One of the first things Chiefs long-snapper James Winchester apparently did when he found out about the murder of his father on Tuesday afternoon was call Chiefs coach Andy Reid.
Reid listened, and understood that Winchester had to go home, back to Oklahoma City, to be with his family. Period.
“In those situations, you have to go,” Reid said. “Family is number one. This (football) is important in our lives, but not like that. He left right away.”
Michael Winchester, a 52-year-old employee of Southwest Airlines, was shot in a parking lot Tuesday while leaving work at Will Rogers World Airport.
