Uh, guess notStrong possibility this is fake.
All of them should be embarrassed but you know they aren't.
The way the media reported this today was deplorable.
When it was first reported, it went to dead link. And as you saw with the rest, it was just like rats scurrying over each other to be first.Uh, guess not
Him, his wife, and their daughter all were on board today
Altobelli also left behind a son who is a Red Sox scout and another young daughterAltobelli’s brother, Tony, got a text message that Bryant died in a helicopter crash. So he texted Orange Coast College women’s basketball coach Sammy Doucette who had been with Kobe Bryant’s Mamba Sports Academy before going to OCC. “She said it might be true,” Altobelli said.
“Then her next question was, ‘Have you heard from your brother?’ and I was confused. She explained he goes on chopper rides with Kobe.”
Altobelli was unsuccessful trying to contact Pirates baseball coaches until he reached assistant coach Tim Matz. “He could barely get a word in,” Altobelli said. “He just said, ‘They’re gone.’”

None of us know any of these people, but, man, my chest caved reading those words as you instantly become the brother, Tony. To go from losing a friend [Kobe] to finding out that your brother might've been with him and then getting confirmation of the worst-case scenario.
