There have been a rash of celebrity deaths that have many shaking their heads.
From Michael Jackson to Farrah Fawcett, from Ed McMahon to Billy Mays, the tragedies seem to just keep coming over the course of the last week or two.
Without reason or explanation, people that impacted the world in a host of ways have been taken.
While plenty will argue that the tragedy of one of the above was greater than others, none hit home more than Steve McNair.
McNair was one of the first quarterbacks I vividly remember being drafted, and can recall the importance of his being invited to the Heisman Trophy presentation.
He carried himself with great dignity, and there were never off the field issues that he had to address. McNair was a warrior in the greatest of sense, playing through pain for the benefit of his team. The community work he performed won him awards, but he did not do it for that.
Whatever the reason behind the shooting death, I hope we find that nothing will tarnish the legacy he left. McNair was a fantastic football player and a solid person to his community.
Let us hope that we all remember him that way.
On to the notes.
