If O.J. Simpson can get iffy, so can a golf blogger

In a career full of glorious achievements, including gaining 2,003 yards rushing in 1973, the Naked Gun movies, the murders of his wife and her friend, and the O.J. Simpson Trial, O.J. Simpson is preparing for his next blockbuster smash - his new book “If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened.”

The book will be released on Nov. 30 by Regan Books, which carries the motto “Soul? Who the hell needs a soul when you can make money?”

Prior to the publication of the book, Simpson will sit down with Publisher Judith Regan for a two-part interview where he’ll describe how he killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, IF (wink, wink) he actually had killed them.

In the Fox interview, Simpson will talk about the ridiculous amounts of blood he spilled that night, IF (nudge, nudge) it was actually him that had gone on a knife-wielding rampage.

“O.J. Simpson: If (Nudge, nudge. Snap, snap. Grin, grin. Wink, wink, say no more) I Did It, Here’s How It Happened,” will air Nov. 27 and Nov. 29 on Fox, follwed by the wacky special “World’s Zaniest Horrific Murders.”

Of course, if O.J. Simpson can get iffy, so can a humble golf blogger.

If …

* If Tiger Woods really cared about the Fed-Ex Cup, do you think he’d be hawking his wares in Asia right about now?

* If you blow off an interview with Chris Baldwin and he whines about it, does that make you a jerk or him a whiner? The Critical Sports Blog picks the latter.

* If a company made flavored golf tees, would you take them for a test taste?

* If Fox News is paying terrorists millions to release their employees, how much should Tim Finchem pay Phil Mickelson’s family to release him?

* If Cristie Kerr wins the ADT Championship, and with it the LPGA’s money title, because of one great round, would that make the LPGA “playoff” system as ridiculous as it currently sounds?

* If a Wie falls in Hawaii, will anyone hear it?

So now OJ will finally tell the
"hypothetical" truth of the
slayings. There's no "if" about
it. He's guilty. Who drives with
a gun to their head on a police
escort chase. He's guilty.
Johnny Cochran was a genius for
his case, but the truth remains
...and the evidence supports it.
He's only now feeling a bit of
courage to publicly state the
truth by inconspicuous means.
Forget the "if's". OJ Simpson
is GUILTY!!!

Boycott OJ! Don't watch the show, don't buy the book, don't blog about his book or show and don't read blogs that do. It's despicable and disrespectful at its best, and that's even IF it were only an IF.

I'm disappointed that you stooped to make this association, WKW, but I'll let this one slide only for you because I'm usually so entertained by your writing and your ability to turn any story into a blog post on golf.

But I have to ask: Does a line exist that you won't cross for a couple more hits and comments? (I wince at the possibility that my own comment is probably only egging on more.)

Rupert Murdoch has changed his mind about crossing the line and cancelled both the book and the show. His NewsCorp owns the book publisher and, of course, Fox. Here's an excerpt from his written statement I found on marketwatch.com:

“I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project.

“We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson.”
