“There are reasonable disagreements, and I respect that. But then there are things that come from every angle, where you just have to say to yourself ‘sometimes the quality of the thinking of those who oppose you speaks for itself.’ I was told — I didn’t see it — that someone compared this as a fire-able offense to situations in which people have made blatantly racist comments, or comments that had no place whatsoever,†Costas said.
Kasandra Perkins, 22, was, technically, a girlfriend. But for all intents and purposes, she was a spouse. Belcher and Perkins referred to one another as husband and wife, and Belcher's mother called Perkins her daughter. Belcher brought Perkins and her relatives to a Fourth of July block party in West Babylon last year. On Matthews Avenue, the block where Belcher grew up, it was a big deal.
Brianne York, 21, befriended Perkins at Metropolitan Community College-Blue River in Independence, Mo., and noticed that football and a new child were straining Belcher's and Perkins's relationship. Perkins would mention, unhappily, that Belcher was often out late doing "team bonding stuff," she says. According to another of Perkins's friends, Devene Dunson-Rusher, team bonding sometimes meant drinking, and Perkins was uneasy with some of the Chiefs players with whom Belcher was carousing. Before Zoey was born, says Dunson-Rusher, Belcher wanted Perkins to get a job. After the birth, according to York, Belcher was upset when she didn't clean the house. According to Belcher's friends, Perkins wanted to upgrade their lifestyle and move to a different house. Perkins did move to another house, but not with Belcher.
She left with Zoey and moved first into the home of Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles, whose wife is Perkins' cousin, and then in with her family in North Texas. But the couple reconciled, and Perkins moved back in with Belcher last month. Belcher's mother had just moved to Kansas City from West Babylon to help care for Zoey and take some pressure off the couple. Briefly, by outward appearances anyway, the two were happy again.
According to a law enforcement official close to the investigation -- and contrary to published reports -- Belcher spent Friday night "partying" with another woman at the Power and Light District, a bar area in downtown K.C. He returned home between 6:30 and 7 a.m., at which point he and Perkins argued. Then, with his own mother in the house, Belcher used a handgun to shoot the mother of his baby girl nine times. He then drove to the Chiefs' practice facility in a Bentley so new it had temporary plates.
I agree and maybe you can combine this with blows to the head. I hope his family will donate his brain to science. Just watch old NFL films and you will never see an NFL player from the 70's to early 80's that look like TO or Jamal Lewis. Of course the inferiority complex of the DWF won't allow that to cross their minds.....:thumbdown:While the caste media will not touch it, there is very probably an element of this having to do with side effects from PEDs. I'm sure they will say concussions, etc..., but these guys are so geared up it's not even funny. I'm continually amazed by how many DWFs think that very few players use PEDs. They think having "black genes" mean that the affletes don't need them. I actually saw a thread on a bodybuilding forum arguing over whether or not the Old Spice idiot uses steroids. Ya think? A slight majority thought he just has "black genes". Combine PEDs side effects with confusion, stupidity (meaning low IQ and impulse control), emotional problems, and a quick fuse. Murder/suicide. The caste media won't delve too deeply into this.
And the NFL's Killer of the Week for Week 14 is. . . envelope please:
The unlikely named Josh Brent
Cowboys DL Josh Brent was arrested early Saturday morning on charges of intoxicated manslaughter. Teammate and practice squad OLB Jerry Brown was killed in the crash as the passenger in Brent's car. Brent reportedly was traveling at a high rate of speed then hit a curb and flipped his car. Brent was immediately taken to the hospital to have his blood drawn on the suspicion that alcohol was involved. After Brown was pronounced dead, Brent was then booked in Irving (TX) County jail at 4:14 AM on the charges. He did not travel with the team to Cincinnati.

Gee, he didn't travel with the team to Cincinnati. Haven't those cops in Irving learned about black privilege yet?
If you have priors for previous DUI's the law will come down harder for DUI. In this case they should throw the book at him, but with good lawyers and potential "star power" a jury could get swayed to convict him on a lesser charge(if they have the leeway). Cowboys in Texas have god like worship by DWF/DMF(Drunk Mexican Fans). Goodell's hairline has thinned a quite a bit in the last week....He'll probably get off with probatation and community service? Remember Leonard Little and his case? 4 years probation and community service. Sadly, I've had a few acquaintances who were convicted on DUI manslaughter. All of them ended up with serious prison time.

My 64 year old Uncle got 10 years probation for his second DWI. His first was like 6 years before, and nobody was ever hurt, or even affected by his drunk driving. I have a black neighbor who got 1 year probation for his third DWI, and he actually put a girl in the hospital with his second one. He complains constantly about it too. As if he only got punished because hes black.
Yes! His liberal pontifications are so obvious and tired...Now I'm just waiting for Bob Costas to give us all another sermon Sunday night about how we need to have a talk about our "car culture" and how they should be banned.
I have to agree with Bob Costas and others. This tradegty is caused by a "gun culture." Just listen to any rap song.
