Someone reportedly fired a shot into Andy Reid's office in 2024 while the Chiefs coach was inside
Someone fired a shot into the office of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid in 2024 while the Chiefs coach was inside, The Kansas City Star reports. Neither Reid nor anyone else was injured, but he now sits behind bulletproof glass in his office window, according to the report. Citing "several sources," including a spokesperson for the Kansas City Police Department, the Star reported Wednesday that the shooting took place in May of last year. Per the report, Reid was working alone in his office at the Chiefs practice facility after midnight on May 4 when someone from outside the building fired a shot through a window in his office. The bullet then lodged into the wall between the door to Reid's office and his bathroom, roughly 15 feet away from Reid's desk, per the report. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] The shooting had not previously been reported or publicly disclosed until Wednesday. Investigation is ongoing KCPD spokesperson Capt. Jacob Becchina told The Star that no arrests have been made or charges filed, and that an investigation is ongoing. The Chiefs declined to comment to the Star about the incident. The motive for the shooting is unclear. 'There is no indication this was a targeted incident at any person or organization," Becchina told the Star. 'Because the building was occupied at the time of the bullet coming through the window, the case is being investigated as an aggravated assault." Per the report, two other bullets were fired at the building during the shooting. One hit the third floor, one floor above Reid's second-story office. The other hit an outdoor air-conditioning unit. Kansas City's practice facilities reside at the Harry S. Truman Sports Complex, which sits between the Chiefs' home field at Arrowhead Stadium and Kaufmann Stadium, home of the Kansas City Royals. The facility also houses the Chiefs' front-office staff and corporate offices. Reid, 67, has coached the Chiefs for 12 seasons. He's led the Chiefs to five Super Bowl appearances and three Super Bowl victories in the last six seasons. He was three months removed from leading the Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at the time of the shooting. The Chiefs are currently preparing for their third and final preseason game against the Chicago Bears on Friday. The Chiefs will open their regular season at home against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 5.

Rashee Rice's NFL disciplinary hearing reportedly scheduled for Sept. 30, likely making him eligible for Chiefs' first 4 games
Kansas City wide receiver Rashee Rice will reportedly have his disciplinary hearing with the NFL on Sept. 30, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, meaning he will likely be eligible for the Chiefs' first four games of the season. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Former U.S. district judge Sue L. Robinson, who acts as the NFL and NFLPA's jointly-appointed discplinary officer, will preside over the hearing. According to Schefter, the only NFL disciplinary hearing she heard was DeShaun Watson's. According to the Washington Post's Mark Maske, the league and union have held talks about a possible settlement in the case, which could occur before the Sept. 30 hearing. The Chiefs begin the season against the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil on Sept. 5, then face the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens — a game that will take place two days before Rice's NFL hearing. Rice's status has been up in the air due to his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash in Dallas in March 2024. The news comes following word of Rice's sentencing to 30 days in jail and five years' probation for his part in the crash. At the time of the incident, Rice's lawyer confirmed that his client was driving a Lamborghini that was racing a Corvette involved in an accident with three other vehicles on a highway in northeast Dallas. He was driving 119 mph just before the crash occurred, according to a police report. The drivers of the Lamborghini and Corvette fled the scene without providing any information or checking if anyone involved in the crash required medical attention. At least four people were injured in the crash. Rice turned himself in to the police nine days after the incident. He faced eight charges for his role in the crash, including six counts of collision causing bodily injury, one count of collision causing serious bodily injury and one count of aggravated assault. Two people involved in the accident sued Rice and Teddy Knox, who allegedly drove the Corvette, for $1 million in negligence and punitive damages — a lawsuit that was settled in favor of the plaintiffs, Dallas County court records indicate. The lawsuit claimed that numerous injuries from the crash, including 'trauma to the brain, lacerations to the face requiring stitches, multiple contusions about the body, disfigurement, internal bleeding, and other internal and external injuries that may only be fully revealed over the course of medical treatment.' Rice was also suspected of assaulting a photographer in May, but the alleged victim dropped the charges and incurred no punishment from the league. The looming suspension was very likely a factor in Kansas City drafting Texas receiver Xavier Worthy in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The Chiefs traded up from the No. 32 selection in the first round to No. 28 to select the speedster. Last season, Rice played only four games for the Chiefs after suffering a torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee. He made 24 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns.

