Hertz made advertising history with O.J. Simpson's airport runs (Shutdown Corner)

This offseason, Shutdown Corner will travel down memory lane with a series of stories presenting some interesting and sometimes forgotten stories from the NFL's past. Join us as we relive some of the greatest and craziest moments in the sport's history.

In a 1977 Rolling Stone cover story, O.J. Simpson is referred to in the second paragraph as “the sexy black guy in the three-piece suit who runs through airports in those Hertz rent-a-car ads.”

The first reference to the Buffalo Bills, the NFL team he had played for over the previous eight seasons, comes in the 59th paragraph.
