Steve McNair Shot to Death

[YoFuggedaboutit]

Just saw on the news that the girl had bought the gun two days earlier according to the girl's nephew.

Duh.     No big revalation there.  But I'll wait to discuss it further until the "official" word is in if makes ya all feel better........

Something smells fishy about this.  I think McNair's wife knew the affair was going on, and possibly allowed it for some reason.  I haven't heard any reports that she was shocked by the incident, and according to reports, he was at the apartment several times a week.  How do you explain that to your wife?

[Defense54]

She definitely knew about something going on. But when you have 4 kids and live in a 14,000 square foot home you tend to let "boys be boys" as long as he comes home.  Doesn't mean anything fishy was going on . So many people are going to create theories and try to spin this because it makes it more interesting to sell.   In fact the reason he was probably shot in the first place was because he was going to call it off and wanted the Cadillac Escalade back.  Her facebook pics show her proudly displaying that car.......a huge status symbol for a 20 yr old girl.

You all can more of this if you want, but it is what it is.  He gave a ball to a dog that didn't want to give it back.  This dog didn't play.  Its a sad tragic end to a Great player and probably a good dad. He didn't deserve to die for banging a piece of Young strange, but he probably shouldn't have spoiled her and led her on either.

I'm going to agree with GoCowboys here.  I hope other rich pro athletes look at McNair's situation and think twice before stepping out on their wives.  You never really know who you're dating.

Even in comic books a lot of the super heros have serious flaws.

I see the moral patrol is out in full force.

No surprise there.

Bottom line is, we don't know the circumstances of McNair's private affairs. We don't know a thing about his relationship with his wife, for example. There are certainly indications that the two could very well have been separated (house up for sale, Steve McNair taking the kids on vacation to Mexico without the mother). Who the hell are we to judge him and say that he "stepped out" etc? Doesn't seem like he was "sneaking around" - and even if he were, I'm not sure I see how that's any of our business.

[Defense54]

I don't think he was sneeking about. If so he's about as subtle as Paris Hilton in a Mens Locker Room.  But he picked the wrong chick to Spoil with gifts for some Oinky oinky  and then try to take it away............

They still haven't ruled her death a suicide. 

One possiblity is it was suicide and the cops are just going slow.....

The other is their was a third person, who shot McNair 4 times and her once in the side of the head at close range and left the gun next to her to make it look like a suicide.

The splatter patterns and gun powder residue should tell the police if she fired the gun or was just made to look like it. 

If it was the suicide the cops have nothing to gain by delaying saying so...if it was a murder the could be holding off to keep the murderer talking.  You don't have to marada someone unless they are arrested or charged and as long as the murderer thinks he is getting away with it he/she will keep talking not to raise suspicions of wanting a lawyer and act like a coopertive witness.

Whatever the circumstances of this case, it's gotta be pretty horrific for his children. I hope they have a responsible adult to turn to in their time of grieving.

^ for example, their mother

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

^^ assumes that she is not the murderer or hired someone to kill her husband and his lover. 

[StL FinFan]

Unless or until there is evidence that she is involved, I will choose to believe that she was not.

It's being reported now that it was indeed a murder/suicide.  Men, watch who you fool around with and who you lie to.  McNair is as much to blame for this as his girlfriend.  I am not saying he deserved to die, but he knew what he was doing.  Women, take care of yourselves and your own business so you don't have to rely on a man to keep you.
