Eric Deggans, TV and media critic for the St. Petersburg Times,
scored a telephone interview with O.J. Simpson on Wednesday via Miami radio station
WTPS 1080 AM. You can read more on his blog, "The Feed"; here are some highlights:
HOW WAS O.J. PAID? “There was a payment to me, and what was supposed to be the largest portion of it was handled by a corporation that my kids were involved in. They do stand to have a financial windfall....C’mon guys, let’s grow up. Will everybody stop being so naïve? Of course I got paid. I spent the money on my bills. It’s gone…I have a right to earn money if I can earn money. I don’t know why everybody is so confused about this.”
NOT GUILTY?: "I didn’t kill them – no matter what anybody else wants to say, I didn’t do it. Every book that was written about that – every blood book that was written by every lawyer and every family member and everybody close to that trial, is hypothetical. It’s hypothetical and its blood money – I said it in that Fox interview, before everybody complained. I agree with Goldman. I was hoping the book would never sell. I said it in the interview."
AND HOW ABOUT THAT "KRAMER" GUY MOUTHING OFF?: "It goes down to one thing: race. We all know that everybody wants to look the other way. You know darn well if Nicole and Ron were black, we wouldn’t be dealing with this situation. Michael Richard's comments will be forgotten a lot sooner than the Mel Gibson comments. They will never forgive him – the Jewish people will never forgive (Gibson) – and this country will hold him accountable a lot longer than they’re going to hold Michael Richards accountable.”
