But then again, we already knew that.

Still, I wonder, has anyone found any gloves in the room?

O.J. Simpson says he only went into a casino hotel room to retrieve memorabilia that he felt was stolen from him. But police are investigating it as an armed robbery and named the fallen football star as a suspect Friday in yet another surprising chapter to his legal saga.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Simpson insisted there were no guns involved and he only went to the room at the Palace Station casino to retrieve stolen mementos that included his Hall of Fame certificate and a picture of the running back with J. Edgar Hoover.

"It's stolen stuff that's mine. Nobody was roughed up," Simpson told the AP.

Las Vegas Metro Police Capt. James Dillon said the confrontation was reported as an armed robbery involving guns. But he said no weapons had been recovered and stressed that the investigation was in its "infancy."

One has to wonder whether this was a set-up to obscure the release of his book by the Goldman family. After all, the timing is highly coincidental.

And I wonder who he will get to defend him in the resulting criminal and civil trials, now that Johnny Cockroach is dead.
