Any time there is a controversy in the world of football, there is really only one person to go to for the voice of reason in this chaotic sports landscape. Of course, I am referring to “The Juice” O.J. Simpson.
Since joining Twitter, Orenthal has dispensed numerous pearls of wisdom about players like Colin Kaepernick (more than once), Melvin Gordon, Ezekiel Elliott, Andrew Luck, and on several occasions, Antonio Brown.
Today, the Heisman Trophy winner took a little break from his dedicated, ongoing search for the real killer of Nicole and Ron to weigh in on Myles Garrett hitting Mason Rudolph in the head with his own helmet near the end of the Browns-Steelers game on Thursday night.
You probably won’t believe this, but Simpson completely advocates the act of violence with a weapon that Garrett perpetrated against Rudolph, saying it was most definitely justified.
“Look, all I know is this,” said The Juice. “the minute Mason went after the man’s helmet, with his foot in his groin, IT’S ON! I’m hearing all these announcers saying, uh, that Garret should be suspended, and maybe he should, but when a guy’s trying to get your helmet off your head, and that’s where it started, with his foot in your groin, IT’S ON. I’m just sayin’. Take care.”
Naturally, the Twitter reactions to Simpson’s video was, as usual, where the real entertainment took place.
YESSSSS THIS IS WHAT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! OJ SIMPSON GIVING ASSAULT BREAKDOWNS

Sure, respond with homicidal violence. Miles has enough to worry about without the devil sticking up for him. At least he can watch games with you for the rest of the year.

Reports coming out that a note scrawled in blood reading "IT'S ON!" was found on the door of Rudolph Mason's residence. Witnesses saw a white 94 Ford Bronco fleeing erratically from the scene. Police, after thorough investigation, consider the matter now closed.

How unusual for OJ to justify violence by asking what the victim did to encourage the act.

Myles Garrett went easy on mason Rudolph.. if this was back in the day OJ Simpson would have killed mason Rudolph. Now media is stabbing Myles Garrett in the back. Plus was it even masons helmet? see how easy it came off? If the chinstrap don’t snap, then next week he’s back

What OJ is saying if you hit him 1st then you are fair game to get decapitated

This is your time to shine OJ. You’re an expert on these situations.

Nobody has an issue with ripping his helmet off Orenthal. He used it as weapon. That’s the issue. You get that right? You know all about weapons.

Juice... Myles says “the helmet don’t fit so you must acquit!” Or maybe he was helping him out it back on ! Did no one think of this 🧐

OJ takes a stab at analyzing last night’s fight. He really cuts right to the point. Really put on his gloves and went to work. No running away from it.

Thank you, thank you. Twitter will be here all week, folks. Please don’t forget to tip your waitress.
UPDATE: THE JUICE IS BACK WITH ANOTHER HOT TAKE ON MYLES GARRETT. (This time with his patented “Hey Twitter World” opening.)
UPDATE #2!! Orenthal is back AGAIN with a scorching hot take wondering why Mason Rudolph wasn’t punished.
