A car registered to Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi, 20, was stopped two days ago on Broadway.

The driver, Kazemi, was charged with driving under the influence and violating the state’s implied consent law. The car was a 2007 black Cadillac Escalade.

Earlier today, a black Escalade was towed from the condominium complex on Second Avenue where McNair and a female who has not yet been identified by police were found dead this afternoon.

It is not clear whether this is the same vehicle involved in the DUI arrest.

Steve McNair is married to Mechelle McNair, who police have confirmed is not the victim.

goddamn it.

^^^ OTM. This makes me so sad.

I hope this doesn't turn out to be some domestic rage thing, i.e. Mechelle McNair killing the both of them.

Maybe I watch too much crime tv.

Now it's gone back from 'double homicide' to 'murder suicide' after being reported as a 'murder suicide' in the first place. :(

Q!!!!

Oh shit, this is the last guy I thought would die like this. Always liked him, the way he approached the game, how he acted off the field.

oh my god. :(

Former NFL star quarterback Steve McNair was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds in a Nashville condominium Saturday - and authorities hinted he was murdered by a girlfriend who then turned the gun on herself.

Cops discovered McNair's bullet-riddled body slumped on a sofa inside his rented condo's blood-spattered living room, authorities said.

A woman McNair was reportedly dating, identified as Sahel Kazemi, 20, was found dead only a few feet away with a single bullet wound to the head. A gun was lying nearby, Nashville police said.

"At this moment nothing has been ruled out, but as far as actively looking for a suspect tonight, the answer would be no," Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron said.

It remained unclear what might have triggered the slaying, Aaron added.

McNair, 36, who was married and had four children, had reportedly been dating Kazemi for a few months. They met at a Dave & Buster's restaurant where Kazemi worked, her former boyfriend told the Tennessean newspaper.

Neighbors of Kazemi told the paper they often spotted McNair visiting her apartment. At times, she returned home in a black limousine, and not long ago, she showed up with a brand new Cadillac Escalade she said was a gift from her boyfriend.

"She is the sweetest girl, and she did not deserve this," Kazemi's ex-beau, Keith Norfleet, told the newspaper upon learning of her death. "He was making her believe they were going to be together, and everything would be perfect."

Cops were alerted to the deaths by a longtime friend of the ex-Tennessee Titans great after he walked into the grisly scene about 1:30 p.m.

McNair was spotted returning to his condo about 2 a.m. Saturday, Nashville police said.

Fred McNair, Steve McNair's oldest brother, said family members likely will travel to Nashville tomorrow to comfort the beloved gridiron star's wife.

"It's still kind of hard to believe," Fred McNair said. "He was the greatest person in the world. He gave back to the community. He loved kids and he wanted to be a role model to kids."

Authorities said McNair's wife, Mechelle, was devastated. "Mrs. McNair obviously is very, very distraught by what has taken place," Aaron said.

McNair and Kazemi were inside a 2007 black Cadillac Escalade, registered to both of them, on Thursday when cops pulled over the vehicle and charged her with driving under the influence, Nashville police said.

Kazemi had bloodshot eyes and the smell of alcohol on her breath but she refused a Breathalyzer test because "she was not drunk, she was high," according to the affidavit.

McNair, who recently opened a restaurant in Nashville, was not arrested.

His shocking death prompted a flood of tributes from former coaches, players, NFL execs and even the governor of Tennessee.

"He was one of the finest players to play for our organization and one of the most beloved players by our fans," Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams said.

"He played with unquestioned heart and leadership and led us to places that we had never reached, including our only Super Bowl."

Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen also mourned the loss of the man who led the Titans to the Super Bowl 10 years ago.

"Andrea and I were very saddened by the news of Steve McNair's death," Bredesen said. "He has always felt like part of the Nashville family, and he will be sorely missed."

The hard-nosed QB played 13 seasons in the NFL before retiring from the league last April.

A three-time Pro Bowl pick, "Air" McNair played college football at Alcorn State before joining the Houston Oilers as the third overall pick in the 1995 NFL draft.

McNair played 11 seasons with the Titans, who moved from Houston, leading the team to the Super Bowl in 1999. The Titans lost that game in heartbreaking fashion when McNair completed a pass near the St. Louis Rams' goal line in the contest's waning seconds, but receiver Kevin Dyson failed to cross the line.

McNair was the co-MVP of the league in 2003, sharing the award with Peyton Manning. That year, McNair threw for 3,215 yards and 24 touchdowns with only seven interceptions.

McNair played his final two seasons with the Baltimore Ravens.

The Mississippi native led the Ravens to a 13-3 record in 2006. But he injured his groin during the season opener in 2007 and never regained his Pro Bowl form. He retired last April.

"He was a tremendous leader and an absolute warrior," said New England Patriots senior football adviser Floyd Reese, who was GM of the Titans when McNair played there. "He felt like it was his responsibility to lead by working hard every day, no matter what."

