Boatdrinks Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 An awful tragedy and seems it just got worse. Very sad all the way around. Terrible look by CNN ( reportedly) mentioning his transgression. Definitely not the time and Kobe Bryant did a lot more good than bad in life. Nobody’s perfect and he was well respected .

They reported it on espn. Did I hear it right? I pray I didn’t. They're saying on NBC 'survived by wife and 4 daughters" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll remember, in part because I heard in a text from my son while actually doing something with family that was very memorable in it’s own right. I remember hearing the news about Magic being HIV positive on the car radio on the way back from a work golf tournament outside Columbia, SC right after hurricane Hugo. The course had lost almost every tree, and they were piled up in areas like mountains. It was downright spooky! I remember very specific details about that entire day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were a multi-millionaire in LA you'd do the same. Philip Rivers helicoptered to the Chargers facility every day since the team moved there. Probably saves 4-5 hours stuck in a car each day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, those things tend to stick. I remember the Payne Stewart tragedy very well -- and I hate golf! I was glued to the news as the macabre details emerged -- most notably an airplane on autopilot carrying a bunch of lifeless bodies. Given who Kobe was -- and the timing with Lebron -- this will be 1). legendary and 2). fodder for conspiracy theorists. My wife cried. My wife's family 12 time zones away cried. I know I'll never forget today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
