Episode 266 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're back on the gridiron discussing Steve McNair. An absolute stud as a dual-threat Quarterback, “Air” McNair won the 1994 Walter Payton Award as the best player in Division 1-AA college football for Alcorn State. Selected third overall in the 1995 NFL Draft, McNair became a star in the NFL for the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans. One of the toughest signal-callers in NFL history, McNair led the Titans to an AFC title in 1999, threw for over 31K yards and 174 touchdowns and was NFL co-MVP in 2003. Though his life ended tragically and prematurely in 2009, McNair's legacy lives on as one of the best and most exciting football players of the 2000s. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support

In Part 1 of this week's show, I'm joined by LPGA Elite Instructor Cindy Miller and former Atlanta Falcons WR Brian Finneran. Cindy Miller was recognized as an Elite LPGA Professional & Instructor at the PGA Merchandise Show earlier this year. We hear about that honor. On the heels of the tragic news of Grayson Murray, Cindy shares the story of her husband Allen Miller who found himself in a similar dark place. Allen was a top Amateur player in the early 70s. He played on the PGA Tour from the mid-70s to early 80s. He competed in 5 Masters Tournaments. The expectations of his father always haunted him. No matter what Allen achieved it was never good enough. It led Allen into some dark places. He attempted suicide which led him and Cindy to the brink of divorce. Hear his story as told from Cindy's perspective. Brian Finneran was an All-American WR at Villanova. He won the Walter Payton Award for being the best player in FCS College Football in 1997. He was an undrafted free agent signed by the Seattle Seahawks. He played in the NFL from 1999 to 2010 with the Eagles and Falcons. Brian is now a Sports Talk Radio Host at 680 The Fan in Atlanta. I get his insights on the Falcons draft and our shared dismay at why they selected Michael Penix with the 8th overall pick. We also discuss Angel Hernandez doing baseball a favor by retiring, plus we hear about Brian's round of golf at Augusta National.

Today I am joined by Eric Wood, Former NFL player for the Buffalo Bills. I am so grateful to be having this interview. His story is one that I think so many of us can relate to. 45 minutes before his son was born, Eric got news his Football career was over.

Eric played his entire 9-season NFL career for the Bills before an unexpected spinal injury ultimately ended his on-field career in 2018. Now, he has a clear direction for what he'd like to do in his post-playing career. You can learn more at www.ericwoodmedia.com   What's Next?    Have you read Rise and Go?!

The National practiced first. Clemson wide receiver Joseph Ngata is a big-bodied vertical threat. He made some great contested catches but felt he could've dominated more. Record-setting Louisville QB Malik Cunningham spoke on his performance at practice, his Louisville legacy, following Lamar Jackson's production & the pro-style concepts of Louisville's offense. Walter Payton Award winner Lindsey Scott Jr set records after transferring from Nicholls State by way of LSU. In his only season at Incarnate word he lead the school on its deepest playoff run ever, one game shy of the FCS National Championship Game. He threw for 60 touchdowns & ran for 11 more. He spoke on the pro style concepts of the UIW offense and how the production isn't due to gimmicks or a multitude of bubble screens. FCS Second-Team All American Linebacker/nickel Marte Mape of Sacramento State is from Hawthrone, Calif, attended Hawthrone high & also won Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year. Mape spoke on what it means to be one of the few players from Hawthorne to make it this far to Pasadena & the NFL in general. He also stated why so many kids from Hawthrone don't go to Hawthrone High & how local kids branch out & go other places. He finished up with a look back on his Sacramento State career & how he's handling defensive adjustments throughout the week.

