FILE - In this March 24, 1978, file photo, a jubilant O.J. Simpson met the press in San Francisco where the 49ers announced that Simpson had been traded to them from the Buffalo Bills. O.J. said he was ecstatic about the opportunity to play in the city where he was born. At right is San Francisco 49ers owner, Edward DeBartolo Jr. O.J. Simpson's release from a Nevada prison turns another page in one of the most dramatic falls from grace in American pop culture history. A beloved college and pro football hero in the 1960s and '70s, Simpson went on to become a movie star, sports commentator and TV pitchman in the years before the 1994 killings of his ex-wife and her friend in Los Angeles.