Samari Rolle, who played with McNair on the Ravens and Titans, described him as the perfect football player. "If you were going to draw a football player, the physical part, the mental part, everything about being a professional, he is your guy," Rolle said. "I can't even wrap my arms around it. It is a sad, sad day. The world lost a great man today."

In June, McNair opened a restaurant near the Tennessee State University campus called Steve McNair's Gridiron9.

"I always wanted to retire and teach kids about life, and I'm still doing that with my camps," McNair told the Tennessean last week. "This is something that I can still give back to the community."

This is totally screwed up.

McNair was a hell of a football player.

so the girlfriend wanted him to leave his wife and he said no?

wtf @ the ex-boyfriend who popped up twenty minutes after the bodies were found with crazy details of what was going on in the relationship? that guy is now grossing me out.

^^^fmr titans wr derrick mason.

cankles wanted me to post this story, from a friend of his:

2002 AFC Championship game. I had a lil ritual of shit talking specific targets pregame because they had to stretch out in the endzone where I sat. Steve-o's momma had recently been popped for DUI with his kids in the car so I figured that would be his sore spot. Started in with the usual shit: You suck. You're gonna get fucked up. etc. which he rightfully no sold. He was whispered something to Eddie George which made them both laugh so I said AY STEVIE, IF YOUR MOMMA HAS TOO MUCH TO DRINK DURING THE GAME JUST HOLLA AND I'LL GIVE HER AND YOUR KIDS A RIDE HOME to which he responded with a country-as-all-hell THE FUCK YOU SAY ABOUT MY MOMMA, BITCH? and starts heading towards me. So now I was thinking FUCK, GONNA HAVE TO FIGHT STEVE MCNAIR. Luckily, Eddie George grabbed him and basically hog collared him. McNair then yelled at one of the ushers and pointed me out and said something along the lines of YOU LET PIECES OF SHIT LIKE THAT IN HERE TO INSULT PEOPLE LIKE ME? THE FUCK IS WRONG WIT CHALL? The usher(who we all knew by name) came up to me and very sarcastically said "Mr. McNair has respectfully denied your request to drive his family home and has asked that in the future you please refrain from saying such hilarious things for fear of hurting his feelings". Then the Raiders went out and pushed his shit in. Those were the days.

If I remember correctly, that AFC Championship game featured a halftime performance by Run DMC with a guest rap by the guy from Third Eye Blind.

jam master jay also killed by a gun. from Somewhere.

There's always a gun somewhere.

Good story Omar.

no thread for shlumpy passed out guys?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Police confirmed Wednesday that ex-NFL star Steve McNair's 20-year-old girlfriend killed him before turning the gun on herself.

They said they may never know what was going through Sahel Kazemi's mind when she shot McNair in his condominium early Saturday, but interviews with friends indicated she was becoming increasingly distraught over events in her life, including financial problems. Police said she also suspected McNair was seeing another woman.

She told a friend on Friday that "My life is a ball of s--- and I should end it," Police Chief Ronal Serpas said.

Police earlier had labeled McNair's death a homicide, but awaited further tests and investigation before saying for sure what happened.

McNair, a quarterback for the Tennessee Titans most of his career, met Kazemi six months ago at a restaurant where she was a waitress and his family often ate. She seemed happy and eager to build a life with him, but something went wrong.

Kazemi had recently told an associate that her "personal life was all screwed up." She had mounting debts and her roommate was moving out, which would have doubled her rent.

"We do know that she was clearly sending a message during the last five to seven days of her life that things were going bad quickly," Serpas said, though there was no indication she told anyone she planned to harm McNair.

Serpas said detectives learned that Kazemi recently found out about another young woman she thought McNair was romantically involved with and even followed that woman home, though she did not confront her.

Police believe McNair was asleep on a sofa at a condominium he rented with a friend when Kazemi shot him in the head. She then apparently shot him twice in the chest before shooting him again in the head and then shooting herself.

She sat next to his body and tried to position herself to fall into his lap when she died. She did, but her body slid to the floor and ended up at McNair's feet, Serpas said. The gun was found underneath Kazemi.

Her family told reporters Kazemi was so confident McNair was divorcing his wife of 12 years that she was preparing to sell her furniture and move in with him.

But associate Mike Mu, who has worked with McNair's charitable association for years, said McNair's wife, Mechelle McNair, "didn't know who this girl is." No records of divorce proceedings have surfaced.

Two days before the shooting, police stopped Kazemi driving the Cadillac Escalade sport utility vehicle that McNair gave her for her birthday in May.

According to an arrest affidavit, Kazemi had bloodshot eyes and alcohol on her breath. She refused a breath test and told an officer "she was not drunk, she was high." She was charged with DUI. McNair was with her but not charged. He later made her bail.

Serpas said that even though the Cadillac had both her name and McNair's on the title, she was apparently responsible for making payments. She was also making payments on another car after failing to sell it.

God, what a nightmare.