 Christopher Patrick Golden pleaded guilty Thursday morning to the murder of two Cobb County sheriff's deputies who were killed at a west Cobb subdivision in September. The negotiated plea agreement includes charges of aggravated assault and murder in the slaying of Deputies Jonathan Koleski and Marshall Ervin Junior. Under the terms of the agreement, Golden will receive two life sentences, plus an additional 55 years, without the possibility of parole. That would represent the maximum sentence short of the death penalty, according to the Cobb District Attorney's Office. Prosecutors told Superior Court Judge Julie Adams Jacobs they were prepared to seek the death penalty in the case, which drew national attention, before Golden's attorneys approached them with a plea offer. After consulting with the deputies' families, they agreed to the multiple life sentences. Golden, shackled at the wrists and ankles and clad in an orange jumpsuit, waived any right to appeal or challenge the plea in the future, or seek a pardon or parole. Because the sentencing terms were part of the plea agreement, no further hearings will be required. A Kennesaw man has died after he was shot outside a Walmart in the Town Center area Wednesday, police announced Thursday night. Eddie Figueroa  died from his injuries, the Cobb County Police Department said. Officers responded to the Walmart in Town Center Market off of Chastain Meadows Parkway around 11:52 a.m. Wednesday, following 911 calls reporting an active shooter, according to police. Though the incident was initially treated as an active shooter situation, officers later discovered it was not, and was in fact an altercation between two different sets of people, police said. While at the scene, Cobb police were contacted by the Marietta Police Department regarding a person, later identified as Figeuroa, at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital suffering from a gunshot wound. Figueroa had been driven to the hospital in a private vehicle, according to police. The shooting led to the store being evacuated Wednesday. The Walmart anchors the Town Center Market shopping center, located off Barrett Parkway just east of Interstate 575. Police said at the scene the shooting occurred outside the store's automotive center. The shooting remains under investigation. Cobb Community Foundation announced that Sweetwater Mission was named the recipient of the first annual Howard Koepka Collaborative Spirit Award, an award that in its inaugural year carries with it an unrestricted grant of $10,000. This new award honors the life and collaborative spirit of the late Howard Koepka, a much-loved community organizer known for asking everyone everywhere, “How can we help you?” In his role at Noonday Association of Churches, he was an integral part of the Cobb Community Food Fleet, an initiative of Cobb Community Foundation and Noonday Association in collaboration with 90 nonprofit, for profit, faith-based and government organizations that distributed over four million pounds of food during the pandemic. The Howard Koepka Collaborative Spirit Award honors not just Koepka but those organizations who embody his collaborative spirit. Of the 10 organizations nominated, Sweetwater stood out as exemplifying the idea that multiple organizations working together can accomplish more than any single organization can accomplish on its own.   Former McEachern High School standout Tremayne Anchrum Jr. believes in making the world around him a better place. Now, the offensive lineman is being recognized for his efforts. Anchrum was selected as the Los Angeles Rams' nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award earlier this week. The award, considered one of the league's most prestigious honors, is given to the NFL player who is not only an outstanding player, but one who excels within the community. Former Rams offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth, the 2021 Walter Payton Man of the Year, surprised Anchrum with the news while he was volunteering with the Hollywood Food Coalition. Anchrum began volunteering with the coalition during the pandemic and has continued as a weekly volunteer. Anchrum, a seventh-round draft pick of the Rams in 2020 out of Clemson, also volunteers at the Los Angeles Boys and Girls Club. During the offseason, he often spent 4-5 hours per day volunteering and working with youth. Anchrum continues to volunteer the Boys and Girls Club and recently took a group of 15 to the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum after demonstrators on a major highway in Los Angeles displayed antisemitic messages. This year, Anchrum also brought “My Chemo Fairy” to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. “My Chemo Fairy” provides a child who is fighting cancer, and their family, something to look forward to when it comes time for treatment, and it is a way to let them know there are people ready to support them. The gesture is in an effort to carry on the legacy of former McEachern offensive line coach Geoff Pastrick, who died in 2020 after fighting lymphoma. Anchrum is also an ambassador of Set the Expectation, a non-profit organization dedicated to ending sexual and interpersonal violence through advocacy, prevention work with men and engagement with agencies servicing survivors and their families. Anchrum also supported a U.S. Vets gala to raise money to address veteran homelessness and many other local causes in the Los Angeles area. Each of the 32 Walter Payton Award nominees will be recognized for their work during the weekend leading up to Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona. The winner will be announced during NFL Honors, a primetime awards special to air the Thursday before the Super Bowl on NBC. Each nominee will receive up to a $40,000 donation in their name to their charity of choice, and the winner will receive up to a $250,000 donation to the charity of his choice.   The American Lung Association has launched its 2023 Fight For Air Climb Firefighter Calendar, which honors first responders from across the U.S., including Matt Stewart from the Smyrna Fire Department. Every year, thousands of firefighters race up hundreds of stairs in full firefighter gear weighing over 40 pounds during American Lung Association Fight For Air Climbs in more than 40 cities nationwide. Stewart of the Smyrna Fire Department was chosen as one of the American Lung Association's top Fight For Air Climb firefighters nationwide. Stewart, who became a firefighter to be a part of something bigger than himself, has been a firefighter with the Smyrna Fire Department for two years. The 2023 calendar also includes fire safety tips, statistics on how fires affect one's lung health and tips for the Fight For Air Climb. All proceeds will support the American Lung Association's mission to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease through education, advocacy and research. To purchase a calendar, visit Lung.org/calendar.  In a small room off the Tapp Middle School auditorium, Powder Springs Mayor Al Thurman cut the ribbon for the city's new food pantry Wednesday. The project is a partnership between the city of Powder Springs and Goodr, a waste management company that supplies nonprofits with surplus food from businesses. The store stocks non-perishables, fresh produce and refrigerated goods such as eggs, bacon and deli meat — all of which is free. Goodr CEO Jasmine Crowe-Houston, a former Powder Springs resident who now lives in Mableton, also attended the ribbon-cutting, along with the members of the Powder Springs City Council. Tapp Middle School Principal Alvin Thomas said the store will be open to the families of Tapp Middle School students until after the holidays, when it will open to the rest of the community. The pantry, Thomas said, will help ensure kids who rely on school lunches also have food on weekends. Thomas said that providing food for students and their families is another way the school can fulfill students' emotional, social and academic needs. Powder Springs funded the store with federal COVID-19 relief money from the American Rescue Plan Act. Powder Springs ARPA Program Manager Wayne Wright estimated the project cost around $100,000. This is the fifth of Goodr's grocery store-style food pantries, which are run mostly by local volunteers. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews      -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com                  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been anything but an off week on the news side of things for the North Dakota State football team.

