OJ. can’t regain sports status
W ell, the nation has fi
nally sighed a breath of
relief now that the trial
of the century is over.
No matter what your opinion
is on the verdict, most of the
public believes that Simpson’s
life will never be the same.
Before the media spectacle
began in
June of
1994, Simp
son was best
known for
his skills as
a running
back for the
Buffalo Bills in the 1970s —
not his high-speed chase down
the 405 in Los Angeles.
After the Hall of Famer re
tired from football, he had a
successful career as an analyst
for NBC. The operative word
here is “had.” Unfortunately for
Simpson, he no longer has a
television career. No matter
what, Simpson will never be
viewed as a legitimate analyst.
He will always be known as the
“wife beater” and/or “the killer.”
Pete Rose has the same
problem, although not as se
vere. Instead of being the most
prolific hitter in baseball, Rose
is known as the man who bet
on baseball.
While Simpson’s situation is
different because he is not a
convicted felon, it runs along
the same lines. Despite Simp
son’s talents, he will never be
remembered solely for his ath
letic and broadcasting abilities.
What’s even worse is that
even if Simpson tried to get his
old job back at NBC, the execu
tives probably wouldn’t even
hire him back. The publicity
would eat the network alive.
Can you imagine Bob Costas
asking O.J. what he has been
doing for the last year and a
half?
In the real world, outside
professional sports, if some
John Doe was arrested for the
murder of his wife and her
friend and then found not
guilty, the odds are that he
would be able to find another
job.
Simpson’s only sin was that
he was a great running back in
a society that idolizes and im
mortalizes athletes.
In addition to Simpson not
being able to find a broadcast
ing job, his induction into the
Hall of Fame will be forever
tainted.’
Just a few months ago,
someone stole his bust from
Canton. He will no longer be
O.J., the man who rushed for
2,003 yards in 1973, but in
stead, O.J., Kato Kaelin’s
housemate.
It is a sad state of affairs
when an
individ
ual can
not earn’
on his
life after
being ac
quitted
of a crime.
O.J. should be able to reen
ter society just like every other
ordinary person that has been
acquitted by the criminal jus
tice system.
Just because he was a
celebrity before this all began
does not mean that it should be
tougher for him to regain his
reputation as one of the best
running backs in NFL history.

Jones, Switzer fight different battles
as Cowboys prepare for Packers
□ Switzer must prepare
to not play Troy Aik-
man, who is injured.
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Barry
Switzer and Jerry Jones spent
Tuesday preparing the Dallas
Cowboys for two very different
battles.
Coach Switzer and his staff
are figuring out a way to crack
Green Bay’s staunch defensive
front without star quarterback
Troy Aikman, who suffered a
strained right calf in Sunday’s
27-23 loss at Washington.
Jones, speaking at his regular
midday news conference, said he
was leaving later in the day for a
meeting with NFL officials at an
undisclosed place and time to
continue discussions concerning
the league’s $300 million lawsuit
against the club.
Jones, the Cowboys’ owner,
said the league got its first
glimpse at the actual deals he
has fashioned between Texas
Stadium and sponsors such as
Nike, Pepsi-Cola and Dr Pepper
after meetings last week. He has
maintained communications with
other owners and the NFL
throughout the weekend.
The federal lawsuit has not
impeded negotiations between
Jones and other potential spon
sors, such as American Express,
he said.
“I think there’s some potential
for positive results (from the
meeting) as opposed to going full
bore into heavy countersuits and
heavy litigation,” said Jones as
his Nike logo lapel pin glistened
in the camera lights. “I think
there’s enough to be gained to
make me spend the energy and
travel time to have the meeting.”
He said the four-hour session
involving him and a group of
owners last week was “construc
tive,”' but nothing positive came
of it.
Jones also said he believes the
$35 million contract of corner-
back Deion Sanders, who is re
covering from ankle surgery, will
be approved by the league with
out any alterations.
Meanwhile, Switzer and his
staff must draw up his game plan
for Sunday’s matchup against the
Green Bay Packers without
Sanders or Aikman against the
league’s No. 1 defensive unit.
“It’s scary to look at them and
see how physical and strong and
talented they are,” he said. ‘To
have dominated them the way we
did in the playoff game (35-9) and
to look at what they’ve accom
plished this year, statistically it's
not the same football team, but it
is. It’s the same players.”
The Packers are yielding jus.
230 yards per game, including
84.5 on the ground. The Cowboys
will counter with NFL rushing
leader Emmitt Smith and his
127.6 yards-per-game average.
“Statistics mean something
now,” said Switzer of the defen
sive-minded Packers, who will
come off of a bye week. “We’ve got
a great challenge ahead of us.”
Veteran Wade Wilson will
start in place of Aikman, who
hopes to be ready the following
Sunday at San Diego. Backing up
Wilson will be Jason Garrett,
who started the Cowboys’ 42-31
victory over Packers last Thanks
giving.
“You still have to deal with
Michael Irvin, their offensive
line, Jay Novacek and of course
Emmitt Smith. Your playing the
same crew all the time,” Green
Bay coach Mike Holmgren said,
