It's sad that he will be remembered for how his life ended rather than his on the field accomplishments.<br /><br />-TeddyTeddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19079811.post-20664774641002200942009-07-13T02:02:20.761-04:002009-07-13T02:02:20.761-04:00Good post.

Of course no one is perfect, we all make mistakes, but I believe the real victims here are McNair's wife and children.Kevinhttp://thebullpen.today.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19079811.post-56511562914445665612009-07-09T23:05:42.681-04:002009-07-09T23:05:42.681-04:00Nobody is perfect.

When he's on the field, we are allowed to watch and judge him. However, I don't think we should judge is personal life. That's private and whatever he did on his own time was exactly that, on his own time. Don't pass judgement on a man whom you just hear the exterior story. No divorce papers surfaced, but not all marriages are healthy no matter what. They could've been taking a break or having time apart. I don't believe his legacy is flawed at all. Pretty soon the memory will turn into "he was killed by a woman" and then "he was killed" and then "he passed away 10 years ago." So why focus on the negatives of his death? If people can respect and be sad for Michael Jackson's death after molesting children, why shouldn't Steve get any slack? That's just pathetic.

I think about his children first, then his wife. I'd want to be the inspiration of my children. How great he was as a player seems so insignificant now that he is dead. As a person who did not personally know Steve McNair can not say if he was a good person. Regardless if the girlfriend pulled the trigger or not. I struggle with how this tragedy impacts his own flesh and blood. It is great to be an inspiration to others, but compared to your children??? I've always heard and known that family comes first, so I think it is hard to try and put non family greatness and admiration for a sport in front of the family. I am sorry this happened. I don't want to judge this man, but the message I see from this tragedy is that your priorities should be aligned and invested in your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19079811.post-68170944011124238702009-07-08T00:36:11.474-04:002009-07-08T00:36:11.474-04:00"We expect them to be superhuman, but that do..."We expect them to be superhuman, but that doesn’t make them super humans."<br /><br />And Dan is once again trying to be Rick Reilly. lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19079811.post-51292628892082383692009-07-07T09:30:39.135-04:002009-07-07T09:30:39.135-04:00WE don't even know that he killed by the woman...WE don't even know that he killed by the woman yet and your talking about how his legacy is screwed up.
