The Buffalo Bills will not honor OJ Simpson at their new stadium, and you can probably figure out why

Despite his turbulent post-football life — which might be the understatement of the century — "the Juice," who died in 2024, was honored at the team's soon-to-be former stadium.

He played for the Bills from 1969 to 1977 before going into announcing, acting, and — allegedly, though he was acquitted in the eyes of the law the first time — other things.

But during that time, he was a superstar and led the league in rushing for four seasons and received all kinds of accolades.

So, it can be kind of tough to decide how to treat his complicated legacy, and at least at their new stadium, the Bills are drawing a very clear line in the sand: no Juice.

Not even a homage to post-jail O.J.? The one with a Twitter account? Who would just ride around in a golf cart, spinning yarns and giving out fantasy football advice?

Of course, that's the smart move. In this day and age, they couldn't unfurl an O.J. banner or bust in their new stadium without having to spend at least a couple of days in full-blown PR crisis mode.

But hey, we all know what he did on the field — and off it — whether the team puts him in their stadium or not.
