It’s a story told countless times – star athlete has a great career, wins over the hearts of countless fans with incredible performances, and when it’s time to hang it up, they ride off into the sunset. Until they pop up in the news a few years later for something like a DUI arrest, or a good ‘ole fashioned assault charge. You see the mugshot and cringe, only remembering the glory days and what it had become. The show subject of this episode not only told that tale, but has taken that story to a whole new level. OJ Simpson stamped the history books of American culture when he led police on that low speed chase in the white Bronco that was watched by almost 100 million people. But that wasn’t the incident that put him behind bars. The wild and crazy tale of one of America’s athletic heroes has been told many times, so we’ll give it our best shot in this episode of AHC Podcast.
