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.

For the first time since I watched the team play in 1983, I agree 100%.

So, NFL broadcasts aren't IP?

Dane just pretends to know stuff, don't take him seriously.

He's probably someone's assistant.

You're really losing it.

First, you claim to know my financials. Then, you attempt to poke holes in my statements but can't do it. Then, you try to "get me" because I confused two Viking postponements.

Give up. You've lost. Try again another day.

THEY CAN'T MOVE THE GAME AT ALL BECAUE CONTRACTS AND ENTERTAINMENT LAW

Are you talking about Fox, who is massively inconvenienced and takes a financial hit? Are you talking about the thousands of fans who bought plane tickets or travelled 10 hours to get to Kansas City only to not get to see the game they already paid for? Are you talking about the workers who expected to work Sunday but now have to change their shift to Tuesday? Are you talking about the Panthers, who will now have to play a short week next week? Are you talking about the advertisers, who expected their ads to be on air on Sunday? Or are you talking about fans and advertisers of Fox Tuesday programming, who now have to cut shows because Fox had to re-slot their game?

Who is this "no one" you're talking about?

She's DEAD.

There's no reason AT ALL to figure out why he did what he did and try to "understand" it.

Because in the end, he's gone and can't kill anybody else. The ONLY reason to do what you're suggesting is so that we can posthumously paint him as a victim, as this society always wants to do.

As much as it pains me to say it - the only good I see is that millions of dollars aren't wasted housing a criminal and using our courts to depreciate the issue.

On second thought, keep hitting him.

Expose him for the ****ing moron that he is.

For purposes other than what we're talking about, I imagine they are copyrighted by the NFL. But let's stick to the subject here. If you want to argue about the little disclaimer that you hear before games, I think that's another thread.

I don't think you understand "cold blooded" murder. It's not that it's planned or not planned out, it is just emotionless murder. doing it without a conscience to what was happening. Yes that can be planned out, but it can also be spur of the moment, IE the farmer that killed the two teenage burglars.

In this case, JB going to arrowhead seems like he was full of many emotions on the day.

in any event, sad day, don't understand it, don't want to try.

When will it be ok for me to joke about how bad the team sucks again. After tomorrow's game?

I don't know your financials but I recall you attempting to boast about your million dollar home. Such a big star with your million dollar home!

Your statements have been raped all over the thread. Not only have I demonstrated you as full of shit but when others do it, you try and weasel you way out of that, also. CBF.

The subject?

Okay, Jenson, give it your all: Please explain to us why ESPN, who has contractually agreed to spend $1.9 billion a year to broadcast Monday Night Football, would allow the NFL to randomly broadcast another game on Monday night.

Go.

Ah who even cares. He's a warm blooded murderer then. They can put that on his headstone.

In the thread, I mean.

Look man, moving games is clearly hard work but it can be done. Dane started off by telling us it couldn't, then when reminded that it had previously been done, he changed his story. Fairly typical for him, really.

The guy had a degree in child development and family relations. That is truly ironic.