4 HBCU players made it to the Walter Payton award watchlist: Shedeur Sanders, Kemari Averett, Shaq Davis, and Xavier Smith. After 13 years under Gregory Moore, The SIAC has found a new commissioner in Anthony Holloman. 4 HBCU players made it to the Walter Payton award watchlist: Shedeur Sanders, Kemari Averett, Shaq Davis, and Xavier Smith. As a QB, Sanders has the clear advantage as this is mostly a QB award. Still this represents how highly they are viewed within their position for everyone else. The HBCU mindset is close to the mindset of NFL players on special teams. There are 3 key attributes they both share: being counted out, being doubted, and also having to fight. HBCU players are used to facing the obstacles and having to fight just to make it to the NFL players, while many special teamers are fighting to ensure they can have a spot on the roster. After 13 years under Gregory Moore, The SIAC has found a new commissioner in Anthony Holloman. Holloman was the former VP of advancement and Athletic Director for Fort Valley State. His history in leadership position and also his educational history bode well for his stock as the leader of a conference. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

He played college football for and graduated from Grambling State University.Standing six feet (1.83 m) tall, and weighing over 260 lb Eugene was given the nickname "Round Mound of Touchdown". He was much heavier than the typical quarterback, but proved to be exceptionally quick and agile for a man his size. He was also a very accurate passer, and was rated one of the top players in Division I-AA college football.Injured in the first game of the 2004 season, Eugene sat out the entire remainder of the year. He received a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA.Eugene was a three-time finalist for the coveted Walter Payton Award, which is given annually to I-AA's top football player (the equivalent of the Heisman Trophy in Division I-A). In 2003, he threw for 3,805 yards with 34 TD vs 13 INT. He also ran for 412 yards with 6 TD. He followed that up with an amazing performance during the 2005 season throwing for 4,408 yards with 56 TD vs 6 INT while running for an additional 157 yards and 3 TD.At the NFL combine, Eugene recorded a score of 41 on the Wonderlic test, one of the highest ever.Eugene was signed as a free agent by the New Orleans Saints within hours of the conclusion of the 2006 NFL Draft. Bruce was released from the Saints on June 15, 2006. After a short stint with the Canadian Football League's Saskatchewan Roughriders he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on January 11, 2007.

