INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE IT WAS MURDER SUICIDE!WhenSteve McNairdied from multiple gunshot wounds in aNashvillecondominium Saturday, an incident Nashville police hinted may have been a murder-suicide committed by his girlfriend, he took with him the image of an unyielding competitor, a tough-as-nails quarterback who fought through pain, discrimination and some of the toughest defenses inNFLhistory.
The images McNair left were indelible: His face in a twisted grimace after a devastating hit, from which he always managed to get up, always managed to keep going; limping on a badly damaged ankle; holding an aching shoulder; a sternum bruised so badly he had to be hospitalized.
"If you were going to draw a football player, the physical part, the mental part, everything about being a professional, he is your guy," said former Titans andRavenscornerback Samari Rolle, who played with McNair on both teams. "I can't even wrap my arms around it. It is a sad, sad day. The world lost a great man today."
Nashville police hinted that McNair's death may have been the result of a murder-suicide committed by 20-year-oldSahel Kazemi, who was found with a single gunshot wound to the head a few feet from McNair's bullet-riddled body. The two had reportedly been dating for four months, though McNair was married.
McNair, 36, never won the Super Bowl but got awfully close, leading theTennessee Titansto seven victories in their last nine games of the 1999 season, good for a 13-3 record and second place in theAFC Central. "The man had ice running through his veins. He was so cool under pressure, so calm," saidEddie George, the star running back from that team. "He never raised his voice, never lost his composure. ... He would just go in there and get hit from every angle and get up grimacing and out of breath, limping back, but not once did he ever fold and say that I can't go today."

Another great "role model" *rolls eyes*
I wish parents would direct their children to real heroes, i.e. Our military men & women, not these egomaniac jerks.
bonz22, no worries, good parents do...everyone sins...everyone...good people do bad things all the time, even you! just bc one is in the military does not mean they will not cheat on their wives or husbands...you do know that right?
Yeah, nothing like role models beating the shit out of their spouses...More from a recent article:
Domestic violence happens so much in the military that the Department of Defense has made it an item of specific concern. First Sergeants and military police absolute hate domestic call-outs because the solutions are never clear cut. More often than not, the victims of domestic violence refuse to cooperate because they perceive a threat to their spouse's career.
***********************************
The purpose of this reality check for Bonz22 is to show there is no perfect person. Not even those in the military. Kids should take bits and pieces from everyone to become a whole person. But this higher standard crap just ain't gonna work. Sorry Bonz22.
How would the gun end up underneath her?
