    Sucks that Bryant and his daughter died but this was just as bad.   

    Just as bad.

    So terrible.

     

    Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelli was among those who died in the crash, the college confirmed. As a mentor and coach for 27 years, he helped students earn scholarships to play at four-year colleges and treated players like family, the statement said.

    “Coach Altobelli was a giant on our campus — a beloved teacher, coach, colleague and friend. This is a tremendous loss for our campus community,” OCC President Angelica Suarez said in a statement.

    Altobelli’s wife, Keri Altobelli, and his 13-year-old daughter, Alyssa, who played on the club team with Bryant’s daughter, were also among the victims, according to his family.

    My college baseball coach Mike Gardner coached him when he was an assistant at UH. I was told he wanted to puke when he got the news today. Small world.

    An old friend's dad was a navy pilot, later flew for a major carrier, and somehow found time to practice aviation law which involved him in many high profile crash cases.

    The one piece of advice from him that sticks with me: never fly in a helicopter.

    Stevie Ray Vaughn's death was all the convincing I needed.

    A million moving pieces, constantly trying to rip itself apart. Don't get in a helicopter unless your life depends on it.

  3. Make sure you have a hell of an insurance plan. 

    I tore my labrum at Galveston JR College 20 years ago and tried slowpitch 5 years ago. Looked like smalls in left field trying to hit the relay to our SS 20 yards past the outside cut of the infield. 

  4. I have WInston

    Jameis at home against Houston 

    or 

    Matt Ryan at home against Jax

    I have Winston, Brees and Ryan.

    Keep an eye on the weather. Both Brees and Winston are facing rain. I'm in the ship trying to decide what to do.
