Default RIP Steve Mcnair

It's been a long week for celebrity deaths, but in case you haven't heard, former NFL QB Steve McNair was shot to death in Nashville today. Here's a link from ESPN.Former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair found dead of gunshot wound - ESPN

"Blame it on the 4th of July.... still this thread exists.."

I'm guessing here. But I think this forum is open to a thread like this. Read the intro that explains the "hangar talk" forum.

I was just reporting news. I assume most pilots have some sort of life outside of aviation; I know I do. While it's nothing to obsess over, it is newsworthy. A tragic event for sure, but speculation and hype are almost pointless.

Unfortunately it's really starting to look that way. Tragic. I guess the mistress may have decided that, "If I can't have you.....nobody will".

I just have to ask one question though....."What in the hell was he thinking"? Dealing with someone as young and probably emotionally unstable as she was. JMO & thoughts though.

Exactly. Is a little strange worth it? Get shot 4 times in a nashville condo, destroy your rep as a good guy, now your 4 sons and wife have to live with the legacy of how you died, as well as the absence of a father, for what?


Those High Maintenance 20 somethings are dangerous.

ATP,


I know exactly what he was thinking! Unfortunately it was not nearly as good and wholesome as he portrayed himself to be.

In honor of McNair and those four shots McDonalds is offering a new sandwhich called the McRiddle. The McRiddle combo can be "supersized' for just four dollars. For the kids, McDonalds is offering a happy meal for one dollar called the McOrphan Happy Meal.
