But still— would think that pilots Rolf helicopters shouldn’t risk it with any kind of iffy weather. All those tour Helicopter crashes In Hawaii also involve a weather issue just about every time. Easy to say but I bet you hop in the car on rainy or even snowy days too. 1

I think George wanted to initially forfeit the game that night or the next night? I think they wound up winning against the Orioles

Philip Rivers helicoptered to the Chargers facility every day since the team moved there. Probably saves 4-5 hours stuck in a car each day. I thought Rivers had a special Cruisemobile built that he used to commute from San Diego? Used the time to watch film

I get that it's a story, but give it a day or two (or week) before launching into what's is essentially "he deserved it" coverage. (Daily Beast and WaPo reporter) The entire coverage today has been terrible. From top to bottom. I think most ive seen bring that up aren’t saying he deserved it, so much as he might not deserve the pedestal its a big world with lots of opinions out there. If you believe him guilty, and especially if you have some sort of history with it, I imagine it’d be particularly hard to bite your tongue. 1

The deserved it comment was the subtext, not overt statements (by media -- online it's a different story where people are saying that, but that's not the real world).

Seriously!! Also ... can you imagine being a 17 or 18-year-old high school basketball player, playing against him?? My heart hurts over this. He was a gifted athlete and, from what I could always tell, a top-notch human being. RIP. 2

Sad thing nowadays, is if you make a mistake, even if you completely turn your life around, there will be people that will forever hold you accountable for past mistakes and can never forgive. Pretty sad way to live 2 3
