It’s not often that we go into our private closet to discuss issues and conversations one might have with our closest friends. The tragic death of Steve McNair has harkened such a conversation I had with my 20-plus year friend, Deion Sanders. We are both married and one day we were discussing the incredibly high divorce rate among celebrities and athletes.

Police report McNair was shot several times, while a female friend died nearby in the condo of a single gunshot wound. Police will not classify the nature of the crime at this point, but also say they are seeking no suspects at this time as well.

The NFL has lost a true gladiator with the tragic shooting death of Steve McNair. As I reflect on McNair’s career, I think of the inspiration he represents to players across the league, but particularly, players from small schools.

Thanks for all the comments to Thursday’s Brett Favre post, which I believe points to a mutually beneficial relationship with the off-again, on-again potential retiree.

We have to keep some perspective about NFL players getting in trouble off the field. The expectation among the populous that NFL players are supposed to be perfect because they were given the right to play football is ludicrous to me.
