Bills superfan defends OJ Simpson's football legacy after team leaves Juice off its Wall of Fame

The Buffalo Bills can attempt to scrub O.J.

Simpson from their history, but members of Bills Mafia say they'll never forget what 'Juice' meant to the franchise.

At the new Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, Simpson, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was left off the team's new Wall of Fame, which honors the greatest players in team history.

Sure, there was the messy double-murder trial in which O.J. was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife Nicole and Ron Goldman, but Bills fans argue the Wall of Fame should be based on accomplishments on the field, not drama off it.

"His personal life is his personal life," Bills Mafia member Corey Teed told OutKick.

"You put all that aside and you just make it about football, O.J.

Simpson is the reason we started [putting] names on the wall.

If you go back far enough in Bills history and you look, you put all the legal stuff aside, the wife murdered, all that, and you look at football alone, and his stats, as a running back, he was the reason we started putting names on the wall."

Simpson was, in fact, the first member of the franchise to be inducted and remained the only member from 1980 until 1984 when Jack Kemp became the second inductee.

"When I came here in my rookie year, I was nervous, didn't have any friends and we weren't winning many games," O.J. said during the induction ceremony in 1980.

"But it let me understand that in Buffalo, appreciation comes with respect.

It's something you earn.

"They were the most valuable years of my life.

I'll remember those accomplishments as I live the rest of my life and raise my kids." CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE.
