    Who are you including in they and what exactly are you claiming they all do?

    (This should be fun.)

    So Sarah Spain drew the short straw at espn.
    Look out for the death threats from Kobe-stans, Sarah.

    Is this buried under the espnW platform? For now I don't see it on espn's main page.

    I think she has a worthwhile read there, but she's speaking out against Michael Vick while he's still alive and I didn't hear much from her when Kobe was being widely celebrated during his retirement tour.

    A writer only has so much bandwidth. If she shouts about everything, she’s Stephen A. Smith. No one respects that.

    What's heartbreaking is that recent photo of Vanessa. She seeing Michael Jackson's surgeon?

    I read something that said when the copter crashed it was flying at a rate of 2,000 feet per minute. I guess that sounds fast.

    It's 22 miles per hour. School zone speed for cars.

    I read they were going 180 knots per hour.

    I'm no physics major, but when you crash into a side of a mountain going 22 mph, does stuff get strewn 200 yards?

    Link? I read it was going 176 mph.

    This timeline shows everything we know — and what we don't — about the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and 7 other people

    Around 9:45 a.m., the helicopter crashed into a hilly area in Thousand Oaks at about 1,700 feet. It had been flying at about 153 knots, or 176 mph, according to FlightRadar24.
