Super Bowl Scoop: Is It True O.J. Simpson has quietly asked NFL officials if they would have a problem with him attending the Super Bowl game. Don’t know what their answer will be. Old killer lives just five miles from Allegiant Stadium where the game is being played in Las Vegas. Question, has enough time passed? Although O.J. was found not guilty in the criminal trial, he was found very guilty in the civil trial. I can’t see the NFL wanting the distraction of O.J. Simpson at the game.
Many people argue what was the biggest Super Bowl, what was the most surprising Super Bowl, what was the most memorable Super Bowl. Well, they can argue all that all they want but the most important Super Bowl was Super Bowl 3 by far! It was between the New York Jets and the Baltimore Colts. Scoop is, since the first Super Bowl game was a blow out with National Football Green Bay Packers 35 and American Football Kansas City 10. And Super Bowl 2 was another blow out, National Football League Green Bay 33 and the American Football League Oakland 14, insiders had decided if the AFL got blown out in Super Bowl 3, there would be no merger of the two leagues. But in Super Bowl 3 on Jan 12, 1969, the American Football League New York Jets, lead by Joe Namath, actually beat the National Football League Baltimore Colts. History was made, the two leagues merged and now you know the rest of the story.
Tomorrow a big star of Sunday’s game has been sneaking off. Who is he, and where is sneaking off too? That’s tomorrow.
