Goddamnit Steve McNair!
Jul 07th 09
When I was texted that he passed away with another woman last week, I replied to my good friend a mantra that I have imbued upon many over my short life-time:
” Most people die over money or women; and most occurs the latter.”
That went through my mind the second I heard that Mcnair got shot twice in the head. This guy has money, and he doesn’t ever promote a lifesyle that he is wasting it or using it in the wrong fashion.
And double upon that, he wasn’t not only with his wife, but he was in company with a woman nearly half his age.
It hurts. I know people cheat. But it does hurt to think ( and hopefully this isn’t true ) that his infidelity might of lead to a crime of passion. I don’t believe his wife has any involement, but would be least surprised that whoever had committed this crime was known by the younger female.
Steve, you were the best. A clutch quarterback, always played hurt, never dissed your teammates, walked off the field, did pushups under the Drew Rosenhaus’s daft publicity stunts, or slam a stripper’s head onto a stage.
He was football at its best. And he went out on top. I know, very long after this sad event is settled, I will still remember you for the memories you and the Oilers/Titans teams gave me over the last decade. Take care, buddy.
Also, a lesson for the infidelitous: these situations happen, remember if you are with someone that is with someone else, there is a chance that you will get your ass kicked or fucked up worse. It can happen to anybody.
