The Washingon City Paper picked up on an interesting and tragically hilarious side note at the Sean Taylor funeral in Miami today. That is, that O.J. Simpson was in attendance.

Unusual guests at Sean Taylor’s funeral included Jesse Jackson and…O.J. From the Washington Post’s reporting today:

“Also attending was O.J. Simpson, the Hall of Fame running back who faces trial in Las Vegas on charges of armed robbery and kidnapping after a September incident involving two sports memorabilia dealers. Simpson told other attendees that he had encouraged his own alma mater, the University of Southern California, to recruit Taylor.”

Offer up jokes in the comments section.

Seriously, I thought it was strange how Jesse Jackson was there and speaking at the funeral, but he and Al Sharpton tend to show up at any major African-American event so it isn’t really much of a surprise, but who the hell let O.J. in? You would think by now people would be using security down there.
