Deadspin
The Associated Press (via SportsbyBrooks) got the advance scoop on a book to be released Monday by Mike Gilbert, a memorabilia dealer who profited off O.J. Simpson for years, claiming Simpson admitted to killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, after he was acquitted for her murder.
He said Simpson had smoked pot, took a sleeping pill and was drinking beer when he confided at his Brentwood home weeks after his trial what happened the night of June 12, 1994. Simpson said he went to his ex-wife's condominium, but did not bring a knife with him. Simpson told him Nicole Brown Simpson had one in her hand when she opened the door.In a soft mumble, Simpson told him: "If she hadn't opened that door with a knife in her hand ... she'd still be alive."
Hey, AP: I've got a scoop! Didn't O.J. essentially lay out the tactics to how he killed his ex-wife (if, you know, only he had done it) in that book last year? Seems about as reputable as the testimony of a shady guy that profited off O.J. and heard a confession while O.J. was intoxicated on three different substances.
Gilbert is the second sports memorabilia dealer to write a Simpson book this year. Thomas Riccio, who arranged a Las Vegas memorabilia sale that led to Simpson's armed robbery arrest, penned "Busted" last month.Former Gilbert partner Bruce Fromong, who was involved in the Vegas incident, said Gilbert is known for spinning tall tales.
"Mike makes up a lot of great stories," said Fromong. "Mike Gilbert has a ton of skeletons in his closet. He's as dirty as anyone."
Gravy. Put me down for a couple dozen copies of the $28 hardcover.

Gravity called, and would like to know how those things are doing what they're doing.
Are you trying to tell me that O.J. has been lying about "finding the real killers" all along?!? If we can't trust The Juice, who can we trust?
I was going to keep my murdering a secret but then I got high
I once confessed to liking the Grateful Deal while high. It all comes out in the wash when on the weed.
that would be Grateful Dead. Sorry, I'm high.
OJ better get some extra larges, as so the glove does fit this time.
what Gilbert didn't tell us... OJ was willing to say anything to get Mike Gilbert to give up his death grip on the Doritos bag
Simpson also confessed to wearing really dangly chains while high.
O.J. just stubbed out his cigar in her eye.
@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: la da da da da da
O.J. might want to call up Robert Shapiro and see if LegalZoom can do anything for him here.
oh, and: murdering sonofabitch, motoroboat!
boobs
Run, you stupid fucking white woman, run!
Cold-blooded killer, yes.
Have you ever listened to O.J. confess to murder...on weed?
@Disgruntled Goat: It's a trip man.
All I have to add is: why is the related story "Dolphins Take Jake Long First Overall"? Does Nibbles know something the rest of us don't? Has he become omniscient?
I smoked fake pot with O.J. Simpson once. That was cool...almost as cool as smoking real pot with a guy who looked like O.J. Simpson.

@TattooedMess(iah): Word out of training camp is that he's incredibly confused about the proper execution of a "cut block."
Fuckin gas station attendant wanted to know why my credit card said NICOLE SIMPSON on it. What an asshole.
@RachelRayIsTheDevil: I'll see you in Hell, RRITD.
That cigar looks awfully moist.
Oddly enough, if OJ had smoked pot, took a sleeping pill and drank beer with Mr. Gilbert in 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson might still be ....
Nah. He would have just done it some other day.
@Magnakai Haaskivi: I've done that way more

I confessed to a threesome with two dudes once when I was drunk.
It wasn't true, but now no one believes me because I'm sober. Go figure, huh?
Sidenote: I'm a girl. Just to clarify.
At first, seeing this in the AP, I thought it were true. But now that it is appearing in a blog... who knows!
As long as you're a girl, any combination of boys and girls that adds up to "three" is not only acceptable, it's applauded.
