Is Fred Goldman a Money Hungry Hypocrite?

Denise Brown, sister of slain victim Nicole Brown, says he is.

She accuses Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, and other family members of hypocrisy for plans to publish a book that he had formerly called "disgusting and despicable." Brown said she was "shocked and horrified" to learn that a literary agent for the Goldman family had reached a deal to publish the controversial O.J. Simpson book "If I Did It" about the slaying of Simpson's ex-wife and her friend Ronald Goldman. As such, Brown is calling for a boycott of the book.

But hold on, there's a twist:

David Cook, an attorney for Fred Goldman, called Brown inconsistent for denouncing the publishing plan after lawyers for her and her family sought a share of possible profits from the book for themselves!

So is sister Brown just angry that she isn't getting a piece of the publishing pie? And do you think O.J. is getting anything from this book? Or is he just laughing?

No Game Winnings for O.J.

Relatives Of Murder Victim Ron Goldman Score Court Win

Today, the Goldman family won a court order seizing any money O.J. Simpson earns for lending his name and likeness to a football video game called All-Pro Football 2K8, which includes a fictional team called the Assassins and a knife-wielding mascot.

Why would O.J. lend his name and face to a team called "Assassins" with a knife-wielding mascot?

Is he winking at us in some macabre kind of way, or does he just not give a damn?

The Video-game publisher, Take-Two Interactive, (TTWO - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating) which has come under fire in the past for offensive content in its games, is now testing the taste barrier with All-Pro Football 2K8.

(A video clip on the Game Trailers Web site shows Simpson, after he scores a touchdown prompting a large hooded mascot (above) above the scoreboard to make stabbing motions with a large knife.)

The legal victory was part of an effort by Goldman's estate to satisfy a $33.5 million judgment won against Simpson in a wrongful death suit brought against him in the 1994 stabbing deaths of Goldman and Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson.

Take-Two declined to reveal how much it has paid Simpson for the right to use his likeness in the game. But a video-game industry source estimates Take-Two could have paid Simpson anywhere between $50,000 and $125,000.
