O.J. Simpson said Thursday that he was merely speaking hypothetically–“as part of a scenario of things”–when he told Esquire magazine that, if he had killed his former wife, he would have done it “because I loved her very much.”

The football legend, in a live broadcast interview, also told ESPN that the quote has been taken out of context. “. . . They took this one thing out of the middle of there and made it as if it was an independent statement,” Simpson said.

In an ESPN session featuring vigorous exchanges between Simpson and host Chris Myers, Simpson denied he had made what many construed as an oblique confession in his interview with Esquire magazine.
