R.I.P. Steve McNair 1973-2009

I just got back from a little run over to Georgia and I read headline that I couldn't believe. Steve McNair was found shot to death in Nashville. Of all of the celebrity deaths that have occurred in the past few weeks, this is the one that has impacted me the most.

I have followed the Titans since they moved from Houston to Tennessee just over a decade ago. He has always been one of my favorite players in the league. Not only when he was leading the team that I loved, but even as a Baltimore Raven. He always seemed like a nice guy who was one of the toughest players that ever played game. I will never forget him playing against the Colts with a dislocated finger that was pointing in a direction that fingers just aren't supposed to point. He was also one of those rare quarterbacks who could sit back in the pocket and beat you through the air all day or if that option wasn't available he would destroy you on the ground.

It is a sad day for all Titan fans.
