ESPN has confirmed the report.
Former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair has been killed, a source has confirmed to ESPN.com.

McNair, police said, suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head in downtown Nashville.

McNair played 13 seasons in the NFL, 11 were with the Tennessee Titans. He played his final two years with the Baltimore Ravens, retiring after the 2007 season.

Re: Holy Crap! Steve McNair shot to death!!
 
Wow, McNair has easily been one of my favorite QB's from the last decade, it sucks that we have to see more of this crap with NFL players getting killed, then again it sucks that we have to see more crimes like this in general against innocent people. Apparently someone else was shot as well.

"Police said it looked like a double homicide. A female victim was also found dead."

RIP AIr McNair you stud QB.

Yes, JC and SM had a close relationship. JC is from Taylorsville, MS, and McNair was from nearby Mt. Olive. Both became strong-armed NFL qb's despite growing up in rural southern Mississippi.

This was probably a robbery. I kind of feel sorry for Gregg Williams as well this is the second time he's had to deal with the loss of a player.

I found some interesting tidbits on another message board so take them with a grain of salt.

[quote]"Just a FYI to everyone Steve, went to the girls house to make sure she was ok because she said that she was going to kill herself last night!!! I really wish he had never went. But that was the kind of man he was. Although he did his dirty, no matter who you were he would help you out! I really ask that you people give the family peace! We are aware of the bad things he has done but his good has out weighed it. Please people be simpathetic."[/quote][quote][URL="http://www.nashvillecitypaper.com"]Nashville City Paper: Nashville's Online Source for Daily News | Nashville's Online Source for Daily News[/URL]

It's been confirmed for a while now that the woman found dead in the apartment along with Steve McNair was not McNair's wife. McNair's wife was in Mississippi at the time of the shooting.

The woman at the shooting has been confirmed as a 20-year-old and described by CNN as McNair's girlfriend. The strange thing is it's unknown how exactly the case is being handled.

At first it was thought to be a murder-suicide. But now it looks like it could very well be a double-homicide or a double-homicide made to look like a murder-suicide.

Truly bizarre, and we'll have to wait for more to know what really happened. "

[/quote][quote]"I don't know what the situation is...I hope he wasn't cheating on his wife, but a very sad day in Nashville." He surely was cheating on his wife, with a girl that I work with at dave and busters in nashville. Those of us that work with her are hoping and praying that it isnt her that was found with him, even the people who werent her greatest fans..

Also, unless you're willing to judge yourself, don't judge either of them. According to some of her friends at work, she was with him last night so we're really not sure.. and some of those friends claim to have seen her truck on the news where they were found.

Once again, I don't know if its true or not but I'm hoping and praying along with her other co-workers that it isn't her. [/quote][quote]

Can't help but wonder if his wife knew about his girlfriend though...

I'm assuming he has kids as well? Sucks is the only word I can use (and thats not strong enough) that they're going to grow up without a father.

Per the most recent tweet from Redskins Insider:

"During the DUI stop, [URL="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23McNair"]#McNair[/URL] was riding in car with Kazemi. She was booked; he left in a taxi. PD sez she worked at Dave & Buster's. [URL="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23NFL"]#NFL[/URL]"


It looks like the guy on the blog was accurate because they said that she in fact did work at Dave & Busters...poor news for that guy. : (

This is not looking good. I can't imagine what his wife and family are going through. Looks like the girl shot him out of some kind of anger and then turned the gun on herself. In no way shape or form am I saying McNair deserved it but what in the world is he doing buying an Escalade for a 20 year old waitress?? Why is he hanging out and getting drunk w/ a 20 year a few nights before this happened??? Why is he hanging around a 20 year old in the first place?

Locals remember more about McNair than strong throwing arm
Hattiesburg American
July 5, 2009

By ALAN HINTON and JASON MUNZ

Steve McNair passed for 31,304 yards and 174 touchdowns in his NFL career. He was the 2003 NFL co-Most Valuable Player and came within a yard of leading the Tennessee Titans to a Super Bowl victory in 2000.

But there was more to McNair than just a strong right arm.

