I’m sure that isn’t the first article regarding the death of former NFL quarterback, and it most definitely will not be the last.

News broke last week that Steve McNair and a female accomplish were found dead in his downtown Nashville condo, succumbing from multiple gunshot wounds.

McNair is best known for his days with the Tennessee Titans. He famously led the team to one of the greatest Super Bowls in NFL history as the Titans came up one yard short of sending the game into overtime against the Rams.

“Air” McNair retired from the NFL last season as his body just couldn’t take the physical beating any longer. He spent his first 11 NFL seasons with the Titans and his last two with the Baltimore Ravens.

McNair was the perfect example of the quintessential NFL athlete. He was tough, aggressive, played injured, hungry, and had a natural passion for the game.

He was simply a warrior.

As stated by many, he will be sorely missed.

McNair’s death just seems to be the latest in a long list of entertainment losses.
