Shooting at Arrowhead

[Shoxfan11]

Belcher wasn't even a bad player either, he was a solid LB at stopping the run. I just don't understand how someone who worked their way up to get where they are would do something as bad as this.

He was one of my favorite players, but I'm not going to pretend he was the victim, cause he's definitely not.

Have to wonder if it's traumatic brain injury that caused him to snap for no reason

[newshock1234]

Very sad news, people said he was a pretty decent dude and didnt have any history of violence.

[newshock1234]

supposedly Jamaal Charles Wife is the cousin of the girl that Belcher killed. I honestly no reason for this game to be played tomorrow.

There is no absolute about what happened, other than two people are dead. Talked to a couple people who knew Belcher and they stunned. They were trying to dispel the rumors that it was him because there is no way he did that.

Lots of initial blame and bad mouthing of Belcher, deservedly so. But also several key people stating wait til all the facts come out. I'll be waiting to see what happened between them leading up to this.

Praying for the players, coaches, administrators, family, and friends of all those involved.

After all his achievements, perhaps he still found life unfulfilling and it became unbearable.

Have to wonder if it's traumatic brain injury that caused him to snap for no reason

Or roid rage?

They also leave a 3 month old baby behind.

Belcher's mother will most likely raise the child. At 3 mos of age there will be no memory of the lost parents. The child might stand to have a better future now as the domestic sitution was reported to be tense between the two parents.

I honestly no reason for this game to be played tomorrow.

If the Chiefs would forfiet the game, then I'm all for the Chiefs not playing tomorrow.

But there are plenty of reasons to play the game.

1. Players are payed to play games.
2. Beer vendors, food vendors - this is their economy
3. Season ticket holders - though I'm sure there are some would love the game to be cancelled so they could get a refund on their ticket.
4. There is also the fans who are planning on tailgating tomorrow - what are they going to do with all the food.
5. Jax would like for this game to be played. They are hoping the Chiefs will bring one home for Jovan
6. Secondarily Cleveland/Carolina/Philly are hoping for a chiefs win
7. TV contracts
8. Brett Favre played after his father passed away (and had one of his better games) - message life goes on

[shock]

Report on NFL Mobile says it all went down at the practice facility. They also said on again off again girlfriend, so the daughter would probably be raised by the girlfriends family.

I was shocked to see the story. Jovan was one of the leaders, and was a guy who loved kids. In fact, I believe he had a degree in child development(?) and was planning on working with kids after football.

This whole thing makes me absolutely sick.

9.................TIMES

[shock]

That's terrible. He snapped hard. To empty a clip? That's insanity.

To be honest with you, many people go into a rage when they are shot. Bullets are not magic and the human body can endure a LOT of holes before dropping from blood loss. If he didn't hit her central nervous system dropping her instantly, she might have rushed him with a weapon (think knife in the kitchen). That could be why he fired so many times.

Or as you say, he could have snapped hard...

Boy, it's really hard to believe that NBC would allow that type of commentary, especially during a football game.....really, really hard to believe.

Stick to sports Bob. At least then you have a chance that people will think you're smart.


To say I was outraged when I heard this last night, well, would be an understatement.
