OJ Simpson mug shot tattoo

Goodness gracious, this photo has just about everything that we love here at LBS. We’ve got O.J. Simpson, a tattoo, and a mug shot. That’s like hitting the LBS jackpot.

According to Sports Kings, diehard Buffalo Bills fan Bryan Labarron spent nine hours getting tattooed with this amazing image. In case you’re unfamiliar, this mug shot was the one taken on June 17, 1994, after Simpson was implicated in the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

Below is a side-by-side comparison of the tattoo and actual mug shot:

There may not be many viewers who are looking forward to a matchup between the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills on Thursday night, but Reggie Bush gave the game a spark on Tuesday without even realizing it. Say what you will about us, but don’t insult our women.

During an appearance on the “Paul and Young Ron Show” in Miami, one of the hosts reminded Bush of how cold it will be on Thursday night but said the fans are so used to it that women will be out there topless in that weather. The other host sarcastically said to Reggie that he wouldn’t want to see that, and the Dolphins running back agreed.

“Not Buffalo women,” Bush said.

Shots fired! Tom Brady once insulted the hotels in Buffalo and that resulted in this billboard going up to protest his next visit. Does that mean we’re going to see a billboard telling the women of Buffalo to stay away from Bush or escort services to turn down his business should be get a little lonely? We shall see.

The Bills snapped a 15-game losing streak to the Patriots Sunday with a 34-31 win at home. Simply overcoming a 21-0 deficit makes the win special, but finally beating the Patriots made it spectacular. Buffalo had been thoroughly dominated by the Pats for years. New England had won 20 of their last 21 meetings with the Bills, so the victory had to feel like winning the Super Bowl for many fans.

Chris Kelsay, who is the only Bills player on the roster who was with the team the last time they had beaten the Patriots (in 2003), called it the biggest win of his career. Running back Fred Jackson ran around the field waving a Bills flag after the win, and the goal posts had to be lowered to keep fans from pulling them down. It was like a college atmosphere in Buffalo.

After the win, Bills players raved on Twitter about the amazing energy from the fans.

The word “fan” is short for a word we often forget — fanatic. That term is more appropriate for the people who vandalized Leodis McKelvin’s lawn following the Bills’ loss on Monday night to the Patriots. Yes McKelvin made a HUGE error when he fumbled the kickoff following a Tom Brady to Ben Watson touchdown pass late in the game that made the score 24-19, but did he single-handedly lose the game for the team? Of course not. Even if he did, that in no way merits what some Bills fans did to his home:

Police were investigating the vandalism at McKelvin’s home in the upscale Briercliff Estates subdivision off Amsdell Road but declined to say anything more about the incident.

The vandalism apparently consisted of the score — 25-24 — and a graphic depiction of the male anatomy scrawled in white paint on McKelvin’s front lawn.

Yeah, real class there, Buffalo. I can’t even begin to say how inappropriate that behavior is. What did these guys have six figures on the game? Do they think McKelvin was intentionally trying to lose the game? OK, bad question — we all know he was just playing the game according to Goodell’s script. But I don’t care what an athlete does wrong, this is crossing a line that should never be crossed — into someone’s personal life.
