No. No. No. if you can’t accept that answer, you may be a rapist

 

It reads better than 30mph.

 

It’s a tabloid. They sensationalize. No one really knows how fast that is, so it sounds really fast unless you think about it.

This is true but even as a longtime sportswriter I’ve never shed a tear over an athlete’s death. It’s sad and the like when figures we like pass away, but I don’t know these people that well. They’re not family or friends.

Get some perspective, people

TMZ's Harvey Levin defends site breaking the news of Kobe Bryant's death: Vanessa 'had been notified'

also says he got the tip from law enforcement

 

I don't think TMZ needs to explain or justify breaking this story to anyone.

 

But it's not just athletes. Open many threads of this site and see the outpouring of grief for musicians, singers and actors who have died.
