    WOW! That's horrible news. He was a big hero for the Tennessee Titans and did ALOT in the community.

    Their source has now withdrawn that story, doesn't look like there's any info outside of what's been on ESPN all day. Such an eerie story.

  • Sad story, whatever happened. Always liked McNair--he was a warrior out there. Didn't matter if he was on one leg and had a bad throwing arm, the man just wouldn't let his team fail.

  • McNair was as tough as there ever was at any position. I came to really respect his game after awhile and learned to never count him out on the injury report. I don't think there was ever a harder QB to tackle.

    Seems it wasn't that long ago he was League co-MVP. With Manning I believe. Way too early for him to be gone. That's for sure.

    Edit: It was 2003 for the MVP.

  • First I want to say that McNair was a great individual on and off the field. Full of heart and I think any team would have loved to have him on their team. I hope, if this new report is true, that it doesn't cause people to think differently about a man who gave it is all at all times.

    According to this new report the woman was McNair's girlfriend.

    Report: Woman Shot To Death Was McNair's Girlfriend

    Posted by Aaron Wilson on July 4, 2009 7:41 PM

    The woman found shot to death today along with former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair was allegedly McNair's girlfriend, according to a CNN report that cited an anonymous law enforcement official.

    However, the name of the woman hasn't been released even though she has been "tentatively identified."

    McNair was discovered dead today in a downtown Nashville condominium, according to police.

    Per the report, the condominium belongs to the woman with witnesses claiming that McNair was a "frequent visitor."

    Nashville Police spokesman Don Aaron told Tennessee reporters today that no suspect is in custody at this time. And Aaron ruled out the scenario of a murder-suicide.

    According to the Tennessean, Aaron noted that the woman killed was not McNair's wife.

    Meanwhile, WSMV-TV in Nashville is reporting that the building is owned by Charles Cardwell.

    Cardwell told the television station that the unit was rented to a man named Wayne Neeley, but that McNair used the apartment when he was in town.

    According to WSMV, the apartment is in close vicinity to McNair's restaurant, which is named "Gridiron9."

    Cardwell added that he hadn't seen McNair in about six weeks.

    Per the report, two black sport utility vehicles have been towed away from the scene.

  • What a shame. He was a great one, that's for sure. I always wanted to see him play for the Browns.

  • A tough loss of a Tough QB...what a shame...was a huge McNair fan,,,he was a class act and will be missed

  • Jesus dude wtf is going on with this summer. RIP Mcnair

  • Del Greco says McNair's death like kick to gut

    http://www.al.com/sports/birminghamnews/in....xml&coll=2

    Now isn't that like a kicker to say that? Or did he?

    But seriously, it was shocking, to say the least, hearing of yet another death. Steve Mcnair was a tough as nails kind a guy. My sympathy goes to his wife and kids who now have the awful pain and reality of what lead to this tragedy. RIP Steve Mcnair

  • This is really sad to hear.

    It sounds like either he tried to break things off with the girl and she took things too far, or.....

    His wife found out about their affair and hade it made to look like a M/S.

    Is that true or was Fred Lane shot by his wife? I'm getting old, I can't remember alot of the details on these things.

    This is a tragedy folks. I'm glad to see the CLASS on this board shining through in all the replies I'm reading. That's a good job by you! People in Nashville here are just beside themselves. He and Eddie George are the co-icons of the Titans' franchise.
