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).

He built the Titans organization.” Check back at Tennessean.com for more updates.
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.
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.....
The Oak Ridge Boys "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.
