Is "IF I did it" "his confession"? What if? In the television interview OJ denies doing it, but what if he might 'hypothetically' have done it, What if he did it?
A "reveal-all", murky 'on camera' interview by FOX televison newswoman Judith Reganby with one of the most famous running backs in American football history, former Buffalo Bills football star, OJ Simpson, known commonly as "The Juice". Everyone will be watching as OJ 'talks murder' more than 10 years after his trial of the century on murder on the 1994 death of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald L. Goldman in Brentwood, CA and which is to be aired during the post-Thanksgiving, highly lucrative, "November Sweeps" ratings game.
What is OJ's profile? I don't know. I just always wonder. Is this, like everything else in this world seems to be, just for the money? I mean what could could it be that is going through OJ's mind? Fame? Desire to shock? Confession? I wonder if any one on Sawatdee Forum thinks they know about what it could be that OJ wants to do with this.

Simpson to Discuss How He'd Have Killed Ex-Wife - 'If I Did It'
The New York Times
LOS ANGELES (Nov. 14) - O. J. Simpson, who was acquitted 11 years ago of the 1994 death of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald L. Goldman has written a book and will appear on television telling тАЬhow he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible,тАЭ his publisher and the Fox television network said on Tuesday.
O.J. Simpson still owes restitution to the families Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, as decided in a civil trial that found him responsible for their deaths. It is not clear if royalties from the sale of his new book will go toward that payment.
Judith Regan, whose publishing imprint ReganBooks will release Mr. SimpsonтАЩs book Nov. 30, also conducted the television interviews, which will be broadcast on Fox in two one-hour segments on Nov. 27 and Nov. 29. Both ReganBooks and Fox are owned by the News Corporation.
According to a news release, the book and the TV special, which has a working title of тАЬO.J. Simpson: If I Did It, HereтАЩs How It Happened,тАЭ will depict Mr. Simpson describing тАЬhow he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade.тАЭ
Mr. Simpson was acquitted of criminal charges, but a civil court found him responsible for the deaths, and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in restitution to the families. Only a part of the amount has been paid, and relatives of the victims have continued to pursue their claims.
It is not clear how much, if any, of the royalties on the sale of the book will go to the victimsтАЩ families. A Regan representative and a spokeswoman for Fox declined to comment beyond the news release.
The National Enquirer reported in October that a Simpson book was being planned, but that report was dismissed after Yale Galanter, a Florida lawyer said to be representing Mr. Simpson, told The Daily News that it was untrue. Mr. Galanter did not respond to phone calls yesterday seeking comment.
The TV special is being produced by Ms. Regan, who moved to Los Angeles from New York this year. Ms. Regan has previously produced shows for television featuring her authors, including a special with Jenna Jameson, the sex-film star and author of the book тАЬHow to Make Love Like a Porn Star,тАЭ which was also published by ReganBooks.
Fox representatives would not comment on whether it would solicit advertisers for the specials or whether it had concerns about presenting the specials in prime time. In its news release, the network quoted Mike Darnell, executive vice president for alternative programming, who said: тАЬThis is an interview that no one thought would ever happen. ItтАЩs the definitive last chapter in the trial of the century.тАЭ
At least one other network said it had passed on the chance to bid on the TV special because it thought the content was of questionable taste.
Rebecca Marks, a spokeswoman for NBC Universal Television, said the network passed because тАЬfrom an advertising point of view, from a public relations point of view, everything, it was impossible.тАЭ
The TV special will be on Fox during the final week of the November sweeps, the period when local network affiliates measure viewership in order to determine what rates they can charge for advertising.
