NECN: Nashville, Tenn.) - Former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair was found shot dead, suffering a fatal gunshot wound to the head in downtown Nashville, according to a report by NewsChannel5.com.

The report cited police as saying that the body of a female was found and that it appeared to be a double homicide.

McNair played 11 seasons with the Titans franchise, two while the team was located in Houston and known as the Oilers.

He played his final two season with the Baltimore Ravens before retiring after the 2007 campaign.

According to Darren Rovell (his tweets)

It was first thought as murder-suicide (him being killed before her turning gun on herself), but now is a double homicide, but that is unconfirmed as well.

WTF, god sad news.

RIP

Crap I just saw this... sad, very sad.

Things that people do! Such a waste of life.

Some more details.

The girl who died was 20.

According to the people who live near the condo, he was a frequent visitor to the house.

He was shot multiple times and she was shot just once.

It sounds like McNair was having an affair away from his wife and 4 kids, and she killed him and then herself. Or it was her boyfriend doing it.

If you are at work, be careful how far down the page you scroll :eek: If you're not, enjoy yourself:D

Have to put a brief halt on the Jets bashing as I liked what Rex Ryan said about McNair:

Quote:

"Steve was special and as tough and competitive of a guy that I have ever been around. As soon as we got him in Baltimore, he gave our team instant confidence and I was fortunate to be around him for two seasons. As great of a player as he was, it was more of an honor to know him as a person. My heart and prayers go out to his family."

Family of the young lady who died alongside McNair are accusing a 3rd party of being involved. Whereas the police are basically saying that it is a murder- suicide.

Floyd Reese (Patriots Advisor, ex GM of the Titans) gave this comment:

Quote:

“I am deeply saddened to learn of today’s tragic news regarding the death of Steve McNair. He was a player who I admired a great deal. He was a tremendous leader and an absolute warrior. He felt like it was his responsibility to lead by working hard every day, no matter what. I don’t think there was a player who played with him or against him that didn’t look up to him and respect him. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, his friends and the many teammates who loved and admired him.”

And Vince Young, who IMHO would be a better QB had he had some time behind McNair, had this to say:

Quote:

I'm still in shock since hearing the news yesterday," Young said in comments released by the Titans. "I spent all afternoon and night thinking about my life on and off the field with Pops. Since I was a teenager, he was like a father to me. I hear his advice in my head with everything I do. Life will be very different without him."

Just seen - they are on the road week one. Oh well.

How close is Oakland?!

With my lack of geographical skills, I think it's next to it isn't it?

Pretty close, for America, not that close for the UK!
