Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill reportedly met with an NFL official Wednesday as part of the league’s investigation into whether he physically abused his son.

The “very thorough interview” lasted for eight hours, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, Hill was meeting with NFL Special Counsel for Investigations Lisa Friel in Kansas City. It is expected to be Hill’s only meeting with the NFL unless he is punished, in which case he will meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in New York City as well.

Steve Vockrodt and Brooke Pryor of the Kansas City Star reported that police were called to Hill’s home twice in March to check on the welfare of his three-year-old son. Hill’s son reportedly suffered a broken arm, but it is unknown how it happened.

Hill shares the home with his son and his fiancee, Crystal Espinal.

No charges were brought against Hill or Espinal because of a lack of evidence, but the investigation was reopened after audio of a conversation between Hill and Espinal surfaced.

In the audio released by KCTV 5, the following exchange took place (via ESPN.com’s Adam Teicher):

“‘Why did he say daddy did it? Why did he say daddy did it?'” Espinal asked.

“‘He says daddy does a lot of things,'” Hill replied.

“‘A three-year-old is not going to lie about what happened to his arm,'” Espinal said. “‘Daddy did it. He is terrified of you.'”

“‘You need to be terrified of me, too, b—h,'” Hill said.”

Espinal also said Hill hits their child when he cries: “He kept saying ‘Daddy punches me,’ which you do when he starts crying. What do you do? You make him open up his arms, and you punch him in the chest. Then if he gets in trouble, you get the belt out.”

Hill pleaded guilty to domestic battery in 2015 stemming from a 2014 assault on Espinal while he was attending Oklahoma State. Hill was charged after choking and punching Espinal while she was pregnant with their child.

The case was later dismissed and expunged from Hill’s record after he completed probation.

Hill, who is a three-time Pro Bowler and is coming off a career-high 1,479 receiving yards and 12 receiving touchdowns in 2018, agreed to stop attending offseason workouts with the Chiefs when the NFL opened its investigation.

Kansas City’s training camp is set to open July 23.

Jeff Chiu/Associated Press Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul has been fined $35,000 for making contact with a referee during Sunday’s game against the Golden State Warriors , but he will not be suspended for Game 2 Tuesday, according to Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic.  The incident came in the closing seconds of a 104-100 loss for the Rockets, with Paul being ejected after arguing about a non-call: Bleacher Report @BleacherReport Rough ending for the Rockets https://t.co/ha7dGYi120 According to Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated, the league fined him for “aggressively confronting and recklessly making contact with a game official.” Although it is never acceptable to make contact with an official, the guard’s anger might have been justified. According to the NBA ‘s   Last Two Minute Report , Warriors guard Stephen Curry should have been called for a foul on Eric Gordon with 4.4 seconds remaining, but it was instead ruled a turnover.

The disturbing reason authorities can’t detect dangerous right-wing extremists online

Updated March 17, 2019 14:36:21 Photo: Brenton Tarrant, pictured in Pakistan in 2018. (Supplied) When lives are tragically cut short, it is generally easier to explain the “how” than the “why”. This dark reality is all the more felt when tragedy comes at the hands of murderous intent. Explaining how 50 people came to be killed, and almost as many badly injured, in Christchurch’s double massacre of Muslims at prayer is heartbreaking but relatively straightforward. As with so many mass murders in recent years, the use of an assault rifle, the ubiquitous AR15 , oxymoronically referred to as “the civilian M-16”, explains how one cowardly killer could be so lethal. It was much the same in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando three years ago, when one gunman shot dead 49 people in a crowded space and, though the motive appears very different, the same sort of military instrument of death lies behind the 58 deaths in Las Vegas a year later. An AR15 was used to shoot dead 11 worshippe
