Hand It Over OJ

With all the hoopla surrounding the release of the first 2K Sports football game since ESPN NFL 2K5, All-Pro Football 2K8 garnered unspectacular reviews. The game actually garnered more attention when it was learned that OJ Simpson could be assigned to a team called the Assassins that had a knife wielding mascot. A statement issued by Take-Two says the Assassins mascot is "not specifically associated with O.J. Simpson, and the game does not promote any such connection."
As everyone knows, the former star running back was found legally responsible for the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1997 and was ordered to pay the Goldman estate $33.5 million. Recently the Goldman's caught wind of OJ's likeness being in All-Pro Football and have won a court decision that states that he would have to hand over his contract that he signed with Take-Two.
Murder, satellite dishes, and now this. It doesn't matter what decade it is, OJ Simpson is a lock for at least one major story.
