Found shot in the head, in a condo with a 20 year old also dead, while the wifey is out of town. so how are we supposed to take this? First of all ESPN only showed you a driveway and a gated condo so for you to say it looked like he could have bought drugs there is stupid. The condo is in walking distance from the country music hall of fame and the Titan stadium. You can stand on the balcony and see them both so that gives you an idea of the property value. No one knows why he was there so why jump to conclusion as if he was cheating on his wife. Anything is possible because we are all human but why pass judgement so fast. As for his character as a person in the community, towards fans, and former teammates, you will hear nothing good things about him. Everytime he came into my place of employment, he was the nicest celebrity you will ever meet and so down to earth. Always signing autographs, doing positive things in the community, and helping those who are in need. He just opened are restaurant in the black community and a person on the news said he was feeding the homeless out of it. If it was someone like pacman jones or brandon marshall I could care less what you say but I will not let you say anything negative about Steve McNair without me defending him.

I'm just an outsider looking in on ESPN. No I don't know the area wherein the condo resides. I really never even kept up with McNair that closely, so I'll take your word on everything you mentioned above. I really didn't know much about his personal life. But to say this isn't a little suspicious or doesn't sound right or WTF? Best case scenario of story.......? Craziest case of scenario......? Rational case of scenario.....?

I was just bringing up the craziest case of scenario. You weren't out of line with your suspicions. Everytime anyone dies everyone wonders what the real reason is. Billy Mays couldn't have just had a heart attack, it had to be from the rough landing he went through on the plane. Michael Jackson couldn't have just went into cardiac arrest, there had to be foul play. It's normal to wonder what happened. As great of a person as McNair was he was somewhere he had no business being and unfortunatly that was one of the factors that went into his death. Luckily we/the fans, don't care about extra marital affairs and he'll be remembered for the things he did on the field and the good things he did off the field for people.

DWYN 0 Posted July 5, 2009 I think he may have been stepping out on his wife. It doesn't take away from his sportmanship on the field. He's human and makes mistakes too. Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair(notes), who led the famous Tennessee Titans’ drive that came a yard short of forcing overtime in the 2000 Super Bowl, was found dead Saturday with multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the head. Police said a pistol was discovered near the body of a woman also shot dead in a downtown condominium. Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron identified the woman as 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi, whom he called a “friend” of McNair’s. She had a single gunshot wound to the head. Police said the 36-year-old McNair was found on the sofa in the living room, and Kazemi was very close to him on the floor. Aaron said the gun was not “readily apparent” when police first arrived. Autopsies were planned for Sunday. Aaron said McNair’s wife, Mechelle, is “very distraught.” “At this juncture, we do not believe she is involved,” he said. “Nothing has been ruled out, but as far as actively looking for a suspect tonight, the answer would be no.” He said he did not know who Kazemi was. The bodies were discovered Saturday afternoon by McNair’s longtime friend, Wayne Neeley, who said he rents the condo with McNair. Aaron said Neeley told authorities he went into the condo, saw McNair on the sofa and Kazemi on the floor but walked first into the kitchen before going back into the living room, where he saw the blood. Neeley then called a friend, who alerted authorities. Police said a witness saw McNair arrive at the condo in the upscale Rutledge Hill neighborhood between 1:30 and 2 a.m. Saturday and that Kazemi’s vehicle was already there. The condominium is located within walking distance of an area filled with restaurants and nightspots, a few blocks from the Cumberland River and within view of the Titans’ stadium. Two days ago, Nashville police arrested Kazemi on a DUI charge while driving a 2007 Escalade registered to her and McNair. McNair was in the front seat, but didn’t break the law and was allowed to leave by taxi. The arrest affidavit said Kazemi had bloodshot eyes and the smell of alcohol on her breath, but refused a breathalyzer test, saying “she was not drunk, she was high.” http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-m...p&type=lgns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like you could pick up some drugs at this place. Like I said in another thread - An NFL player makes a lousy decision. Thats NOT new. Im sure all week we'll hear about what a great guy McNair was and all that BS. Apparently he was cheating on his wife with some skank and prolly picking up a bag of crack to boot. Great, Steve.

Sho Nuff 719 Posted July 5, 2009 Several stories I have seen that the wife knew about the girl anyway. She had a car registered to both her and McNair. Im not going to judge the man for that...just to remember him for what he did on the field and in the community. We all have our faults...I don't agree with that part of his life...but won't condemn the man for it either. Sad day in Nashville. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wait...he is shot multiple times, she has one gunshot to the head, the pistol is next to her...and NOW they are ruling out murder-suicide? These police aren't the brightest. After cancelling their murder-suicide suspicions despite the seemingly obvious clues, they are now leaning that direction again. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair's death has been classified a homicide, but the death of Sahel Kazemi, the woman found alongside him in his downtown condominium, remains unclassified, Nashville police said. Autopsies were conducted early Sunday, and McNair was found to have suffered four gunshot wounds -- two to the head, and two to the chest, police spokesman Don Aaron said during an afternoon news conference. Kazemi, 20, had one gunshot wound, to the head, according to police. A semiautomatic pistol was found under her body later during processing of the crime scene, and there was no sign of forced entry, police said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Gladstone 33 Posted July 5, 2009 The only bad decision he made was focking a crazy chick. I'm all for tapping young ass on the side, especially if you are rich and famous. If the wife doesnt like it, take half and leave. You just have to look out for the obsessive ones. I feel terrible for his sons though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROCKET 0 Posted July 5, 2009 Before everyone starts labeling him as a cheating husband it might be wise to let all the facts come out first. There are already reports that his marriage was on the rocks and a divorce was imminent. For all we know his wife knew he was out with this woman and they were on the outs anyways. She was in another state and not sitting at home waiting for him. Relationships go bad all the time and it's ridiculous to speculate about the situation at this point. It's unfortunate he got involved with an unstable woman who most likely took his life. All the criticism of McNair may well be unwarranted and the outcome of this is a tragedy regardless if he was cheating or not. There are four children out there somewhere without a father tonight and another family somewhere mourning a daughter/sister's loss. RIP Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,182 Posted July 5, 2009 I don't label him a bad guy. For all we know the wife knew about his GF and the marriage was nearly over anyway. Even if it wasn't there are much worse things... For all the good he did in the community I wont label him a terrible guy because of this. He didn't wake up in the morning and execute several dogs as far as I know.

RIP Steve Kind of funny, you say don't "Label him as a cheating husband". You don't think we should speculate on whether or not he was a cheater. Yet, you on to say "he got involved with an unstable woman who most likely took his life". That is speculation as well. Maybe she was a great person with very good stability in her life. A third party may have entered and shot them both. McNair's wife? The girls boyfriend? Who knows? I'm not saying you said anything wrong, simply pointing out that we all speculate when things like this happen. Most of us speculate he was cheating. You speculate she was unstable. There is no difference. McNair was a good guy for the most part who seems to have made the wrong decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
