RIP Steve McNair
 

Wow, 3 days and nobody mentions this. I guess the murder of a retired NFL star isn't big enough to make the networks diverge from "All Michael Jackson, All The Time" :confused:

Michael Jackson dying. Sarah Palin stepping down. Other big stories going on over a big American holiday weekend.

As for this story, it is a shame that his personal life will be such a stain on the way he will be remembered.

Highly drafted black quarterback was given keys to franchise and led them for a decade with little, if any, problems until late in his career (dui or gun something or other, i forget). Volunteer in his community and was treated as just short of a God in Nashville.

A friend of mine from North Georgia is a huge Titans fan and he was quite upset at the idea of his idol being taken away from him in such a way.

To be honest, aside from the death of Billy Mays (sorry, long story), this one hit me the most. I was actually a big fan of Steve McNair, and it's a shame this happened to him.

Murder suicide care of a 20 year old girlfriend. *sigh*

Way too young, such a waste... I always liked him.

sad to see his life end this way, loved watching him play, one of the toughest qb's in nfl history, played through so many injuries. rip.
