VIDEO: Booger McFarland Mentions OJ Simpson on List of NFL Greats in Ridiculous Gaffe
By Mark Powell
We love us some Booger McFarland, and the Monday Night Football commentator seems to make controversial statements on a weekly basis. Week 15 was no exception, as Booger listed off some NFL greats after Drew Brees passed Peyton Manning on the all-time passing touchdowns list. McFarland stated some obvious names, including Tom Brady, Jim Brown, Jerry Rice and OJ SIMPSON.
"I'm not gonna say he's the greatest player... I heard about the guys; Jim Brown, OJ SIMPSON and Jerry Rice.... I do think Tom Brady's the greatest quarterback this game has ever seen" -Booger pic.twitter.com/lKlU0vVmKT

Lets' leave OJ out of this, how bout?
Simpson was an NFL great in his prime, but his controversial (being polite) post-playing career, which included a murder investigation and trial, makes listing his name taboo in this case.
We're not trying to be mean, but Booger, please check yourself every now and then.
