I went to Tennessee 2 years ago and I must have been asked 100 times if I would take a picture with them. Yes, I look alot like McNair. I didn’t believe those crazy Tennesseeans until I told my wife and she agreed. When I saw this on the news, my heart actually started pumping a little harder.

Life's too short. Be a fan. Magic, Cards and Rays! What a winning combo.

I lived in the region for a minute.

I didn’t follow him too closely until I was out there, but I quickly became a big fan of him.

I think the lesson here is if you are going to cheat on your wife or signifcant other, then don’t do it with someone who is apparently batsh!t crazy. Especially if said crazy gf wants to go out with guns a-blazin’.

That's my standard second question on a date....

…“will you shoot me when I try to break things off”, right after “are you in a Satanic cult”.

All macabre humour aside, Titans and Ravens will likely have a black “9” on their helmet for the season; do you think the whole league will memorialize McNair for a week as they’ve done for GU, 21, and 40?

We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!

Not sure

I think there is potential, but GU and 40 died with vastly different circumstances than McNair.

If they answer "no" to the Satanic Cult question I usually call it a night right there

The Covenants strictly forbid dating outside of the religion. It would be like a jewish girl dating an irish catholic. This sex would be forbidden and mysterious at first, but the second you poor blood on them its like you took them to a non-kosher deli.

It's not the hand you were dealt; it's how you lay down the cards.

A lesson as true today, as it was...

On a serious note, its an awful, tragic story.

Im glad that the football media has focussed on his football career primarily, and not the circumstances which ultimately conspired to cause his death. RIP Mr. McNair, a ture competitor on the football field.

This man was truly great!

All the Mike Vick’s and Vince Youngs of the world need to take some time to reflect on the life of Steve McNair. Not only did this guy play GREAT on the field, but he was a truly caring individual off the field. R.I.P. Steve McNair
