Anyone have any updated info on which one it was?
And why would the NFL even consider changing anything for Sunday's game...or any type of game day acknowlegement to this coward???

I really doubt their heads will be in the game, considering they just lost a good friend. I think a moment of silence is all that's needed, as a sign of respect to the friends and families of those involved.

I never said he was the only one involved. Quite the contrary. If one of your best friends passed away unexpectedly, would you feel like going to work the next morning? You act like he was estranged. This was not the case. It came as a complete shock to those that knew him/them. I didn't realize that you knew him too. Oh wait...

Ask youself this, if he would have murdered his girlfriend and not turned the gun on himself and ended up in jail would you or anyone else think twice about cancelling a game? Of course not, so why does the fact that he committed suicide change anything. It's a terrible tragedy but it's not the only tragedy and unfortunatly life does go on.. I have not judged him in any way, in fact I told a friend that I heard him on a radio interview a year or so ago and was struck by how together the guy seemed. Saying that he committed a murder is not an opinion or judgement, it's a fact that I merely repeated. It's called reality..Sorry you lost a friend and I too have been down that road..but I was in no way being disrespectful...think about it.
I think the while situation is terrible, but for you to sit here and pretend like you have the right to judge others, especially when you have no fucking clue what the guy was actually like, is beyond ignorant. Sometimes people snap. It happens to the best of us. Originally Posted by garcia_fan

He would be demonized by the community for his actions. How tragic it will be for his baby to someday learn of her father's actions.
I am sorry for anyone, who is even remotely involved in this situation...very tragic.
But I continue to feel, the guy took the chicken shit option...and is now awaiting his final judgement, in the hereafter.
If Arrowhead wants a silence of moment...do it for the young American troops who died thousands of miles away from their family, serving our Country.
Do it for some faceless victim who died senselessly from a violent crime, in our very own city.
But as far as this individual...he deserves nothing more than the final judgement that awaits him. Originally Posted by vkmaster
