In honor of the 45th anniversary of “Monday Night Football,” ESPN put together a cool gif of all the announcers who have contributed to the show. Dandy Don, Dennis Miller, Dan Dierdorf, even Fred “The Hammer” Williamson—they had ’em all. Except for one: O.J. Simpson.
Where’s OJ? ESPN omits Hall of Famer/convict from slide show of Monday Night Football announcers. http://t.co/7L8juy9XVM

Watch Simpson talk about Walter Payton [3:58 mark] on MNF in 1985, just before the Bears running back broke Simpson’s record for consecutive 100-yard games.
Simpson is currently serving 9 to 33 years in a Las Vegas prison for a 2008 kidnapping and armed robbery conviction. A recent appeal was denied.
