Was Kobe one of the anthem kneelers?

I haven't paid attention to pro basketball since the days of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. Since then, it seems like basketball is nothing but 8 foot players slam dunking all the time which is boring to me.

Actually, I've moved away from pro sports in general. As I get older, it gets more meaningless to me. I don't even plan to watch the Super Bowl next week. Just give me a good book to read and a glass of wine.

Still, I hate to see anybody die in a helicopter crash, be it a basketball star, an office worker or the guy who's supposed to come over to fix my garage door later this week.

I don't even like helicopters. They seem dangerous to me. I rode one when I was in the Marines and didn't like it one bit.

No, but he said he would if he was still playing. Screw him. He disrespects the country that gave him his celebrity life, so I don’t mind returning the favor.

Man do you rock ! My sports viewership has plummeted by 90% in the last 20 years. I can’t remember the last time I watched a World Series game, a Superbowl, or a Stanley Cup playoff. My father used to complain about players’ salaries.
I told him,”Turn your TV off.”
