>OJ did it, move on

An ex-OJ Simpson associate is now spilling his guts, saying that a high, drunk OJ admitted murdering his wife and Ronald Goldman in 1994

Let's stop pretending that this is really news worthy here. OJ did it, we all know that.

I was in sixth grade when the murder happened. I watched story unfold, saw a sweet bronco chase, remember the trial (Judge Ito, Kato Kaelin and all). I watched the verdict in my sixth grade science class (obviously Ms. Hunter really didn't have anything better to do...like teach.) And through all of that, I only knew one thing: OJ did it.

So stop. I don't want it on Sportscenter, CNN.com needs to find something better to do and aren't there better guests for "Outside the Lines" than scumbags (if you were EVER in the "OJ camp," you are a scumbag.)

Forget the "fictional" book, the banter- it's old and I'm over it. OJ Simpson could stand in front of congress and say "I killed 'em, it was fun, kiss my ass" and there is nothing anyone could do. So if we all know he did and there is nothing that can be done about it, what is the big deal? I don't care if he admits it.

Stop wasting my time, this isn't 1994. OJ Simpson is dead to half the world, why can't we just leave it that way?

>West Coast Evils

I feel like I need a therapist for this one...

Doctor, I hate the West Coast and I really don't know why.

I guess it started in 2006 with this fellow named Steve Klosterman. He had these easy-t0-mock friends named Dennis Gonzales, Damien Scott, Paul George, Jamie Diefenbach, Nick Scheftic and this feathery haired jerk named Tony Ker.

Last year, I thought I was content until some guy who can't spell Jason right (yeah, you Jayson Jablonsky) and his buddy Brian Thornton came along.

And now, I have this strange desire to punch an Aussie named Paul.

Why do I have such rage when it comes to the volleyball programs of the West Coast?

Tonight, Pepperdine (who got royally ousted by the Mastodons last year) advanced to the National Title Game. And with the wave they are riding (no pun intended), it may be hard for the Nittany Lions of Penn State to get by them. And that really, really irritates me. If Paul Carroll and JD Schleppenbach out-do Matt Anderson and Luke Murray, I may go insane.

This time, my boys aren't even involved. So why the rage? Why do I wish that Penn State ends Saturday night in some fashion that resembles 30-0, 30-0, 30-1? (Yeah, I'll give Pepperdine a point for a ridiculous mascot)

The hatred I feel for UCLA, UC-Irvine, Pepperdine and yes you UC-Santa Barbara (turn around and watch the game!) is unrivaled!

Maybe I need help. I don't even get this upset for Duke basketball sometimes. But I am sick of this "west coast dominance" shit. It's time to put these boys and their old, tired coaches in their place.

Go Penn State.
