WTF Steve Mcnair shot dead?????

[cardsfansince82]

That's crazy if true. Did this happen today? In the middle of the day?

The call to police came in at 1:35 PM.

That's pretty cold to shoot someone in the head in the middle of the day. On the fourth of July presumably right in front of family and friends.

1:35 pm was the time that the call was made, but they could have just whenthe bodies were found.

EDIT: Nashville news is reporting that it appears to be a murder/suicide. It was reported that McNair was shot several times, so I assume the 20 year old woman was shot only once.

I'm not so sure of this. A 20 year old woman murdering a C list sports celeb and killing herself? Even if he did something as awful as getting her sister pregnant, I'm not sure there's enough motivation.

Yeah he is worth more $ alive than dead to her.

Steve McNair is a C list sports celeb? News to me.

Looks like it's his girlfriend. Disappointing.

Although I'm sure all of the details will eventually come out, I don't see why this is so hard to believe....

Maybe, during the drunk driving stop earlier in the week, he didn't defend her like she wanted....maybe she caught him with another lady at a bar the night before....maybe he told her he was going to stop seeing her

You're assuming a 20 year old who allegedly shot and killed her boyfriend and then herself is stable enough to have some kind of reason for doing such a thing...which I'd think would be your first mistake..

If, indeed, that's what happened...she was messed up in the head enough to not need any motivation

What a sad, sad story.

When I was 16 my family moved to Houston. It was the very tail end of the Oilers' tenure in Houston. The city really loved that team, but the mayor was playing hardball with Bud Adams on the stadium (the Astrodome was already pretty dumpy). I had a chance to go to a few Oilers games and, knowing little about football, could already tell that the two rookies on the team, Steve McNair and Eddie George, were awesome and that it would be a great team as soon as they left town.

I'd always liked McNair. A good QB who played through a ton of injuries, didn't seem to complain when his role on the team changed, and played hard.

I don't know anything about him as a person. But it sounds like when the details come out, they won't be lovely.

I'm mostly stunned that the guy was only 36. It seems like he should've been so much older.
