    Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron confirmed that McNair and the woman were found at a condominium complex at Second Avenue South and Lea Street. He did not say when the shooting occurred or provide any other details.

    McNair, a quarterback with the Oilers/Titans from 1995-2005, led the team to its only Super Bowl appearance in 2000. He also shared the league's MVP award with Peyton Manning in 2003.

    “We are saddened and shocked to hear the news of Steve McNair’s passing today," Titans owner Bud Adams said today 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.”

    He is second on the franchise career list for pass attempts (3,871), completions (2,305), yards (27,141) and third in touchdowns (156).

    Dozens of shocked fans now starting to gather, expressing shock and disbelief.

    One unidentified woman said, "First Micheal Jackson and now this."

    Chad Daniels, who lives near the Second Avenue South condominium where the shooting took place, came stopped by to bring flowers and share his grief.
    “I think all of Nashville is pretty heartbroken over this,” he said, near tears. “He built the franchise. He built the Titans organization.”

    Saw this a few hours ago when a teevee Facebook friend who works in Nashville posted it before mainstream news sites had it.

    He was a good fellah. :(

    Steve McNair... I can't believe it. Really a great guy.. and at one point, a personal acquaintence on mine.

    This man gave us the best Superbowl in recent memory. Although IK hadn't spoken to him in years, I'll miss him and feel bad for his family. :cry:

    Police are alluding to his wife being the suspect since McNair and his mistress were shot in the condo he rented for her. It's either the wife or the mistress's ex-boyfriend, but he's talking to police openly. It's the wife who's clammed up.

    Well, one McNair is dead and the other's going to prison for killing him and his little action on the side. Your mom better load up on the antidepressants. It's looking sordid.

    My guess is that's a proof-reading error. He decided to swap "came" for "stopped" and failed to remove the original and no one caught it.

    Yep.....cheating carries an implied risk, so "great guy" or not, he brought it on himself.

    Jealousy is like Russian Roulette - he lost.
    Thanks for playing..... :(

    "Don't mess around with another man's wife

    Step out of line you can lose your life

    Stay on the straight and narrow road.

    Don't break the code."


    Song ends with

    "The gun was gray with a diamond bright shine
    He polished it when he came home from the mine
    He said I can protect and keep whats mine
    A believer in Jesus and the ties that bind.

    He found them in bed
    He went out of his mind
    Shot them both, through the heart three times
    The jury found only insanity
    So his mind stayed in prison but his body went free. "

    So his piece of ass on the side murdered him? It was hardly worth it now, was it, Mr. McNair? Talk about a real life example of Fatal Attraction. Dying for a 20 year old piece of ass is a pretty useless way to die.

    Maybe it's a driver's license photo? Here, if there's no other photo available, media outlets will often use a DL photo of someone who's dead or a suspect in a crime.


    A couple more photos:

    Found an article that says that McNair had bought her a new Cadillac and she got a DUI in it not long afterward. I think the "mugshot" looking photo above is from that DUI.

    She was also a waitress at Dave and Busters.

    Sheesh, guys, would it have been worth a bullet in the head if she were prettier? I don't think so. No pussy is that good.

    Apparently he was a moron. Now his wife is left to explain it to their kids. Must be comforting knowing that her husband bought the little psycho a Cadillac.

    He was a rich, popular football player. I'm quite sure they all get more ass than a toilet seat....he was just the unfortunate one to lose the jealous
    mate lottery.

    It's called Evolution.....Alpha Males attract more mates, which leads to taking more risks, which leads to the possibility of a shorter lifespan.

    That Governor from South Carolina could have just as easily died of lead poisoning....next time (and he will continue to cheat) he just may.

    Man, who would have thought a black athlete in America would cheat on their wife?
