According to Wikipedia, “Belcher also went 2 for 2 successfully in a murder suicide on December 1, 2012.”

Obvious, yet hilarious joke.
Any details about the suicide? Was it in front of people is what I’m curious about. This could be an incredibly gnarly story.

And, so far, the NFL seems to be moving towards not cancelling the game.

Wasn’t Pioli the guy who left garbage in the stairwell to see who would clean it up? I think he was, I think he was.

Concussions. Or steroids. Possibly Joe Paterno. Or because they cheered Cassels injury.
Sad situation, wish everyone there the best.

Or Pioli discovered some deep, dark secret through a bug in Belcher’s residence.

Pistol, to be precise. Rick Neuheisel is available for a quick seminar.

Wondering if the whole sequence was planned or if the suicide was a response to the murder. Anyone read anything about that?

If he killed himself in front of the Chiefs coaches and they actually play the game tomorrow, how is that going to go? That seems like torture

The NFL is struggling to cultivate the league. Its like the NFL vs the players. Seems like more crazy shit going on now than the 90s and 80s. Goodell needs to get this shit under control.

It’s Chiefs-Panthers…Play it Wildcard weekend, neither team is going to the playoffs….With that in mind my serious proposal is just scrap the game. If I’m KC I’d take the forfeit loss rather than put my players out there a little over 24 hours after this. Don’t know if the NFL will have that tho as it could be construed as tanking for a better pick too…

I’d be alright with any decision really (play or cancel, don’t think re-schedule is feasible). Personally I’d go with the business as usual approach, but I can see the cancellation argument. Not only for the Chiefs, but some fans won’t want to go to the one of the scenes of a gruesome sequence.
