As the story unfolded it does appear that it is a murder suicide. Another tragic murder of a person who still had their whole life ahead of them to be taken away from his family. Based on the details McNair was having affair with this 20 year old for several months and had also met her family. So it appeared that this relationship may have been serious to the female victim/suspect. She told some of her family members that Steve was going to divorce his wife. Well in her mind she must of thought that they had a future together. Well maybe McNair had some second thoughts about leaving his wife and kids to be with her. This is just my opinion what may have happened but sometimes people snap and do things in the heat of the moment which they may regret. Who ever shot McNair 4 times, 2 to the head was very angry and wanted to make sure he was dead. The female had only 1 fatal gunshot wound to the head which may have lead detectives to believe she pulled the trigger after shooting McNair. We don't know what kind of relationship he had with his wife but his kids are the ones who will greatly miss him. It goes to show you that even pro atheles not only have to worry about random gun violence but also domestic violence is just as dangerous. I think a former Carolina Panther RB was shot and killed by his wife several years back. Does anyone recall who he was. I think his name was Fred Lane. My thoughts and prayers go out to the McNair family. May God comfort you.

I think it was Fred Lane, but I just feel for his family and his 4 kids. On the field I'll remember him as a guy who pave the way for guys like JC and Vince Young. He was truly the first Black dual threat QB and his toughness was unquestioned. It is sad to see he died a violent death (July 4th no less) over a 20 yr girl he had no business being with. He probably never thought his life was going to end in the hands of a 20 yr old girl.


RIP

Not to take anything away from McNair, but Randall Cunningham might have something to say about that.

Definately agree with this part.

"Until the police wrap up their investigation, I'm only willing to acknowledge four victims — McNair's four sons.

I don't know how to classify the adults in this saga — McNair, his wife Mechelle or his 20-year-old girlfriend, Sahel "Jenny" Kazemi.

The kids, they're victims of two horrific crimes: 1. the murder of their father; 2. their father's apparent abandonment so that he had time to wine, dine, vacation and shack up with his jump-off."

McNair definitely didn't deserve to die, we're not in the stone age anymore where we kill people for every little indiscretion. If anything the only just punishment would have been a tarnished image, unfortunately the fact that he was murdered on top of a tarnished image makes this overkill.

Still I'm with the writer on this one, the main victims of this crime are the four children who will never get a chance to see their father again. Of course pro athletes themselves are prone to cheating as one of the major factors in getting in trouble is opportunity (pressure and ability to rationalize are the other two) and being a famous athlete one becomes overwhelmed with oportunity. Later the hormones provide the pressure and the fact that other athletes are doing it provides the rationalization.

Of course the fact remains that a lot of athletes want to have kids but at the same time they don't want to be tied down in a relationship. On top of that a lot of them get married before they're 30 which seems to double the risk of an athlete cheating on a spouse.

If anything the one athlete who has it right is Derick Jeter. The guy knows that he's not ready to seatle down and doesn't pretend to. As a result he's free to conduct himself however he wishes. A-Rod ont he other hand chooses to have kids and ends up finding himself on the front page of the tabloids for hooking up with Madonna.

Anyway I got to go so if I have any other thoughts on this I'll post them later.

You're correct on Jeter. No need to get married until you're ready.

Damn. I wish someone would have told me that years ago!

No wonder I don't want to be married or one of the reasons why I won't get married.

The police have declared it a murder/suicide. Just saw it on ESPN. They believe she shot McNair while he was asleep on the sofa. He didn't even know what was coming.

Probably better that way.

[vallin21]

I saw this coming. I really feel for his 4 kids. It's sad that he had to die such a violent death.

These are the consequences of sticking your "swinging Richard" in all the wrong places.

The police ruling or the whole scenario?

There certainly are consequences to the choices we make. Some more severe than others. One of the reports I heard said the woman thought McNair was seeing another woman. Apparently she didn't mind cheating with him, but she didn't want to be cheated on by him.

Not sure getting murdered is high on the list of typical consequences for cheating.