He was a high school star, a college legend, a pro standout and a Mississippian whom people looked up to almost his entire life.

"After Hurricane Katrina, he sent I don't know how many 18-wheelers of stuff to people on the Coast," said Jay Arrington, a native of Covington County and a friend of McNair, who was raised in Mount Olive. "He always did for the kids and he always did for the underprivileged."

Saturday's death of McNair, 36, who retired from the NFL after the 2007 season, stunned Arrington and other fans throughout the Pine Belt.

"We're still crying," Arrington said. "All of Mount Olive is probably like me, you can't believe it. You cry, why did it have to happen to him? He was so humble. He was just that good ol' guy from Mount Olive. It's been devastating."

McNair's agent, Bus Cook of Hattiesburg, heard about the death in Nashville, Tenn., of his client and an unidentified woman early Saturday afternoon.

"It's just devastating," Cook said. "He was the nicest guy you ever met. There truly was none better."

The Memphis Royals semipro baseball team has been in Hattiesburg this weekend playing in the United States Baseball Congress World Series at Smokie Harrington Park. Some of the team's players were Titans fans.

"He was our first real quarterback," Austin Moody said. "We pulled for him even when he went to Baltimore.

"This is pretty shocking. Unexpected. Disappointing."

Amanda Horvath, 19, of Memphis thought back to last week's death of music icon Michael Jackson.

"So many people are dying," she said. "It goes to show you it doesn't matter who you are, how old you are or how much money you have."

Tootie Myers, a former professional baseball player, knew McNair from when they both were clients of Cook.

"Here's a guy from Mississippi who influenced a lot of guys, both black and white. And he fell at such a young age.

"For the last three weeks, with Michael Jackson and this with Steve, both were young. It shows you that even the best athlete, the best entertainer, could fall at any time. It makes you get closer with the Lord."

McNair sponsored softball teams throughout his adult life and held a free football camp for youngsters at the University of Southern Mississippi only 10 days ago.

He was a fixture on the sideline of Oak Grove football games, where his son Steve McNair Jr. plays.

"I didn't want to believe it at first," said Robert Johnson, a wide receiver on the Oak Grove High School football team. "I had the opportunity to work out with an NFL legend and one of the best quarterbacks to ever play in the league. It was a blessing. He was a great man."

Oak Grove head football coach Nevil Barr also got to know McNair.

"It's just a shock," Barr said. "It's terrible. He was out there at our place about eight or nine days ago, and he was just such a great guy. Such a good man. I thought a lot of him."

"It makes me sad," said Vernis Mackey, 15, a running back for the Alpha Christian School football team, upon hearing the news of McNair's death. "He was a good football player. I liked how he played."

Covington County residents would travel to Nashville to watch McNair when he played for the Titans. McNair, who bought his mother, Lucille, a house near Mount Olive when he signed his first pro contract, would charter a bus to take his old friends and relatives to the games.

"After the games on Sundays, everybody would hang out at the hotel waiting to get on the bus," Arrington said. "He had his two bodyguards with him, and was giving an interview. These kids walked up and he stopped the interview to give autographs to those kids. He was so down to earth."

Re: Steve McNair found shot to death!
 
Remember in the early 90's I went to a football game in my hometown Montgomery, AL and Alabama State (same school me & Tarvaris Jackson went too) Vs. Alcorn State and Steve McNair was the QB for Alcorn. I was a little kid around five or six and Steve played a hell of a game. He couldn't be stop so I started calling Steve "Superman" that was one of the best games I attended in my life. So sad to see Steve go that is two of favorites gone now Sean T. & Superman!!! R.I.P. Steve!!!

I understand that but mess around with someone that is an adult, someone that has their shit together, not a 20 year old who is waiting tables. It just doesn't make sense. He paid the ultimate price for putting himself in that situation.

Re: Steve McNair found shot to death!
 
The Titans being my second favorite team, I've been a big McNair fan for a while now. One of my favorite players ever was when he kept his balance scrambling out of the pocket on the final drive against the Rams to keep the drive going for a chance to win the Super Bowl. This is really a shame for everyone involved. Just goes to show we have no idea what goes in these people's lives off the field.
