Adley Rutchman on TMZ!!!

[Aristotelian]

No, he did not get in a bar fight or leak pictures from his phone. He was caught arriving at DCA and answered some generic questions about his future with the O's. Possibly the tamest TMZ video of all time.

TMZ really digging to the bottom of the barrel on "celebrity". Hopefully this will be his first and last appearance on their site.

Ah, yes, TMZ.  They who reported about Kobe even before the authorities had a chance to inform his family of his death.

I'm fine with that.

Authorities should have told the families before letting someone leak the information to TMZ.

Not to mention... their source was most likely the authorities themselves anyway.

Levin said TMZ had confirmed the news with Bryant’s camp Sunday after he was tipped off to the 9:47 a.m. crash by a longtime law enforcement source.

Of course it was them.  But not someone who should have said anything until verified.  A leaker.

Levin told KNX In-Depth that it was a fair point that the other victims’ families might not have been notified yet, but seemed to think the Bryant news outweighed those concerns.

In other words, "We don't care about those other shlubs.  Only Kobe."

This still is disrespectful to the other people on board who found out about the crash on the news.  I'm sure that is how any person would want to be notified if a loved one is killed.

Sure but I don't blame the scorpion for stinging the crocodile.

I'm not saying that it's not messed up... but I am saying people should think a little harder about where to direct their anger.

Just because the leak was unauthorized doesn't mean that law enforcement isn't culpable here.

No anger here.  Just empathy.

The world would be a better place if someone would fix the faucets.

I think we’re all ready for spring training to start, I was just worried for a second that Adley got into some Josh Hamilton type trouble.

Yeah.  One would think that considering it was TMZ that interviewed him.
