This past weekend was a traumatic one for the NFL. Saturday morning, Kansas City Chiefs LB Jovan Belcher murdered his girlfriendKasandra Perkins, and then committed suicide at Arrowhead in front of coaches and personnel. Amazingly, the Chiefs still took the field and were able to pull off an emotional 6-point win (only their second of the season) vs. the Carolina Panthers. Their new starting QB Brady Quinn had some fine words afterwards and Dwayne Bowe even managed to get some RIP shirts pressed up rather quickly. The only thing is, Jovan's name is spelled wrong—a common mistake in the RIP shirt-making business, we suppose. You can't expect the graphic designer to spell Jovan's name correctly on such short notice, right?

At least Dwayne's heart was in the right place and that's all that matters.
