Sucks

Kobe Bryant Dead, Dies in Helicopter Crash

 

[TigerVols]

OMFG

I keep hoping it is wrong but TMZ has a pretty good track record

RIP rapist.

My local news station just tweeted that a helicopter did crash in Calabasas, but didn't say who was on board. This doesn't look good at all.

 

[heyabbott]

Reports that his wife was not on board.

I just drove through that canyon this time yesterday and the fog is no joke...thick, dark. Wouldn't be surprised if that played a role.

 

[cyclingwriter2]

I just saw this somewhere else and sort of in shock.

 

[HanSenSE]

Confirmation.

 

[Spartan Squad]

TMZ's website is down.

Holy ****. Can't beloved this

 

[Spartan Squad]

The four letter has nothing. CNN just broke with the crash but no mention of Kobe

 

[Michael_ Gee]

The ABC affiliate in LA is reporting Bryant dead as well.

Woj has it now

 

[TigerVols]

LBJ wore shoes last night on which he hand-wrote, "Mamba for Life"



Weird.

The ESPN family of networks isn't touching this. The local ABC affiliate in LA has confirmed. You'd think that would be good enough to compel them to go live on, say, ESPN News, or to put it on the crawl. Nope.
ESPN: Pro Bowl. Can't bump the NFL. I get that.
ESPN News: UFC Unleashed. I'm not kidding. I mean, it's ESPN News. I know it's not what it used to be, but isn't this the perfect place for such things instead of a promotional program?
ESPNU: Live women's basketball game. Wouldn't expect any live game to be bumped.
ESPN2: The X Games. The ****ing X Games.

You've got two networks you can use for this. Two.
So far, none has put it on a crawl.

If he would have been in jail, he wouldn’t have died in a helicopter crash.

 

[Spartan Squad]

If Woj is reporting it, I'm shocked the four letter isn't breaking programming. Shocking.

Watch CBS Md v Indiana and not a mention
