McNair found dead

Former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair was found dead today in Nashville at a condo off Second Avenue South and Lea Avenue.

McNair was the victim of several gunshot wounds. Sahel Kazemi, 20, was found dead at the scene as well.

McNair, 36, played 13 seasons in the NFL, including 11 with Tennessee/Houston and helped guide them to the Super Bowl in 1999. He threw 174 touchdown passes and 119 interceptions for 31,304 yards while compiling an 82.8 quarterback rating.

He was the No. 3 pick in the draft in 1995 out of Alcorn State and is a native of Mount Olive, Miss.

"We are saddened and shocked to hear the news of Steve McNair's passing today," Titans owner K.S. "Bud" Adams Jr. said. "He was one of the finest players to play for our organization and one of the most beloved players by our fans. He played with unquestioned heart and leadership and led us to places that we had never reached, including our only Super Bowl. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family as they deal with his untimely passing."

The Seattle Mariners drafted McNair in the 35th round of the 1991 Major League Baseball First-Year Draft.

He was married to Mechelle in June 1997 and had four sons -- Junior, Steven, Tyler and Trenton. He was raised in a single-parent home by his mother Lucille with four brothers -- Fred, Tim, Jason and Michael.
