WOW. That's really, really messed up and tragic. What a terrible way to go. :( I have his jersey (the only jersey of a player I own) and he was one of the biggest reasons why I became a fan of the Titans in the first place. This is horrible. This is a huge loss for his family, the Titans organization, and football in general.
What a warrior.
Quote:McNair began his career in 1995 with the Houston Oilers, who eventually became the Titans, and finished with 31,304 yards passing and 174 touchdowns. McNair played with pain for several years, and the injuries ultimately forced him to retire.
The highlight of his playing time might have been a five-game stretch at the end of the 2002 season when he was so banged up he couldn't practice. McNair started all five games and won them all, leading the Titans to an 11-5 finish and a berth in the AFC championship game for the second time in four seasons.
What a warrior.
