VEGAS, NV - MAY 17: O.J. Simpson (R) stands at the end of an evidentiary hearing in Clark County District Court on May 17, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Simpson, who is currently serving a nine-to-33-year sentence in state prison as a result of his October 2008 conviction for armed robbery and kidnapping charges, is using a writ of habeas corpus to seek a new trial, claiming he had such bad representation that his conviction should be reversed.

O.J. Simpson meets the Kansas City Chiefs once again at his parole hearing.

Rarely are troll jobs more spectacular than this. Disgraced former NFL star O.J. Simpson was in a Carson City, Nevada courthouse on Thursday. The purpose was a parole hearing to determine if O.J. is suitable to reenter our society.

In September of 2007 Simpson entered a Las Vegas hotel room robbing a group of men of sports memorabilia. He was arrested, tried, convicted. He was given 33 years with the possibility of parole after nine.

So that’s how we got here today. O.J. Simpson in court has always garnered tremendous media coverage. At least one participant in the Simpson parole decision used that to his advantage.

Of course, this sparked a lively debate within the FanSided team about the conflict of interest ramifications of wearing an NFL tie of a rival team. Any other day a sports team themed tie wouldn’t be an issue, but in the case of an NFL all-time great, it raises eyebrows.

Did he think about it? Was it planned in an effort to troll? Or was this just a happy coincidence that turned into one of the greatest unintentional troll jobs of all time.

Simpson’s nine-year NFL career included seven seasons with the Buffalo Bills and two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.

He faced the Chiefs five times in his career. Simpsons’ squads won two of those matchups. O.J. rushed for five touchdowns and average 91.6 yards per contest.

Simpson’s called Lovelock Correctional Center in rural Nevada home since his ’08 conviction
