I saw a short video clip last night that started by saying in a very positive way, as a memorial message might that OJ was now at a point where he could finally rest, then it cut to a video clip of OJ after he was found not guilting saying in an interview that he would not rest until Nicole Brown Simpson's Killer was dead. I should have saved a link, but it was priceless.

Bill Walton was truly one of a kind,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. “As a Hall of Fame player, he redefined the center position. His unique all-around skills made him a dominant force at UCLA and led to an NBA regular-season and Finals MVP, two NBA championships and a spot on the NBA’s 50th and 75th Anniversary Teams.
