RIP Kobe Bryant

Perhaps 2,000 feet per minute was the vertical speed, or drop rate. The horizontal or flight speed was more than 150 mph.

 

Those lucky Columbia astronauts. They're living and having the time of their lives in the year 3428.

yup, that's a link, all right. Where does it say what you claimed?

EDIT: nevermind...my bad

BTW, why would stories carry such figures as 2000 feet per minute? No one talks in such figures.

 

But ESPN wants them to shout about everything.
From Spain to SAS to Bryant and on down the list.

I've not seen any remembrance of any of the 'secondary' victims other than the baseball coach.

Two other kids are dead. It might have been nice for arenas to throw their names on the jumbotron last night as well, or for their names to appear on chryons.

 

fwiw, the coach, mom and daughter have a go fund me that has raised $100k

Folks, if you die, die in Orange County.

 

The specifics in the accuser's account reads with credibility. Stack it up against Bryant's interview and the contrast is stark. My occupation tells me who was telling the truth.

 

The outpouring of grief is a reminder of how much collective energy we as a society put into sports and sports athletes. Is it worth it? If you diverted funds from building a public arena/stadium you could solve a homeless problem in a major metropolitan area overnight. You could have free higher education. We don't need to have athletes making billions of $$; America's priorities are out of whack.

 

or took a few liberties with our female party guests.

 

Let’s try this again. Is your claim that all pro athletes are rapists? Are you just talking about black athletes? Is it all black men?
