Shooting at Arrowhead- Chiefs player commits suicide
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. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/86...-team-facility Last edited by MoreLemonPledge; 12-01-2012 at 10:32 AM.. |

I will add that players personal problems shouldn't be made public at least by the team. |

The more and more stuff that comes out it seems obvious Belcher was a disturbed individual with a history of being "not right in the head."
Why was he even on this roster if Pioli's Right 53 mantra was anything close to the truth? Even if you have a roster building philosophy that allows for players who are somewhat rugged individuals...this goes way beyond that. It's clear why he went undrafted...but it just screams to me like an example of Pioli ignoring a lot of red flags and keeping this guy around because he was one of his favorites.

The right 53 has never been about finding boy scouts. It's about finding guys who actually like playing football. The Patriots were one of the most underhanded teams of the last decade. But they'd find players who would do anything the coach said and weren't just cashing a paycheck.

I will add that I have never been a Belcher fan and have been bitching for 2-3 years he shouldn't be the starting MLB. I thought he sucked personally so no huge loss on the football field. |

Disagree. Pioli loves team captains and Matt Cassel types.

I never said he got it right. If he got it right this team wouldn't be 2-10. I said that's the idea behind it.

Yeah but fake niceness is enough.
Because Pioli is a big fake himself who has always appeared nice.
