A new report in the Kansas City Star — and a report from Fox4 — brings new information to the story."According to a story published Thursday morning in the Kansas City Star http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authent … are-jersey , the NFL was aware that Overland Park police had been called to the home of Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill before it was public knowledge.On March 15, news reports surfaced Hill was involved in an investigation over an alleged incident of battery against a juvenile.Hill has not been charged in the incident, which remains under investigation by Overland Park police, the Johnson District Attorney, and the Kansas Department of Children and Families.In its new story, the Star says it has obtained a copy of a letter sent to the Overland Park Police Department on March 12.It was sent from Dirk Taitt, who identified himself as an NFL representative involved in security.Press reports have indicated that Overland Park police were called to Hill’s home twice — once on March 5, and again on March 14.Taitt’s letter was sent a week after the first call, and two days before the second one.Neither police call was reported in the press before March 15.According to the Star, the Overland Park police immediately responded to the letter Womens Carlos Hyde Jersey , providing the NFL a copy of the March 5 report — the same one made public by the Star and other media outlets a few days later.But the Star also reports the March 5 report given to the NFL — just like the ones released to the media — did not include all the information now in the hands of the police.The Star said that the NFL declined to comment on Taitt’s letter to the police.During his pre-draft press conference on Thursday — which began just minutes after the Star published its story — Chiefs general manager Brett Veach also declined to comment.“Coach kind of said it on Monday,” said Veach, referring to a similar response from head coach Andy Reid during his press conference on Monday. “I don’t really have anything to say on that. It’s going to work itself out here, and we’ll deal with the information as it comes. There’s nothing I’d be in a position to say right now.”It is unknown whether the NFL has made additional information requests to local authorities.Update:Late on Thursday afternoon, Fox4 reported that in recent days, Hill and Crystal Espinal have been going through a child in need of care case in family court.There are a variety of reasons that such a case (called a CINC case) could be brought in family court — ranging from truancy to neglect to abuse.This from the Johnson County District Attorney’s web site:Since Hill and Espinal’s child is under school age, truancy is not the issue.That leaves neglect or abuse as possible reasons for a CINC case to be brought.Fox4 did not provide reporting on that part of the story.So what happens in a CINC case?Back to the Johnson County District Attorney’s information.Hill’s recent family court appearances could be related to (or a result of) the investigation by the Overland Park police in March. The purpose of these appearances could range from directing the couple in ways to improve their child’s living conditions to deciding whether Hill and Espinal should retain custody.Since they involve minor children, these cases are not open to public scrutiny — hence Fox4’s reliance on “court insiders” to confirm that Hill and Espinal have appeared there.Barring a public statement from the couple themselves, it is unlikely we will learn much more about what has been happening. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — It may have been hard to hear him over the noise of the New England fans celebrating an eighth straight trip to the AFC title game Demarcus Robinson Jersey , but Tom Brady is feeling disrespected.That’s right: The three-time NFL MVP and five-time Super Bowl champion told a national TV audience after demolishing the Los Angeles Chargers in the playoffs, “I know everyone thinks we suck and can’t win any games.“We’ll see,” Brady said with a roguish look in his eyes. “Could be fun.”There hasn’t been another NFL run like the Patriots‘ — at least in the Super Bowl era — with Brady and coach Bill Belichick leading the franchise to 10 straight AFC East titles and 15 in 16 years, resulting in eight trips to the Super Bowl and five NFL crowns.“You’re talking about a dynasty,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “If there is such a thing in the National Football League, they’ve been that.”And yet as they prepare to travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs (13-4) in Sunday’s AFC championship game, Brady is right about one thing: The Patriots (12-5) are a 3-point underdog, and that’s an unusual position for them.“We’re going against a team that’s the No. 1 seed in the league,” Brady said after the team’s final practice on Friday. “I’m sure there’s a lot of people that are thinking they’re going to win. Everyone can have their own opinion. We certainly have an opinion, and we’ve got to go out there and execute our best in order to accomplish that.”Players have long found their motivation wherever they can http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authent … rse-jersey , whether it’s the oddsmakers or experts or comments from the opposing team that go up on the locker room for all to see. Heading into the NFC title game, some banter about gumbo has turned into a rallying cry for the Los Angeles Rams.The Chiefs have been careful not to help out with any bulletin board material.“I don’t think they suck,” tight end Travis Kelce said. “I can tell you that.”But rustling up slights to motivate themselves is just another thing they’ve mastered.100<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button> Gallery:View from the sidelines: NFL cheerleaders 2018Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports | Raj MehtaResponding to the public perception — or at least that of the oddsmakers — receiver Julian Edelman tweeted a Chiefs hype video lauding quarterback Patrick Mahomes as the best player in the league. Edelman made no secret what he thought of that, adding a hashtag: “#BetAgainstUs”; he is also selling T-shirts with the slogan squeezed into the shape of the Patriots logo.Special teams star Matthew Slater said he wasn’t motivated as much by being an underdog in this game as other times he was doubted in his life.“I’m not supposed to be playing in this league anyways,” he said, “so we’ve got plenty of motivation.”Defensive back Jason McCourty was a sixth-round draft pick — just like Brady.And, just like Brady, and he hasn’t forgotten.“You’ve just always had that chip on your shoulder, and no matter what you go through in life, especially with football Womens Xavier Williams Jersey , there’s just always someone or something,” McCourty said.“I think that type of mindset, no matter if you’re 16-0, you’re rolling through the playoffs, no matter what the situation is, there’s always going to be somebody that’s doubting you or saying something about you. I think for certain guys individually, it may be something that kind of gives you that extra kick.”
