Wow. What a shocker. what is up with all the death going on these days. he was 36. he was with a woman and they we both shot to death in his nashville home. i just saw this report on yahoo news. i am sure more details will come once more is known about this.
I don't even know this guy... [bet it was over drugs]
With all these deaths , I'm starting to think it's terrorism. I saw the enquirer the other day and it said MJ feared someone wanted to kill him, then he was given the wrong drug that caused a reaction on the way to the hospital. Wish people just make up their minds. lol
he was a qb in the nfl for 13 years. he played for the the ravens and the titans. his nickname was "air mcnair". he also played in 1 super bowl in 2000. one thing he was known for was playing through lots of pain towards the end of his 13 years in the nfl.
this is a sad for all foot ball players and fans. wow im so sad i actually got to meet him thru a friend of mine. he was a very classy guy. and its not always about drugs and if it is im ashamed.
u can deduct these chips ndn but i just needed to post for those who didnt know who he was.
Former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair has been killed, a source has confirmed to ESPN.com.
McNair, 36, suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head in downtown Nashville, police spokesperson Don Aaron said. A female victim was also found dead.
"I don't have any answers for you now as to what's happened, who's responsible," Aaron said.
Aaron said police have tentatively identified the woman but did not release her name.
"There are persons who were around the complex today, visitors, who have been taken to headquarters for questioning, just to see what they know, what they may have seen," Aaron said. "No one is in custody right now."
The condominium where the bodies were found is one that McNair was known to frequent, but police spokeswoman Kristin Mumford could not say whether he was the owner. The incident happened near 2nd South & Lea Ave in Nashville.
Detectives from the police department's centralized homicide unit were on the scene.
Steve McNair: 1973-2009
The news of former NFL quarterback Steve McNair's passing drew reaction from across the sports world. Reaction
McNair played 13 seasons in the NFL, 11 were with the Titans. He played his final two years with the Baltimore Ravens, retiring after the 2007 season.
"We don't know the details, but it is a terrible tragedy and our hearts go out to the families involved," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement.
"We are saddened and shocked to hear the news of Steve McNair's passing today," Titans owner K.S. "Bud" Adams Jr. said in a statement. "He was one of the finest players to play for our organization and one of the most beloved players by our fans. He played with unquestioned heart and leadership and led us to places that we had never reached, including our only Super Bowl. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family as they deal with his untimely passing."
About 50 people crowded just beyond police tape outside the complex in the upscale Rutledge Hill neighborhood, some wearing Titans hats. The condominium is located within walking distance of an area filled with restaurants and nightspots, just a few blocks from the Cumberland River and within view of the Titans' stadium.
McNair began his career in 1995 with the Houston Oilers, who eventually became the Titans, and finished with 31,304 yards passing and 174 touchdowns. McNair played with pain for several years, and the injuries ultimately forced him to retire.
The highlight of his playing time might have been a five-game stretch at the end of the 2002 season when he was so banged up he couldn't practice. McNair started all five games and won them all, leading the Titans to an 11-5 finish and a berth in the AFC championship game for the second time in four seasons.
McNair played all 16 games in 2006, his first season in Baltimore, and guided the Ravens to a 13-3 record. But he injured his groin during the season opener last season and never regained the form that enabled him to earn a berth in four Pro Bowls.
"I am deeply saddened to learn of today's tragic news regarding the death of Steve McNair. He was a player who I admired a great deal," said New England Patriots senior football adviser Floyd Reese, who was GM of the Titans when McNair played there. "He was a tremendous leader and an absolute warrior. He felt like it was his responsibility to lead by working hard every day, no matter what.
"I don't think there was a player who played with him or against him that didn't look up to him and respect him," Reese said. "My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, his friends and the many teammates who loved and admired him."
Titans coach Jeff Fisher was out of the country, taking part in the first NFL-USO coaches tour to Iraq.

What a horrible and sad thing to happen and especially today of all days. God bless his family and friends.
Sorry but it definitely sounds like drug involvement to me. Maybe not for all but this case it does.
well what info u have that the cops havent released. sounds a little biased. tell me where you read that drugs might be involved. could be a plain robbery because he has money. did u think of that. dont asume what it is until all the facts are out. sorry if i sound defensive. but it irks me when u hear of some thing like this then someone like u says its over drugs. like i said i might be wrong but i have never heard of mc nair ever using drugs.Quote:

Be careful out there everyone.
So, you telling me that football stars don't do drugs? It's a fact that they do...I know Andre Reed and Mike Dickas and his Viagra. lol , Most of them do drugs and or they wouldn't be in the paper. Look, my mom died in march but does anyone give a chit? NO! She never made the papers . So why the **** care about these people? Cause he made super bowl and made more money? Who the **** cares about this guy? I don't.. never heard of him and never like the titans either. Go BEARS! :)Quote:

So I put $10 to win and place both horses and a $20 exacta box.
I went to dinner and came back and saw that I had won another $600.
Best CES show ever. Been to 6 of them.
McNair was married (with four kids, the oldest around 12) and he was murdered with his girlfriend. I am guessing the wife had something to do with it, or an ex-boyfriend of the woman who was murdered. What is most odd is the timing: McNair opened a restaurant in Nashville just two weeks ago. Maybe coincidence, maybe business partners who thought McNair was worth more dead than alive. Pity all the same. McNair seemed like a nice guy. I knew a relative of his who worked at a college I used to work at, and she said he was a really nice guy.
i think its funny how people assume things about people before the detail are all out. just cuz its an female doesnt mean it was his girlfriend. who to say it wasnt a family memeber or family friend. drugs???? that is just way out there if you ask me. this guy was never in the papper for bad things. i know most role models screw up and do stupid crap but i truly think this is just a random robbery. i must say who ever did made sure they wanted him dead with a shot to the head. anyways i could be completely wrong here but i feel this guy didnt have nothing to do with drug nor cheatin gon his wife.
Looks like Steve took his final sack.
wow just like the mj jokes people already starting in on this guy.Quote:

Yo dude calm down their. First sorry to here about your mother. But all football players do not do drugs just because some of them do does not mean all the players do. And as for Steve McNair was a health nut when he played football and was in pain he would fright not to take any pain killers. And as for his death it looks like it was a robbery. Will we all know soon what happen.Quote:

They say he's a great family man but I don't see how he can be a great family man when he's cheating on his wife?
Booze = drugs and he got pulled over at least 3x for it and got off each time. :cool::D
I'm a boozer and was drunk when I wrote my post. :grin::grin:
wow u still just wont have little sympathy for a human being. no matter what he did it was wrong for her to kill him. i mean come on. as for u being drunk maybe u shouldnt post when u are because that was all bad. whatever its done with. have a good night.
well they did find gun residue on the g/f's hand. so its looking more like she
did it. also the wife said she didnt know about the girlfriend. well this is a
strange case to me cuz all the things going on. i just feel really bad for the
wife. found out your husband is dead and he was cheating on you all in the
same day. good bless her and the rest of the family involved in this.
well the police finally ruled it as a murder suicide. so eat your words manhater. gosh i hate that name makes me wonder y you are so angry all the time. man problems is usually what it is. oh wait it drugs its always drugs.
