Yeah, according to the article, Belcher's mother witnessed the first shooting. What in the ****.

I think the Chiefs would be best off forfeiting this game. That team doesn't need to be playing football right now.

True. Just about the only thing they could do when rescheduling it is probably move it to Monday, which would be an okay thing to do. Put as much time as possible between the tragedy and when the game needs to be played.

Not true. One of the playoff tiebreakers can come down to strength of schedule. This game would impact possible playoff teams that played either of these two teams this season.

From a football standpoint, the game needs to be played. From a human standpoint, it would be completed understandable if the game was postponed or canceled.

I would think a forfeit would be owner Clark Hunt's call.

No, this game is meaningless. The strength of schedule tiebreaker component will still be usable with one less data point.

I think the persons that witnessed the action should have the choice to participate on Sunday or not, no questions asked. Not to be cold but it's still a business for both teams.
