Damn man... its been such a tragic year its unbelievable. Not just celebrities, but lots of deaths I'm hearing about overall. McNair was always one of my favorite players. He was one of few that did start moving to revolutionize the QB positions, moving away from the standard pocket QB. Always fun to watch.

Autopsies don't solve anything...especially when you've got a gunshot wound to your head.

After reading the description of the crime scene, it sounds like this was a murder-suicide on the part of the female. Police say that McNair was on the sofa, several gun shots wounds...while the female was lying on the floor with a single gunshot wound to her head & a pistol beside her.

Yeah police are investigating it as a murder-suicide. It's such a shame something like this had to happen to a great person like McNair.

RIP Steve McNair. I'll always remember him for the greatest Super Bowl I ever watched. Besides Giants- Pats. The Titans-Rams Super Bowl and his late game heroics is what I'll always remember him by and his amazing humility.

Steve McNair, he did a lot in his career and did it with class. This is very shocking to say the least and it's a real shame that he had to go this soon.

Definitely enjoyed watching him play for several years at a position he was very good at. Just never know from day to day what might happen - it sucks.

Exactly as I suspected...

Associated Press said:
Police: Shootings a murder-suicide

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Police confirmed Wednesday that ex-NFL star Steve McNair's 20-year-old girlfriend killed him before turning the gun on herself.

They said they may never know what was going through Sahel Kazemi's mind when she shot McNair in his condominium early Saturday, but interviews with friends indicated she was becoming increasingly distraught over events in her life, including financial problems. Police said she also suspected McNair was seeing another woman.

She told a friend on Friday that "My life is a ball of [expletive] and I should end it," Police Chief Ronal Serpas said.

Police earlier had labeled McNair's death a homicide, but awaited further tests and investigation before saying for sure what happened.

McNair, a quarterback for the Tennessee Titans most of his career, met Kazemi six months ago at a restaurant where she was a waitress and his family often ate. She seemed happy and eager to build a life with him, but something went wrong.

Kazemi had recently told an associate that her "personal life was all screwed up." She had mounting debts and her roommate was moving out, which would have doubled her rent.

"We do know that she was clearly sending a message during the last five to seven days of her life that things were going bad quickly," Serpas said, though there was no indication she told anyone she planned to harm McNair.

Serpas said detectives learned that Kazemi recently found out about another young woman she thought McNair was romantically involved with and even followed that woman home, though she did not confront her.

Police believe McNair was asleep on a sofa at a condominium he rented with a friend when Kazemi shot him in the head. She then apparently shot him twice in the chest before shooting him again in the head and then shooting herself.

She sat next to his body and tried to position herself to fall into his lap when she died. She did, but her body slid to the floor and ended up at McNair's feet, Serpas said. The gun was found underneath Kazemi.

Her family told reporters Kazemi was so confident McNair was divorcing his wife of 12 years that she was preparing to sell her furniture and move in with him.

But associate Mike Mu, who has worked with McNair's charitable association for years, said McNair's wife, Mechelle McNair, "didn't know who this girl is." No records of divorce proceedings have surfaced.

Two days before the shooting, police stopped Kazemi driving the Cadillac Escalade sport utility vehicle that McNair gave her for her birthday in May.

According to an arrest affidavit, Kazemi had bloodshot eyes and alcohol on her breath. She refused a breath test and told an officer "she was not drunk, she was high." She was charged with DUI. McNair was with her but not charged. He later made her bail.

Serpas said that even though the Cadillac had both her name and McNair's on the title, she was apparently responsible for making payments. She was also making payments on another car after failing to sell it.

I just love it how the media still presents an outrage everytime a ballplayer is caught cheating on their wife. "Breaking News: Pro-Athlete is adulterer!!!" ....about as surprising as getting wet when you dive into a swimming pool.

Two words: Wilt Chamberlain. Get over it media.

McNair was screwing around behind his wife's back...and he paid the ultimate price b/c of it. I honestly could care less about that crazy biotch or McNair "double-life" right now. I just feel for his wife & those kids....talk about adding insult to injury.

Really, IDK about you guys but I really don't feel as bad about his death after hearing that his gf on the side shot him. Its bad he died but seriously, karma is a b word.

If anything, he brought it upon himself for it by dealing with a mentally burdened woman. She was unstable to say the least