The Rashee Rice case creates bad optics for the league
In sports, like in politics, people have their favorite teams. In sports, like in politics, people will apply double standards and embrace hypocrisies, all in the name of circling the wagons around their biases and rooting interests. That's absolutely happening in the Rashee Rice case. Fans of the Chiefs are quick to attack the notion that Rice and the Chiefs have received favorable treatment from the league office via the delayed resolution of his Personal Conduct Policy case. And those same people would be saying something very different if Rice played for another team. But here's the basic reality. Rice engaged in a dangerous street race in late March of 2024. The incident was captured on video. In the months since then, the handling of Rice has seemed odd, to say the least. Various media members have asked, for months, why the league hadn't done anything. The reason is clear. The NFL's standard practice is to wait for the resolution of the underlying criminal case before imposing discipline under the Personal Conduct Policy. Here, Rice was charged with eight felonies. He was not placed on paid leave. That part is easily explained, too; the NFL, despite having the express ability to place a player charged with only one felony on paid leave, typically uses this P.R. tool only when the charge relates to domestic violence. The situation changed after Rice pleaded guilty to two felonies, resulting in 30 days of jail time (which can be served at any point over the next five years) and five years of probation. The guilty plea was entered on July 17. The next step was to evaluate his case for discipline under the Personal Conduct Policy. At least one reporter employed by the media outlet of which the NFL will eventually acquire a 10-percent stake has suggested there's nothing to see here. The league and Rice's representatives tried to work out an agreed suspension. After they reached an impasse, it was time to schedule a hearing. The disciplinary officer under the Personal Conduct Policy, retired judge Sue L. Robinson, wasn't available until September 30. As a result, Rice will be eligible to play until the hearing is held, the punishment is decided, and any appeal (by the NFL and/or by Rice) to the Commissioner or his designee is resolved. And what of the apples-to-apples comparison to Vikings receiver Jordan Addison, who pleaded guilty on the same day to a misdemeanor with no jail time? He has already been suspended for the first three games of the regular season. Obviously, his suspension arose under a different policy. He didn't fight it. It was automatic: Three games for a guilty plea in any case that involves a DUI charge. The procedure under the Personal Conduct Policy takes more time to unfold, especially when the proposed punishment is contested by the player, his representation, and the NFL Players Association. But there was no reason to delay the process. Although I do not (and never will) believe that the league consciously rigs games for the Chiefs, it's impossible to rule out a partial erosion of the supposed firewall between the 'integrity of the game' and the NFL's business objectives. The Chiefs quite possibly get more 'jump balls' than other teams, either through the exercise of in-game discretion by officials who are aware of the ratings muscle of the Chiefs or, in this case, from the urgency (or lack thereof) displayed by the bureaucrats responsible for the implementation of the league's in-house justice system. Just as the league's standard practice is to delay imposing discipline until the criminal charges have been resolved, the league has a standard practice of finalizing potential suspensions before the start of a given season. As to Rice, the NFL has deviated from that standard practice. Other teams are looking at the handling of Rice and wondering why the deviation has happened. Why wasn't the league ready to mobilize immediately upon Rice pleading guilty to multiple felonies? Why didn't the league insist on the scheduling of a hearing in, for example, early August, so that the case would have been resolved before Week 1? The league has a well-earned reputation, in matters of player discipline, of getting what it wants, when it wants it. In this case, the league undoubtedly didn't say, 'Let's slow this down so that Rice is available to the Chiefs for an early-season slate that features six straight games on big platforms.' But the popularity of the Chiefs combined with their presence on YouTube in Week 1, the Fox national 4:25 p.m. ET game in Week 2, NBC in Week 3, the CBS national 4:25 p.m. ET game in Week 4, ABC/ESPN in Week 5, and NBC in Week 6 may have influenced, consciously or not, the failure to insist on the standard practice of finalizing all pending suspensions before the regular-season starts. That easily could have happened. This case doesn't require a detailed presentation of evidence. Play the video of the street race and the ensuing crash. Introduce medical records regarding the injuries suffered by the people in other cars. Determine an appropriate punishment. Appeal the decision. It could have been done by Week 1, if it had been prioritized by those responsible for doing so. It wasn't. And that's the problem. At a time when the tinfoil-hat crowd is looking for evidence to legitimize the misguided conspiracy theories, the NFL tossed a raw steak into the cage. If anything, the unfounded perception that the league deliberately favors the Chiefs should have compelled the league to ensure that Rice's case was resolved ASAFP. And it doesn't matter, as some have suggested, whether the Chiefs would prefer to have Rice for those early-season games, or whether they'd like to have him serve his suspension and return without the reality of a future absence hanging over the team. The league knows the schedule. Six games, on major platforms. The Chiefs will be at full strength for at least four, if not five. (And, if there's an appeal, definitely all six.) That's the heart of the concern. By not insisting that a clear, undeniable violation of the Personal Conduct Policy that happened in plain sight nearly 17 months ago resulted in a suspension commencing as of Week 1, the league has allowed skeptics (including people employed by other teams) to wonder why the league has departed from its standard practice. Standard practice. It was followed regarding the decision not to punish Rice until he entered a guilty plea. It was followed regarding the decision not to put him on paid leave. It was not followed regarding the decision to let the disciplinary case linger into the regular season. The overriding point is this. The league ordinarily gets these cases resolved before the season starts. By not doing it as to Rice, the league has given people a reason to say, 'That's peculiar.' Look at it this way. If the league had announced Rice's suspension on Thursday, no one could have raised a credible question about it. It's standard practice to resolve these suspensions before Week 1. The fact that the incident happened nearly a year and a half ago would have made it even more appropriate for the situation to be resolved before the Chiefs face the Chargers three weeks from tonight in Brazil. The fact that it wasn't is odd, because it represents a deviation from standard practice. Which necessarily creates bad optics for the league.