Today, Mark is delighted to welcome Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle, Kelvin Beachum, to the podcast. In addition to his highly successful football career, Kelvin has worked with a number of charities including Bread for the World, Feeding America, and World Vision, and has been nominated for the NFL’s Walter Payton Award as a result. Kelvin has chosen Daniel 6:5-10 to discuss with Mark. In their discussion, Kelvin talks about his annual fast and his reasons for engaging in it, and he also shares his summary of today’s passage including the meaning it holds for him. Together, he and Mark analyze the message touting the importance of conviction and commitment in both the passage and in our lives, and the power of inspiring others through our actions, thus achieving what Mark terms ‘the great Jewish mission’. Kelvin also shares the lessons he has learned about mankind throughout his career and beyond. Today’s passage is all about committing to your faith and bringing that faith to life through actions – a theme with which Mark and Kelvin have an enormous amount of experience in their own lives. Episode Highlights: Kelvin’s annual fast His summary of the passage and its meaning for him Prioritizing prayer and committing to yourself and your God regardless of circumstances The conviction and constancy of both Daniel and Joseph Inspiring others by acting out your faith Achieving the great Jewish mission The lessons about mankind which Kelvin has learned Quotes: “Listening to God, I was begging for forgiveness, I was campaigning for strength in many areas of my life, and being in close communication with our Savior. It’s a must as more has been added to my plate.” “You have to be content and okay with who you are, and you have to be committed to who you are.” “It’s not about self-edification, it’s not about promoting ourselves. It’s about allowing the one God to work through us.” “If you’re working out your faith, working out your own soul’s salvation daily, you don’t talk about it, it’s those around you that see it and they talk about it.” “God rescues and saves.” “The King is so inspired that he learns almost perfect theology just from observing Daniel’s actions.” “People respond to actions so profoundly.” “You have to love the stranger.” Daniel 6:5-10 The ministers and satraps looked for some fault in Daniel’s conduct in matters of state, but they could find neither fault nor corruption, inasmuch as he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption was to be found in him. https://www.sefaria.org/Daniel.6?lang=bi Links: The Rabbi’s Husband homepage: http://therabbishusband.com/ Mark’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/markgerson?lang=en

