Few details have emerged yet, but CNN is reporting that QB Steve McNair died a violent death last evening...
R.I.P. Steve, and God bless and best wishes to the family and friends of this great football player and person.
Full Version: R.I.P Steve McNair
This is a weird story... it sounds very much like the 20-year-old girlfriend took his life, and then took her own. But for some reason I'm not buying that. I wouldn't be surprised if there's more to the story, including a third-party that we're not aware of yet.
I would think that Keith Norfleet would at least be 'a person of interest.'

Now more details about Sahel Kazemi are emerging. It appears that when she was arrested on Thursday, that she was arrested by the same officer who arrested McNair on DUI charges in 2003. McNair was with her when she got the DUI in an Escalade registered to them both. According to reports she was "high" and not drunk at the time. That officer's name is Shawn Taylor. The 2003 case was thrown out after a judge ruled Taylor did not have probable cause to stop McNair.
According to public records, Kazemi moved to Nashville from Orange Park, FL and she was an employee of Dave and Busters at Opry Mills mall as was her ex-boyfriend Keith Norfleet.
The link to her arrest affadavit was live yesterday but appears to have been pulled: ccc.nashville.gov/jis-web-affidavit/work/Affidavit-AJPRequestHandler-ApplicationServerThread-72073617801.pdf
The bonding company that bailed her out refused to say if McNair was the one who posted her bond. In a press conference, Don Aaron with Metro Police said McNair was shot multiple times, and Kazemi was shot once in the head. McNair was found seated on the couch. Kazemi was found on the floor in the living room with a pistol near her body.

So this doesn't look great for cuckolded ex Keith Norfleet: "never let anyone or anything come in between you and the one you love because when you do you lose everything." I can't wait for this guy's alibi.
Obviously, you can't implicate someone based on a few newspaper quotes and a MySpace message, but dammit, that's a little eerie considering the circumstances. He finally closed his page to the public, but this guy doesn't seem too eager to keep his name out of this mess.
The only hard evidence police have at this point is that McNair was definitely murdered. Ballistics test are still being conducted to see if Kazemi fired the shots at McNair and herself, but police are adamant that there's still plenty of work and wacky scenarios to sift through before they'll be able to figure this out: "We can't be close-minded," [Police spokesman Don] Aaron said. "All scenarios are on the table."
Oh and there's more creepy quotes from Kazemi's sister/aunt. Sepideh Salmani, courtesy of USA Today:
She probably didn't know who McNair was, Salmani said, until her colleagues at the restaurant told her. Salmani now fears McNair was using her sister, because she was a young woman with a pretty face. She fears jealous people in his life are the reason her sister is dead, and won't live out her dreams.
Her greatest dream, Salmani said, was to be famous.
"I think she is now," she said. "She is everywhere."
Ick. The more non-police people are quoted for this story, the more it turns into that awful Motley Crue ballad.

Alright, everything seemed to get tied up very neatly with the murder-suicide conclusion.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but there were just too many things going on for it to wrap up so easily. I would imagine there are some more details that have not come to light (and may never come to light). I'm sure the police were under pressure to figure this one out quickly with all of the attention it was getting.
Anyway, now that it is over (and all of the nonsense with Michael Jackson), it's time to celebrate the life of Oscar Mayer. I hope he gets as much attention as Jacko did.

Crazy stuff. He was one of the first African American QBs drafted and the team developed him and hitched their wagon to. Absolute Steeler killer. Paved the way for McNabb, Vick, Young, and Freeman. IDK if he`s a HOFer, but he was a heck of a QB.
Pro HOF no, but he has to be in the college HOF, he was Steve Young+Elway+Favre in college one of the top 15-20 players of the last 40 years and the 3rd best college QB, IMHO, of that time period, McMahon and Flutie are the only college QBs I'd put ahead of him.
