Chiefs' Player Jevon Belcher involved in murder-suicide, shoots self at Arrowhead

[MoreLemonPledge]

No details yet. Just came across on the news.

edit: Sources say the player is Jovan Belcher. Police have yet to confirm.

An unnamed Kansas City Chiefs player has committed suicide at the team facility and authorities are on the scene, the police confirmed to ESPN on Saturday morning.

Local reports say police are operating with the belief the player fatally shot his girlfriend at a house before driving to Arrowhead Stadium and killing himself at around 8 a.m local time. The Associated Press reported the player's age to be 25.

"We can confirm that there was an incident at Arrowhead earlier this morning," the Chiefs said in a statement. "We are cooperating with authorities in their investigation."

There were no other injuries at the team facility, police said.

The Chiefs (1-10) were preparing to host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

The NFL has told the Panthers to travel as planned to Kansas City on Saturday, the Charlotte Observer has reported, citing interim general manager Brandon Beane.

It'll shut pussies like you the **** up.

It was you that left the board because your vagina was sore. I don't know that you're that well placed to go calling other posters "pussies".

When you've been a Chief fan since 1973 and it has literally consumed you things like this take it's toll.

I consider myself an emotional person, and I haven't come remotely close to choking up.

I was a player I'd want to play. It would give something to focus on besides just the tragedy and then there is a week to deal with it.

You're completely and utterly clueless as to why I a took an 18 month sabbatical from this forum.

But if you'd like to tell everyone why I left, be my guest. And be sure to share the emails with the owner of this site.

Thanks.

In all seriousness, you need to seek help.

There are at least 20 issues that would have to be considered before such a move, especially considering the move would be made because of a murderer.

Lost viewership for ESPN? If the game was moved to Monday night, it would be aired only in the KC and Charlotte markets on the local FOX affiliates. The rest of the country would be completely unaffected. I can't imagine that's going to wreck a Giants/Skins game.

Sure the advertisers for the primetime programming in those markets would lose out, but that's no different than when you have wall-to-wall weather coverage or breaking news or a variety of things that happen more frequently than you think. Like I said, it's not ideal, but it's not the end of the world.

Rage checkers....ftw.

Man, the fact that emails between you and the owner even exist and the fact that you needed a sabbatical demonstrates that you take this internet stuff far too seriously, and that you really aren't in a position to tell anyone else that they're getting "wound up".

**** knows what was in the emails. The suggestion was that you got upset because you weren't being respected enough, or something equally hilarious and pathetic. It seems entirely plausible, given how sensitive you are to even a hint of disagreement.

You can post the emails yourself, but you won't, because they'd demonstrate you to be a little girl.

It doesn't matter what you think. Just as with the Minnesota game a few years back, the game was moved to Tuesday. ESPN has contractual rights.

Acts Of God (weather) are far different than a pre-planned move because of murder.

You're either not aware of all of the ramifications or you're not thinking this through to its conclusion.

You're completely ****ing clueless about the situation, so go ahead and continue to talk out of your stupid fat ass.

No one cares, least of all, me.

If they wanted to postpone it they could have moved the game to Thursday January 3rd.

Of course this all comes down to what kind of precedent the league wants to set..

Says the guy that's bringing up something that happened almost two years ago and is totally unrelated to the topic at hand.



JFC, you're a raging ****bag.
