The family of OJ Simpson said that Simpson 76 passed away. Simpson had been in hospice battling cancer “On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer” Simpson family said in a statement on X “He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren.”
Pro Football president of the NFL Hall of Fame Jim Porter said of Simpson, “O.J. Simpson was the first player to reach a rushing mark many thought could not be attained in a 14-game season when he topped 2,000 yards,” Jim Porter said “His on-field contributions will be preserved in the Hall’s archives in Canton, Ohio.”
Simpson’s football career was over shadowed by being accused of being a double murderer of his wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman. It was the police car chase during a televised NBA Finals in June of 1994 that put the Finals as the backdrop as the car chase of OJ who held a gun to his head while his friend Al Cowlings was driving him down a Los Angeles freeway in the famous white Ford Bronco.

LAS VEGAS–Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is hearing it from social media and insiders in the Raiders organization over his use of PEDs and how he let the whole team down. Garoppolo who received a two game ban for violating the NFL’s enhancing substances league policy. The suspension was meted out on Friday night.
Garoppolo used a prescription medication without permission and exemption from the NFL. Sources say Garoppolo will not appeal the suspension and will be suspended for the first two regular season games next season. Garoppolo will be allowed to participate in pre season games in August but once the regular season begins he will not be allowed near any NFL team training facilities until the second game of the season is completed.
According to the source Garoppolo will be released by the Raiders in mid March which happens to be the fifth day of the new league year. Garoppolo could have earned $11.5 million in roster bonus money for the 2024 but that will most likely be voided because of the PEDs suspension. Garoppolo signed a $72.75 million three year deal $33.75 of it was guaranteed in March. Garoppolo signed with the Raiders when former head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler were running the team.
Now that the Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce and general manager Tom Telesco are running the team that does not give them any obligation to keep Garoppolo and the Raiders most likely will be looking for another quarterback draftee.

On the Super Bowl LVIII/San Francisco 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes:
#1 Joe, how much of an impact will the hard surface of the UNLV practice field be on the San Francisco 49ers? Head coach Kyle Shanahan feels it won’t have an impact and that it’s all good.
#2 If this was the test this is the big exam and for 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will he get the time he needs to get the ball away against a rather quick Kansas City Chiefs pass rush?
#3 Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that it’s Thursday and the game is in sight and he wants to get through with practice as the Super Bowl is just days away.
#4 Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said that this being their third Super Bowl in five years and Kelce said three is a big number in terms of dynasties and said he was hopeful the Chiefs can get this thing.
#5 So last and final question for you to complete your assortment of questions for the 2023-24 season and Super Bowl LVIII what’s your prediction for Sunday at Allegiant Stadium with these two evenly matched teams?
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan speaks with the media on Mon Feb 5, 2024 said the field the 49ers are practicing on at UNLV in Las Vegas is just fine and they’ll get through it up until game day at the Super Bowl this Sun Feb 11, 2024
On the 49ers podcast with David:
#1 David, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said using the UNLV field to practice on was no problem and it was all good. The issues reported were that the field was rough, it was not terribly torn up but for an NFL team to practice on a semi chewed up field could that impact their game as they will practice on that field all week leading up to the Super Bowl.
#2 Meanwhile the Kansas City Chiefs are using the Las Vegas Raiders practice facility. The 49ers were welcome to use the practice facility but declined and elected to use UNLV’s. Do you see that this could be an advantage for the Chiefs using a NFL facility going into the Super Bowl.
#3 Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes father Patrick Mahomes Sr was arrested for DUI he did bail out but there was a lot of publicity over the arrest and Mahomes was asked about it during media day at the Super Bowl saying that it’s an internal family issue that he’ll deal with it privately. Could this turn out to be a distraction for the Chiefs and Mahomes?

On the Super Bowl LVIII podcast with Tony:
#1 Patrick Mahomes Sr DUI arrest will it have an impact on Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes Jr and it will it be a distraction for Mahomes Jr?
#2 San Francisco 49ers declined to share a practice same facility as the Kansas City Chiefs at the Las Vegas Raiders practice field and selected to play at the UNLV field and it was not a smooth field and chipped up after the Runnin Rebels season but head coach Kyle Shanahan said it was all good.
#3 The San Francisco 49ers combining the leads against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Division game and against the Detroit Lions in the Championship game was 27:30. That was time mostly trying to get back into their games.
#4 Does coming back like that for the 49ers make them a good team or a team that if studied well enough can have weaknesses and teams like Green Bay and Detroit can capitalize on?
#5 Tony who do you see having the better advantage in the Super Bowl playing at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas the 49ers who are just 1.5 half from San Francisco or the Kansas City Chiefs who are the AFC team playing in their AFC rivals the Raiders stadium?
#6 Tony, what was the Chiefs biggest strength this season was it their offense and Patrick Mahomes who towards the end of the season got aggressive and won key games particularly after losing to the the Raiders in their last meeting of the season.
#7 Tony, would you agree it was 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy who was the key guy for those come backs against Green Bay driving down field in six of seven plays and against the Detroit Lions taking advantage of Lions head coach Dan Campbell’s mistake in calling for a play rather than kicking a field goal on fourth down. Only for the 49ers to have good position and come back and score?
