More on Steve McNair

More is coming in from Nashville on the death of former Tennessee Titans QB, Steve McNair. The woman found dead with McNair was 20 year old Sahel Kazemi. The Nashville police department is currently not searching for any suspects, which is leading many to suspect it could have been a murder-suicide. The Tennessean has excellent and extensive coverage, which you should check out for more details.

Reaction has come in from the readers of the blog of "Bob Alvis Talks Sports".

When I think of Steve McNair, I think of a tremendous leader. From what I've heard he was a great leader in the locker room and many players looked up to him and admired the way he played the game. He always played the game with tremendous passion and toughness, which probably resulted in the many injuries that he obtained throughout his career. Although he wasn't my favorite player, I had lots of respect for McNair because he played the game just as hard as anyone and he showed great amounts of toughness and leadership.

The one memory that stands out just like for most people, was when he took the Titans to the Super Bowl against the Rams. That was one of the greatest Super Bowls ever played with one of the most exciting finishes ever.

When I think Steve McNair, I think of someone who always put the team first. He never looked out for himself, as he always put the team first. McNair was probably one of the few that didn't play the game for the money, he played it because he loved the game. McNair was also a family man. Often times McNair would bring his sons to the practice facility with him. He called them "my greatest accomplishment"

My big Steve McNair memory is the Super Bowl vs. the Rams. Kurt Warner & Steve McNair, two of the most talented and, just all around good guys, going to for the trophy.
RIP Steve, You will be missed.
