"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." --- Bart Giamatti, on baseball
“After discussions between the league office, Head Coach Romeo Crennel and Chiefs team captains, the Chiefs advised the NFL that it will play tomorrow’s game vs. the Carolina Panthers at its originally scheduled time.”

The Chiefs wanting to play the game doesn't make it right.
I will give them credit for playing pehaps their best game of the season. I figured Carolina would get an easy victory today.
I am curious how this story will play out in the media, compared to the Benoit story, which is, off the top of my head, the last notable athlete murder/suicide.
