Steve McNair found dead

If they verify that it was a murder suicide it is just sad.
 
I feel so badly for his wife, kids, and his family. All of this being played out in public must make it even worse than we could imagine on them. What a shocking story to learn about your spouse or father and what a horrible way to say goodbye.

This is another example of why I try to teach my kids that "hero worshiping" of athletes, actors, politicians, or other celebrities is not a good thing. After all, they are just people who have warts, faults, and are no different than anyone else they know personally and that they might face disappointment from them sometime in their life. Steve McNair was a good football player and a role model in that aspect. However, but he was only a man and nothing more.

:up:up:up Excellent job and could not have said it better myself!
 
Just remember, kids:

No piece of #@#%@#%# is worth it, no matter what "it" is

Funny you mentioned that....I was talking to my co-worker and she was so pissed about this woman. She stated this "little girl" was nothing but greedy. It was bad enough that she had little self respect that she had to date a married man, but now got so pissed that she killed him about it. She said, it only a matter of a few months....she got an Escalade, a condo and trips all over the place....and it still was not enough...did she REALLY expect this guy to leave his wife??!!

...as I stated earlier, a REAL LIFE fata attraction...
 
I heard that he was in the process of getting a divorce.
Not according to the friend who called 911:

I heard this angle yesterday:

Interviews with friends revealed that she was making payments on two cars, her rent was doubling and she suspected the married McNair was having a second affair with another young woman.
