I remember reading a book, from Anthony Robbins, in early 1992. One of the inspiring stories was of a young boy with rickets who overcame and went on to be a NFL super star, defying all the odds against him. I was inspired.
Then in 2004-2005 that same boy who had overcome was on trial for a horrendous murder. Like many people I had many mixed emotions. If nothing else, I was dissapointed. Guilty or not it was simply a sad story.
Over the past 13 years I have not given much thought about it other than the sporadic episodes of seemingly ridiculous altercations that Simpson seemed to get himself into.
The story now seems to end with more news that just doesn't make anyone feel good. I am not talking about the foolish behavior that he has seemed to display; just the story overall. Something that could have ended on a much more encouraging note over the totality of his life just seems to have gone from one tragic event to another.
