I'm conflicted. It's terrible, but they're football players, and that sense of normality has to help a little, if just for this game. You know what I mean? Don't think, just play.
To me, the people who'd be most affected are Pioli and Crennel. They witnessed it. They were talking to the guy, trying to save him from himself. And he thanked them before he did it.
That's just all kinds of ****ed up, and something I hope I never have to experience.

Dude, if an employee at your place of business killed his girlfriend, then offed himself, would the owner shut it down the next day?
The NFL is a corporate entity with billion dollar contracts at stake with massive contractual obligations that aren't going to go away because some dipshit offs his girlfriend and himself.
What happened today was tragic and I'm sure it's affected the players and coaches of the Chiefs organization.
But the tragedy doesn't lie within the Chiefs organization or the NFL. The player didn't meet a tragic ending. He murdered someone, then in a move of complete and utter cowardice, killed himself.
If the NFL were to call off or postpone that game, I believe they would be doing a disservice to the players, the coaches and the league.
Plus, contractually, they'd probably be fairly ****ed.
