It appears he and a female companion were shot to death in Nashville, Tenn. He is survived by a wife and four children. It tears at my heart.

God rest his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed.

DEVELOPING: Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair was killed Saturday in a shooting in Nashville.

A medical examiner confirmed to local FOX affiliate WZTV that McNair was found dead after police responded to a shooting in the city, though the circumstances of the shooting weren't immediately clear, as Nashville police continue to investigate.

McNair, 36, played 13 seasons in the NFL, most of them with the Tennessee Titans organization, which he joined when the team was still the Houston Oilers. He led the Titans to the Super Bowl in 2000, but lost the game to the St. Louis Rams.

Titans owner Bud Adams issued a brief statement Saturday, calling McNair "one of the finest players to play for our organization and one of the most beloved players by our fans. He played with unquestioned heart and leadership and led us to places that we had never reached, including our only Super Bowl."

McNair went to the Pro Bowl four times, and in 2003, he was named league co-MVP, along with Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. McNair spent his final two years in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens before retiring in 2008.

RIP, Steve. He was a class act, and one of the toughest QBs ever to play the game. One of my favorites too. I hope they get the bum who did this.

Shocked to hear the news about McNair...he was definitely a class act as a football player, and I hope his family can find some peace.

It's cool. I only posted links, while you posted actual text from the story. Let's merge the threads!

He was a Pretty Upstanding guy, I'd be surprised if he did anything that brought this on. Probably just a robbery gone Bad. What a tragic end to such a great player and gentleman.

Man, oh, man.....I hated seeing that this had happened.  From what I can tell over the years of watching him, I definitely agree with others here that he seemed like a solid guy.  I can still remember when he got drafted out of Alcorn State way back in '95. *sigh* RIP, Steve

This was one tough dude. I had him for like 3 seasons in a row in Fantasy, and every single week he was a game-time decision with some injury, and it never was the same week-to-week. He was a professional quarterback who could lead a team, regardless of how big the moment was (remember he basically led the Titans on the winning super bowl drive - if that dude could have stretched out a bit more, he would have won the SB).

Damn, didn't know the exact details when I first posted. I echo 'Stroke's sentiment, I hope his family can find some peace.

It would have tied the game, at the very least, and potentially have won it if they went for 2.  The final score was 23-16. 

But that's not his point.  He was speaking towards McNair's poise under the MOST pressured situations.
