Just saw it on ESPN's bottom line. The name has not been released.

Damn.

**Prince** · 12-01-2012, 07:56 AM

Apparently the player killed his girlfriend and then drove to the facility to kill himself.

scdn · 12-01-2012, 08:00 AM

That's messed up.

**Prince** · 12-01-2012, 08:01 AM

Word is that it is linebacker Jovan Belcher.

**Basel** · 12-01-2012, 08:24 AM

He was confronted by coaches, too, who tried to stop him but he put the gun to head his and did it, anyway. Crazy situation.

**Knick Killer** · 12-01-2012, 09:38 AM

This sounds a lot like the Chris Benoit tragedy. You have to wonder if concussions had anything to do with this.

**Knick Killer** · 12-01-2012, 09:46 AM

And if anyone thinks steroids had anything to do with this, you're an idiot.

**Knick Killer** · 12-01-2012, 09:54 AM

They have a baby apparently. Oh man...

**RollWithEm** · 12-01-2012, 10:08 AM

Do we officially know who it is, yet?

**Prince** · 12-01-2012, 10:17 AM

Yep. Belcher.

**RollWithEm** · 12-01-2012, 10:19 AM

Wow. Just read the whole story. He thanked the GM and his coach for all they had done for him right before he pulled the trigger? Are they actually going to play a game tomorrow?

**Basel** · 12-01-2012, 10:25 AM

I hope they don't have any sort of moment of silence or whatever for him. Guy killed his girlfriend. Why wouldn't they play a game tomorrow?

He shot himself in an office at the facility right in front of his coach and GM. You don't think that might shake up the organization a bit?

**Knick Killer** · 12-01-2012, 10:35 AM

I think they should play the game tomorrow.
