Air McNair

Sadly, we lost another celebrity on Saturday morning. 36 year-old Steve McNair was murdered along with his friend, Saleh Kazemi, in downtown Nashville, TN.

Most people know McNair as Steve "Air" McNair. He wowed us for 13 years in the NFL with his toughness, durability and leadership. It has been said that McNair was a great friend to many, and a role model to many more. He carried himself the right way, gave back to the community, was a loving father of four, as well as a devoted husband (I will get to this in a minute).

When the news hit that McNair suffered four fatal gunshots, two to the head and two to the chest, hearts were broken all over the country. Long time friend Eddie George came to tears in an interview when discussing how he felt about the news.

It is certain that tons of people are affected in some way by this tragic incident, but the case still has many questions. Who murdered McNair? Did Saleh Kazemi kill McNair, and then commit suicide? Why was McNair dating Kazemi if he is married? Why was McNair so open in public about being with this girl? These are all questions that have yet to be answered. It is sad that we had to find out some of these negative things about McNair through his death, but regardless of what McNair may have been doing in his personal life, he touched many lives and was a memorable football player. His career and life deserve to be celebrated. R.I.P. Steve LaTreal McNair (February 14, 1973 - July 4, 2009).
