Never commented or looked at this thread, but I watch American football a lot, just heard about the Kansas City Chief's player. Horrible thing to have happened, R.I.P.

Fucking hell, that's just awful. Can't even begin to find words for this, wouldn't be surprised if the Panthers game gets called off.
Ex-Mod. Technically retired, they just won't let me quit.
Absolutely awful. Also, as far as I know, Belcher and his girlfriend had a 2-3 month old child.
Surreal.
By coincidence, the Redskins this weekend play their first game since the 5 year mark of Sean Taylor's death.

Word is he drove to the facility and all he did was thank the coach and GM for giving him an opportunity before killing himself. One has to wonder if that was his plan all along or if his conscience got the better of him on the way over and he decided he couldnt live with himself anymore. Not that mad men ever make rational sense but to drive all the way down there to throw a few thank yous out before ending your life doesnt really fit.
This is crazy. I could not believe what I was reading.
It has a feel of it being planned, but such behavior is extremely against nature of all species on this planet, the desire for survival generally outweighs anything. It leaves me with the feeling that something psychological was really wrong with him.
All things said, it seems insane to play this game right now, you have members of the coaching staff who witnessed the act and had many people at the facility during the events. Real life outweighs football and even if it was postponed for just a day i feel it would be for the best.
Dear Detroit Lions,
The season is over. Stop trying. Tank. Tank. Tank. Get us a high ranked CB or even better a tackle. Seriously, this is the only way you can improve the team since the payroll is being raped by Stafford and Suh's rookie deals and the record contract you had to give Megatron after his enormous rookie contract. Also, please contact Nike and have them redesign the paneling on the jerseys so that they don't look so completely awful when they get even slightly wet.

The NFL is a money hungry business. People will be watching this game just because of this event. The NFL will give you the "It's a logistical nightmare if the game is postponsed" BS. They have already taken over Thursday nights. It is no longer an issue.
If the 49ers and Rams end in another tie that would be just the most amazing thing ever.
Wilson led the Hawks on drives of 94, 97 and 80 today for TDs. Insane.
Luck just drove the Colts down twice to score in the last five minutes scoring with 0 seconds on the clock on a little flip pass to a wide open receiver who ran in from 10 yards out. Somehow not a single Lion managed to get in front of the guy and tackle him. Pretty happy about that. Here is an idea Indy, let Luck do the play calling ALL GAME. He did it the last two drives out of the Manning hurry up, adjust at line scheme and destroyed the Lions.
The crop of rookie QBs this year, outside of Weeden, are damn good.

Oh ya and Calvin Johnson is now within striking distance of Jerry Rice's record for most yards in a season. Needs 420 yards over the next 4 games to reach 1848.
Peterson moves to 1446 rushing yards on the year, second highest season of his career with FOUR games to go. Should easily get to 2,000 combined yards.

Though I know it's only the Jaguars... OH LOOK WE ONLY THREW IT 17 TIMES AND GOT 34 POINTS. Spiller still didn't get enough touches though, but whatever.
You can tell WoW changed the MMO for good when players started complaining about the amount of time they sink, into a time sink.
a lot of ugly looking box scores
wish I'd watched the Seattle game though, that looked like another fun one
