This has been a bad couple of weeks.

I honestly hope he wasn't involved with something shady. I guess we'll find out more in the coming days. Absolutely shocking.

 

[Kinetic]

Man, that's awful. I always enjoyed watching him play.

 

[Damaramu]

Wow, what a terrible thing to happen. I liked McNair. I don't know anything about the guy personally but he was a hell of a player to watch.

I'd rather this story get double coverage on FOX rather than interrupting my game to show Manny's at-bats like it's important.

I like a half an hour from Nashville. Needless to say this is all over the Nashville stations.

I woke up with my TV still on ESPNews from when I went to bed this morning and I was shocked. I used to date a girl from Tennessee about 9 years ago and I still have a red McNair Titans jersey, purchased from the stadium's store, that I was given. So while I was never a Titans fan, I became a McNair fan. He was easily one of the best black quarterbacks of this generation. Rest in peace, Steve McNair.

I am really hoping this isn't Chris Benoit Part 2.

Definitely one of the toughest QBs of this generation. Crazy that he was out of football at 34 and only got to enjoy it for under 2 years before someone took it away.

I was a GIANT Titans from 1998-2004 or so......if I were any kind of celeb I wouldn't leave my chaos bunker!!

Oh my god I saw this headline in the "recent topic posted in" and I just can't believe this. Oh my god. Horrible. Fucking.. wow. I'm at a loss for words.

Well let's bear in mind that the other recent celeb deaths weren't suspected homicides. Chaos bunker doesn't protect you from cancer.

Of course this doesn't mean that this string of celeb deaths isn't some crazy shit though.

 

[Psycho Penguin]

This is definitely not like the other celeb deaths of late.

When I saw a woman, I said "Oh shit, Chris Benoit?" but they would have found a gun nearby wouldn't they? They would have suspected a murder/suicide immediately? So I am guessing he was having an affair with someone's wife and he shot them both dead. But who knows yet.

RIP. Fuck. This is tragic as tragic gets.

I'll post the link when I get home, but saw that the Fox new out of Nashville is reporting that it is a murder/suicide. This is crazy. One of the good guys of the NFL.

Man, this is terrible. When I saw the news on a ticker, for some reason it didn't resonate as Steve McNair, because I thought of Vince Young first since he almost went there.

 

[MFer]

CNN.com says that the woman was McNair's girlfriend and they were at her condo. He was currently married with four sons so that may have played a factor (reportedly being with another woman, that is) but that's just speculation for now. EDIT: Or maybe it was a murder/suicide, which would be even more fucked up, considering McNair's rep as a great guy.

But man...it's just shocking to hear. McNair was one of my favorite QB's and he was tough as nails. I mean, the guy had a laundry list of injuries throughout his career and he managed to tough it out for over a decade. R.I.P.

Oh for fucks sake.

He was my second favorite QB behind McNabb. Sucks.

Oh for fucks sake.

It's been updated as a double murder. Not good, but a little better than murder/suicide.

 

[dx1997]

I got this from Darren Rovells twitter:

WSMV confirms that McNair was murdered in downtown Nashville. Was shot and killed by his wife, and then the wife killed herself.

But it has been retracted for now. So I guess another "theory" is out there.

Well, yeah, that was the original story, and it's horrible, but at least he was a victim for sure. I think a murder/suicide would be easy to prove in this case. Unless someone came and took the gun away! And that wouldn't make sense..

 

[Vitamin X]

Wow, I didn't expect that when I woke up from my nap. I can't say I had any really strong feelings about McNair, nor did I watch him as much as I should have since he was on the Titans and Ravens, but I did remember rooting like hell for him in the 99 playoffs to win it all.

Sad story.

 

[AA484]

Wow, very sad to hear. I always liked McNair. R.I.P.

 

[OG]

One of my favorite football memories is cheering like mad on his big drive in 1999 and it coming up just short. He was a warrior.

RIP
