papazoid Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Reports are still coming in regarding a tragedy involving the Kansas City Chiefs, but here's what we know at this time. Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend at a house near the team's facility on Saturday morning. Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan, who is on scene, confirmed the name of the player after speaking with local police. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/report-chiefs-player-kills-girlfriend-takes-own-life-154951891--nfl.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Crazy that both Crennal and Pioli saw him do it... One of the most disastrous seasons in the Chiefs history. This was a sinking, rudderless ship before this incident. It was pretty much determined that these men would be gone at season's end. What a sad slice of life. I'd say still obviously over simplified in explanation. Perhaps the straw that broke the camel's back? Again, just speculation and I won't go farther than that for now.

It was pretty much determined that these men would be gone at season's end. What a sad slice of life. Perhaps the straw that broke the camel's back? Again, just speculation and I won't go farther than that for now. All it said was it was an early AM fight after a late night at a concert. Could be any number of things from there. Obviously for it to escalate like that though, there was a whole lot of gasoline before the match struck this morning. friends reporting they often fought so likely underlying issues between them, and I think it's safe to speculate he wasn't well equipped to deal with problems. From there, who the knows what happened in the hours before. With mom present for it, it's likely we get a pretty detailed run down soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
