 15-20 years older than her age

She died at age 35 yet you would think she were 50 something in her pics

Them nigg@s were heavy with that Team Snow Patrol . OJ needed no explanation, Shipp seemed mesmerized by Nicole whenever she was mentioned, Marcus Allen had to get him a piece, based on some reports, Bell seemed overly excited with having access to them courtesy of OJ, and as close as AC was to them both, it wouldn’t shocked me if crossed those lines like Marcus Allen…akin to ‘The Best Man’

Finally completed this after watching bits and pieces since it aired. This was a great and entertaining documentary, and it triggered many emotions as it progressed. Part 4 was the best episode IMO but also reached top-notch levels from Law Enforcement, Prosecution Team, OJ’s ‘friends’ and associates. I didn’t expect them to show the unedited version of the crime scene photos though. Clearly there were some things omitted to protect some folks, but overall the doc was very captivating.

What do you think might have been omitted?

I might go back through, I remember it being well made.

Honestly, they recruited a nikka to slander OJ some more. That old gag, didn't appreciate it.

What do you think might have been omitted.

Some of the things that have been mentioned in this thread by other bruhs regarding Ron and Nicole (which I guess some may view as distasteful and hearsay), some counters presented by OJ’s defense.

Since it’s the 30th anniversary since everything went down, finally decided to watch this. I’ve had it in my collection for years, and I think I saw the first ep, but now it’s time to see the entire docu-series.

Can you go into a little more detail? I’m not trying to go through 150+ pages.

I liked the FX series with Cuba Gooding better

That’s good. I remember watching it while it aired. The thread in the Film Room was fun to chat about it.

Wild that he was pretty much considered a bust those first few years in the league due to the dumb coach not keeping him at the RB spot. Dude woulda had higher numbers if he just stayed in his position instead of trying to work as WR/special teams.

She was nothing more than a " base model" boney azz white woman with no options, not even power windows. But her looks were what white women strived to be in the 80s

One of the best docs ever created

PAWGers were down bad in the 80s

I’m almost of the belief that it’s psychological with some of the boomer brehs on how white women were put on pedestals, and appeared forbidden back then, so to speak. They wanted a piece of the forbidden fruit, once they had access. You heard how everyone associated with OJ sounded when recounting the access to the ‘Pretty white women’, or discussing how pretty and blonde Nicole was

Only way them drooling over her is that she was one of those women that just oozed sex in person. Causing looking at her in pics I don't see anything to go crazy about at all. But I know some females like that in real life that don't look like much in pictures but then you see them in person and they just got the sexual aura to em.
