The sports world lost one of its most classy, standup guys today and as a Titan fan, I'm truly saddened. Steve McNair was found dead just hours ago in a 2nd avenue apartment in downtown Nashville.
Everything is currently under investigation, but one thing is for certain. His life ended way too soon and every true Titan fan is in total shock and despair right now.
He took the Titans organization to great heights and showed everyone what it truly means to give it your heart and soul. McNair would've taken snaps from a wheelchair if the team would've let him. He played the game the way it is suppose to be played.
McNair took the Titans to the Super Bowl in the 1999-2000 season and made one of the most amazing plays I've ever seen a quarterback make. Just when you thought he was going to be sacked, McNair would shove you down like a ragdoll and run down the field for the first-down. If he didn't beat you with his legs, he would beat you with his arm.
Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney told ESPN he was the toughest quarterback to take down and he was like "hitting a brick wall". He was one of many who could agree with that statement.
There's no question that the city of Nashville truley loved McNair. Despite being from Mississippi and ending his career in Baltimore, McNair called Nashville home and did so many great things within the community.
Aside from all of the various charities he did within the Nashville community, McNair put Nashville on the national sports scene.
He will be greatly missed, and as a Titan fan, I feel truly lucky to have had him play for my team.
