TMZ reporting the passing of Kobe Bryant

[XLIX]

Sheriff also ripped TMZ speculating who was on board.

Regardless, 9 people dying in a helicopter crash is horrible.

I haven't been following the different media outlets closely, but I have to say that not only did TMZ break the news by a good half hour (which is an eternity in today's media) but I haven't seen them get one report wrong. Now maybe they did and they took it down and I missed it, but AFAIK it wasn't TMZ saying all 4 of Kobe's children were on board.

Ehhh...it sounded like she was distracted. She clearly said the N word but it was a weird hesitation and I can’t say with any certainty she said it on purpose, and I think it’s a huge stretch to say she subconsciously was thinking about it or uses it normally without knowing about her. Despite being on TV, she’s a real person and might be 100% not racist and not sure a 2-second moment like this should ruin her life and career. I think the network should hire an independent firm to investigate the situation.

Just my opinion. I’m sure people will disagree.

Man I just don't know how you say a hard R n-word by accident unless you're thinking or saying it regularly.

How do you even make that mistake?!? The words are even't remotely similar.

Press conference just announced 9 on board, including pilot. Sheriff believes all 9 perished.

Oh God. Please, no more children.

I wonder how Kobe bryant ‘s parents feel. They never made peace with their son.‍

Suddenly the Pats losing a playoff game. Or who you want to win a SB doesn't matter much anymore. What a crushing blow.

Yeah. For the first time all I care about is the "off topic" thread on this board. Not going to be able to bring myself to care about how bad we apparently are at drafting for a while.

If you are a celebrity and can afford a chopper stay away from S-76.

As I understand it, avoid helicopters generally.

There’s a video circulating on YouTube of the crash and it looks legit. Unreal.

Assuming (and I know what that means) it’s the one I saw, looks like a completely different locale than the news feeds that we know to be the crash site.

The one I saw literally looks like someone crashed in the Grand Canyon....

Man I’m still in shock. I think for me personally the shock comes from this sub conscious thing where Kobe almost has this invincibility aurora around him. And for this to happen to him at 41, is just bewildering man

Can you give me something to look it up?

Now it’s 9 people unreal. One of the worse days in sports history.

Her explanation makes sense and I believe her. Christ I've have had it with people who constantly have their "you offended" antennas up.

I’m just really annoyed that this is all people want to discuss in here right now.

If social media didn’t exist, it would’ve been swept under the rug. However, she didn’t say “Nakers”.

No new information has come out regarding Kobe so this is what is being we’re talking about in the meantime.

It’s typically the way of the world these days. Event happens, then ancillary, yet largely unrelated sub-event takes place through a unpopular in certain circles organization....Tribes form their sides.

If she used the N word, get gonged.

If she can’t keep Knicks and Lakers straight, she shouldn’t be commenting on breaking sports news.

Kobe, Gone Too Young, Too Soon. RIP.

 

[Soliel]

Very sad. WTF?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Played it for Mrs RW and she heard, "Nickers". I dunno know. I heard different.

Maybe it's one of those "Blue dress" vs "Gold dress" things...
