Steve McNair dead

Wow! Sure shows you how quick your time here can come to an end. RIP Steve.
 
I thought it was a joke the first time I saw it. He was one of the very few Titans players I respected, may he RIP.

many of us saw his first game live so go spend your time on the jags board if you really want to lecture a fanbase.

Exactly. I was at his first ever preseason game which ironically was in Tennessee, Knoxville to be exact. I even had his jersey by then and was wearing it. All the Tennesseans there were rooting for the Redskins. Funny how things turn out.
 
So very sad... I was absolutely shocked when I heard the news...

R.I.P. Steve McNair, you were a joy to watch on the football field.

My condolences to the McNair family.
 
Very sad, way too young. Great QB and much more importantly seemed like a great person. RIP.

This is the Texans msg board, not the Titans.

I have a Steve McNair jersey.

Take your lecture someplace else.
:foottap:

R.I.P. Steve. My sympathies to his family & friends.
 
Wow.... I loved it when we drafted Mcnair. I remember being so excited at the thought of him and George being the new faces of the Oilers. I still have his jersey stashed away in my storage building. It was the first jersey I ever purchased. RIP Steve. :(

Ditto!
 
Way too young, what a shame. All the violence involving current and former players in the NFL really is getting scary. Looks like they're all big targets because of their fame and wealth. Sad.

Wow. How horrible.

I remember a game that Steve played where he and Ray Lewis were going at it...Steve played very well that game even though he was on the decline.

So darn tough.

I'm assuming it's at those townhomes on the corner.
Still shocked, and according to the map right across from the stadium.

It was in one of those condos, but the stadium is in downtown and they have a small downtown so its pretty close.
 
Yeam, my uncle in Nashville called us about it about an hour ago. Really sad.

Reports are it was a murder-suicide.

WSMV says his wife killed him and than shot herself
 
This is what I posted upon Steve McNair's retirement. Still seems appropriate.

It was much easier for me to root against the Titans once Eddie George & Steve McNair left the team. I have tons of respect for both, as they played the game the way it was meant to be played. I don't know if McNair will make the HOF, but he's a HOFer in my mind. Maybe not a great passer, ala a Fouts or Moon, but a great football player. He will be missed.

He will be missed. RIP, Steve.
 
RIP Steve. I still own his No. 9 jersey in columbia blue. I was very very excited when he was drafted by the Oilers. I remember he threw a football 75-80 yards against the wind in college and I was so in awe. RIP.
 
Man, I'm really hurting over this one. McNair grew up in the Pine Belt region of Mississippi just as I did. I followed his entire career from his record breaking performances at Alcorn to Houston and Tennessee. This is both sad and unbelievable at the same time. McNair by all accounts was a stand-up guy. I knew guys back home that played on his softball team. He was big into softball back home. I've never heard on person utter one bad word about him. He was known back home as a guy who loved to enjoy himself. He would have get-togethers at his ranch and order a whole beer truck for the party! Man, I'm just deeply saddened by this. My respects go out to his family. The state of Mississippi will miss you Steve! You were one of her finest sons ever. Rest in peace
 
I watched McNair play agaist the Lions when Barry Sanders was with the Lions . I'm not sure if that but he came into the game in the 2nd half and rallied the Oilers .
 
I remember coming across the fact that McNair recently opened a restaurant in Nashville.

“I always wanted to retire and teach kids about life, and I’m still doing that with my camps,’’ McNair said. “This is something that I can still give back to the community. A lot of college students don’t have the funds to go to (upscale) restaurants, but we can still offer them good food, healthy food they can afford.’’


The restaurant has a bit of a college, come-as-you-are type feel to it, not big, but relaxed.


“We want to know (customers), their name, what they eat and drink,’’ McNair said. “If I’m in town, I’ll be here every day.’’


McNair plans to open additional Gridiron9 locations. He’ll first look to expand at other areas in and around Nashville and then, perhaps, in McNair’s home state of Mississippi.

McNair will be missed by those who loved him and those who respected him.
 
R.I.P. Steve McNair

Oiler, Titan, Raven.... whatever he was, he was a man who people respected and admired, and he will be missed.
 
Really sad to hear about Steve McNair. I loved to watch the guy play. Tough as nails. What a tragic and early end to his life. I'm shocked. We need more players in the NFL like McNair. RIP Steve. You will always be remembered as one of the greats and certainly one of the toughest.
 
I saw Steve play when Alcorn State made a visit to Hunstville, Tx to play Sam Houston. I walked from my dorm to the stadium to see what all the fuss was about with this QB. Steve had just come out on the cover of Sports Illustrated. The stadium was full because of that cover. He put on a great show and passed for over 300 yrds. I'll never forget it.

R.I.P Steve

Geeeezzzzz, I can't believe you made that post! Kinda pisses me off!! This is definitely not the time for smack talk, and I don't believe any TEXAN fan would mouth off about something this sad. Steve was a rival football player, but, first of all, he was a father, son, and friend!! A very sad day for the McNair family, as well as Titan, Raven, and YES, old Oiler fans. May God give his family the strength they will need to get through this terrible time.
 
Steve McNair was a fine athelete and hard-working QB who played for my beloved Oilers. Always had a smile on his face and was one of the best when it came to contributing his time to his community.

R.I.P. Air McNair

This is shocking. RIP Stevie. I wasn't an Oilers fan, but you were a stand up QB and meant a lot to this city.
 
BA, they only have ill will towards Bud, he made the decision.

I'm in disbelief right now. I keep watching ESPN and everytime I see it in print it shocks me again. He's a big reason I became a fan.
 
Terrible news. I'm just so sorry to hear this. I used to curse Steve McNair non-stop when we were playing the Titans because it seemed like no matter what you did to him or how hard you came he would find a way to do something with it and move the team forward. I grew to hate him but it was that "hate" you reserve for a player you really respect. Maybe "dread" is more the word I'm looking for.
