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.

99% of people caught by police for a DUI are not taken into custody. Quit talking out of your ass. Always making something out of nothing.

Instead, they watched as we drove across the street and rented a motel room.

See, not all cops are assholes.

They were cutting him a break because they realize it is a stupid ass backward law. Sleeping it off is the right thing to do. Arresting people who show enough common sense to sleep it off sends the wrong message that you might as well "try" to drive home intoxicated since you face the same potential punishment.

These guys are freakin football players trained to play in freezing cold and snow. 50 is balmy compared to what they play in at times.

I'm a ****ing professional football player, so I removed the furnace from my house.

Don't be obtuse.

Why do you think all of these pro athletes/wrestlers commit suicide? They're always drugged up..boozed up...depressed out of their god damned minds with all of the downers and pill poppin they do, especially those who are out of the game. They all do it, and many of them become addicted.

NFL players choose to play no one is making them play. You know what your getting into when you play football.

Because he was a Chiefs player.

I got a DUI when I was 19 years old. The cops followed me from the parking lot of a bar, then pulled me over less than a quarter mile after I'd left.

I spent 20 minutes in the freezing cold (like 10 degrees) while they administered sobriety tests, searched my car, etc. I lived less than a half a mile from where they pulled me over. So asked the officer:

Me: Would you mind just following me home?
Office: I could do that. But I'm not going to do that.

I was taken to the police station, had to blow into the breathalyzer three different times, was arrested, booked and charged with a DUI. Some friends came by to pick me up a few hours late and I had to pay to have my car towed and released the following day.

Since it was my first, I qualified for diversion and since I successfully completed it, it's never appeared on my record.

I haven't drank and driven since. Either a designated driver or cabs.

Let's see. Got the Cheaps to sue and the Police Dept. to sue now

memyselfI · 12-07-2012, 09:21 PM

A cop let me go after stopping me for going 50 in a 35. My son was in the backseat sick. He was very nice about it . It does happen.

Glad you learned your lesson young, so many people don't.
