    Blaine Gabbert: more to life than the Games

    https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...-crash-victims

    Props to you, Blaine. Helped out some people who had hit the water after a helicopter crash. Now, I can root for this guy.

    Always seem to be crashes. Had one in NC last month that killed a news person and a pilot. In this one, amazing people survives the copter hitting the water. The pilot must have had some control of the copter at least.

    Gabbert must be a good guy to last in the league as long as he has. Look at Bortles. He was probably a better QB (both were overall first round busts) but Bortles was basically kicked out of the league a few years ago. I mean, couldn't Tenn use a QB like Bortles.

    a plane can glide with no propeller or engine however a helicopter without the blades is going straight down.

    Yup, and I don't like that one pilot can cause a crash (see Kobe Bryant case). A least most planes have two pilots.

    Polo, I heard the same thing about airplanes. Balance is important.

    I heard that seating all the passengers on one side of a plane would be enough to cause problems.

    The owner of Leicester City (a billionaire) died in a helicopter accident. Kobe Bryant. In Scarface, Omar Suarez had a rough helicopter incident.

    Stevie Ray Vaughan in 1990 also.

    the world was robbed of one of the greats, by a phukken copter and a pilot flying after a concert in foggy conditions and going right into a hill, just like kobe's pilot did.

    You're gonna think I'm insane. I was given tickets to that concert. Alpine Valley in WI.

    Somewhere after I moved, lost the ticket. Yes, here today, gone tomorrow.
