"Air "Steve McNair 1973-2009

Steve McNair the former All Pro quarterback for the Tennessee Titans died on July 4 ,2009 .He was killed by his girlfriend .I make no judgment on his life. I make judgment that he was one of the greatest quarterbacks of his era.

Steve will always be remembered as the quarterback that was one yard shy of winning the Super Bowl.McNair came from the small historical black college of Alcorn State University in Mississippi .It was during his collegiate career that he set the collegiate world on fire, by utilizing his overall talents as a quarterback. My belief is that he should have won the Heisman Trophy. McNair followed in the large footsteps of Doug Williams from Grambling ,by becoming a highly drafted black college quarterback.McNair was drafted by the Seattle Mariners as well,but he opted to play professional football.He starred eleven years at Tennesse and finished his career with the Baltimore Ravens.

McNair will also be remembered by his dedication in helping the community. His charitable work goes without question.From the United Way to helping hurricane victims, during Hurricane Katrina.It was during Katrina that he organized relief efforts and paid for caravans of commercial trucks to be sent to the Gulf Coast. Steve was a man , and as all men are we are human. Several years back another famous individual ,Vice President Nelson Rockefeller died in the company of his mistress.Rockefeller's good works were not humbled by his transgression. The frailty of life is that we don't know when and how it will end. For Steve it has ended.For others such as you and me we have another chance to be at our best.My fear,is that we too will prove that we might be one yard shy. Rest In Piece ,Steve McNair.
