This is sad news for today. He was a great football player and inspired people to play sports more.

My best wishes go out to his family

As a very big Titans fan this is shocking and sad news to say the least. I was going to post a thread on this but caught up on other things. Props for presenting this!

All these celebrities dying is strange to say the least you know? McNair was a great quarterback, player, and man who contributed to his community and jolted the Titans to their first Super Bowl appearance, which they nearly won in 2000. This is unexpected and a VERY sad day for all Titan fans, as well Baltimore fans I suppose.

RIP Steve!!!

Dang! Murder-suicide maybe?

A great athelete, a great man.

May he win all the superbowls where he is now.

McNair's Escalade involved in DUI arrest this week

A car registered to Steve McNair and a 20-year-old woman was stopped two days ago on Broadway.

The driver and co-owner, Sahel Kazemi, was charged with driving under the influence and refusing to take a breath test. The car was a 2007 black Cadillac Escalade.

Earlier today, a black Escalade was towed from the condominium complex on Second Avenue where McNair and a female who has not yet been identified by police were found dead this afternoon.


It is not clear whether this is the same vehicle involved in the DUI arrest.


Steve McNair is married to Mechelle McNair, who police have confirmed is not the victim.

Hmm I wonder if this DUI has anything to do with it.

A Tennessee newspaper reports that Steve McNair had an affair with the woman who was found dead next to him.
4 minutes ago from BNO Headquarters

That's not good

Well, from the reports coming out,, Steve had 3 bullet wounds, and the lady with him had a single gunshot wound to the head.

Sounds like she killed him then killed herself. This would ring even more true if it turns out he was having an affair with her.

It may be a little crass.. but ending an affair (if this is what was happening) should never be handled in person.

-edit- Changed number of bullet wounds.

Let us keep speculation to a minimum until we know for sure what happened.

I completely understand where you are coming from with your statement... but...

This is ATS, speculation makes it's home here.. it is a conspiracy site after all.

There has been speculation in every MJ thread that has popped up.. what makes this one any different?

Nothing makes this different other than my personal attachment!

Then you are biased.... not that that is a bad thing, but that does not mean others cannot make "speculations".

If it turns out those who make the speculations (such as myself) are wrong, we (I) would be the first to admit it.

True, I am sorry....I am just a huge Titans fan and am GREATLY SADDENED TODAY, forgive me...

No worries my friend...

I live in TN... none were as shocked by this as myself (there I go with speculations again ).

Cool.... I really hope the Titans win it all this year, I thought they were last year. I am rocking a Chris Johnson jersey right now, I do not have a McNair....
