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.

Is that really true for undrafted guys, though?
I know the guys at the combine and a few other outliers are studied hard, but I don't know that an undrafted lb from Maine was put quite through the ringer that most are.

... I could be wrong

Jesus Christ, McDouche is back in full force attention whoring. Just shut the **** up already.

Play the game, and other than each team getting draft order and the players getting stats for contract bonus $ its a meaningless game. Let them walk through it, there really is no harm to anyone. I don't get the outrage. There is no benefit to not having the game nor a huge disgrace to having it.

If the players aren't focused, it's understandable, but it's not unlike anyone else that's had to deal with tragedy that has to show up at work each day.

Buncha bleeding vaginas ITT. JFC, its sat evening, go have a ****ing drink and stop arguing. You're both chiefs fans, at the end of the day you want the same thing. Stop crying about you disagreeing over something. Worse than a ****ing sewing circle sometimes I swear to god.

Really?

Go ahead and point out where I'm wrong and where I'm "attention whoring".

What a bunch of ****ing pussies.

Yeah, I should dig up the posts where TK said I was wrong about ***** and Tyson Jackson.



He doesn't know dick. And he's a dick.

Great combo.

I have no outrage either way. Just curious as to why Dane is raging on people for thinking postponing the game was a possibility. It's entertaining anyway

You're a moron.

Were you privy to those private emails and conversations? If so, please post them for all to see.

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

And curious as to why that people here think it's so easy to postpone an NFL game because a player murdered the mother of his child and then offed himself?

Why would they do that? Oh, that's right. They didn't.

This whole thing is you attention whoring dude. FOX 4 is not going to be turned upside down and go broke if the game happened to be moved to Monday night. The people who'd watch tomorrow will watch anyway, and the people who wanted to watch Bones or whatever the heck is on Monday would throw a fit and complain and life would go on Tuesday.

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

You serious? If this effects you that deeply. You might want to check your priorities in life. Actually in all honesty you might look into therapy. I am not kidding bro your.post actually.concerns me as person.

Fox 4? Fox 4?

What about the NATIONAL advertisers that paid for Monday night's Primetime programming? What about the advertisers that paid for REGIONAL advertising for a Sunday NFL game?

What about lost viewership for ESPN?

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 the actions a murderer.

You clearly don't know a ****ing thing about broadcast TV.

True though you do have to consider player safety.
