Thats all it says

thanks.

"FOX called it a double homicide!"

As morbid as this may sound, I hope it is indeed a double homicide and not murder/suicide. The latter always feels that much more tragic and senseless.

I got a friend “in the know” who told me it is a murder/suicide. Won’t say which one was the shooter, though.

WSMV says wife killed him, then killed herself. We’ll see.

Who are the Ravens and the Titans?

Thanks for the update. Probably 'love' gone wrong - if that's true.

He's so young! What a tragic waste of life.

Anyone wondering why FOX and others will keep a helicopter’s camera trained on a stolen van for two and a half hours while news readers speculate on nothing, FR now has 150 comments on a “story” no one knows anything about. A society desperately in search of entertainment. Incredible.

If that's true, that's very surprising.

RIP Air McNair.

His official bio says he has four sons

"...married to wife, Mechelle, 6-21-97 with four sons, Junior, Steven, Tyler, and Trenton"

How sad. The kids seem to have lost both parents.

Who are the Ravens and the Titans?

Most would have assumed they are sports teams I imagine. You could probably find out with a quick google search and keep your sheltered life a secret. The word "quarterback" is a pretty good hint.

[oldvike]

And yet you sit here reading the posts AND posting to the thread. Hypocrite much?

[LA Woman3]

Me too. It is addicting though!

[A message]

I’ve always considered McNair one of the good guys.

[Bratch]

Uh-oh.

WSMV is backtracking now. Won’t confirm wife is killer.

Perhaps it IS a double homicide.

bttt

I was just watching a game I taped from last year where he was the QB. Shocking.

[Ghengis]

I think it was McNair whose mother was a flight attendant who switched flights to be present when Steve signed his contract with the Oilers...saving her life. The flight she missed crashed and all on board were killed.

IIRC, that was Eddie George's mother.

Steve McNair was a very polite Mississippi homeboy.

I met him a few times here in Nashville...very very non pretentious

former Titan QB...and I haven't followed football for 20 years

[dixiebelle]

OMG - how awful.