Saturday, July 4, 2009. A relatively quiet Independence Day for the US. The Statue of Liberty crown reopened after being closed for 8 years due to the attacks on the World Trade Center. North Korea tested ballistic missiles of their own to rattle the saber of their military at the United States, but nothing extraordinary. Seemed like it would be just another quiet celebration of America's Independence. At 1:35 p.m., a man named Robert Gaddy called 911 and reported finding two bodies in a residence at 105 Lea Avenue near downtown Nashville, TN. A 300-plus pound lineman for the Nashville Kats Arena Football Team, Gaddy was known around town as "Big Daddy Gaddy." He is perhaps most well-known for being a friend and teammate to NFL legend and local hero, Steve McNair. The first officer appeared just four minutes later, at 1:39 p.m, and found that one of the victims was the former football star. The other appeared to be a woman, whose dead body lay at his feet on the floor of the living room. The man turned out to be Steve McNair and the woman his girlfriend, Sahel Kazemi. McNair sat on his couch, Kazemi on the ground at his feet. The officers found two bullets in the walls almost immediately; one was attributed to McNair, the other to his girlfriend. The 9mm used in the murder-suicide was then found underneath Kazemi's head during the investigation. Here is a brief synopsis of what the officers found upon entering McNair's place: McNair had a gunshot wound (contact) to his right temple, and an exit gunshot wound to his right temple. McNair also had a gunshot wound (non-contact) to his left temple and two gunshot wounds to his chest that both exited through his back. Kazemi had a contact gunshot wound to the right side of her head and an exit wound on the left side of her head. Due to a lack of any defensive wounds or defensive posturing from McNair, police believe McNair was asleep on his couch when he was shot and killed early in the hours of July 4th, 2009. According to the case summary, McNair's Blood Alcohol Level was 0.15%, nearly twice the legal limit at the time, which may have contributed to his drowsiness. A few more details on what police believed happened the night of McNair's death (from the case summary): The totality of the evidence leads to the conclusion that Kazemi shot McNair in the left side of his head (non-contact), shot him twice in the chest, and then put the gun to the right side of his head and shot him again (contact wound). It is concluded that Kazemi sat on the sofa to McNair's left in such a way that she would fall into McNair's lap upon committing suicide by shooting herself in the head. The blood stains show that Kazemi's upper body was in McNair's lap before she slid down his leg and onto the floor. 105 Lea Avenue, Nashville, TN The Life of Steve McNair This isn't a sports blog, so I won't spend a whole lot of time writing about Steve McNair's career, but here are the highlights: he won the Walter Payton Award in 1994 and was drafted by the Houston Oilers the next year. He didn't really become a superstar player in the NFL until the Oilers migrated to Nashville and became the Tennessee Titans. He participated in the Titans' lone Super Bowl, losing that game by about a foot-and-a-half. (Sorry if this is triggering you, the long-suffering Titans fan.) He took the Titans to a few more playoff appearances before being traded to the Ravens in 2005. He played a few more seasons and then retired in 2007. I remember intensely respecting his on-the-field heroics. He was tougher than most quarterbacks, and he put a nice touch on his passes. Being a Falcons fan, though, I never followed 'Air' McNair's career with the fervor that I would now. His personal life plays much more of a role in his ultimate death than his football career. First of all, he was married, and many of his friends were surprised to know he was involved in a secret relationship with the waitress, Kazemi, before his death. He had two sons with his wife, Mechelle McNair and two sons by two other women. The Fourth of July Timeline A few key events lead up to Steve McNair's death. On July 1, an African-American male (who was not Steve McNair or Adrian Gilliam) showed up at the Opry Mills Dave & Buster's where Sahel Kazemi worked and hung out without eating or drinking. Kazemi spent an hour talking to him on her shift, disappeared for two hours during her 30-minute break and was sent home after that. Also, the Thursday before his death, July 2, McNair was out with Kazemi and chef Vent Gordon when Kazemi, driving an Escalade registered to the couple, was pulled over. According to a Hollywood Gossip timeline, the traffic stop occurred between 1-1:30 a.m. early Thursday morning. She was arrested for DUI but not before McNair and Gordon left the scene via taxi. Kazemi apparently asked McNair to talk to the arresting officer, but McNair, perhaps fearing a public controversy over the matter, refused. McNair then went to Free at Last Bonding and arranged to bail her out. According to Fowzi Ali, a cab driver, McNair went to Loser's Bar in Midtown Nashville for 15-20 minutes before requesting to be taken back to the residence on Lea. Later that evening, Kazemi, having been bailed out by McNair, ventured to meet a convicted murderer named Adrian Gilliam to purchase a semi-automatic 9mm pistol. (More on that later.) This would prove to be the gun used in the murder-suicide. That Friday, Kazemi went into work at the Dave & Busters at the Opry Mills Mall, just outside of Nashville, and sent a series of texts throughout her shift and beyond. Judging solely on the content of the texts, she merely appeared to be in love with the former quarterback, not veering toward some form of psychotic break. However, according to an article in ESPN, there are some signs that she was not quite herself in the hours leading up to her death: A shift manager at Dave & Buster's who worked with Kazemi on the last night of her life told police that Kazemi was normally upbeat. But in the hours before the murder, something was different. She rolled her eyes when asked about McNair's promise to divorce his wife, Mechelle. Kazemi, according to a police statement, told her manager, 'My life is just shit, and I should end it!' Here are some other highlights of her social media and personal communiques from Friday, July 3, 2009: She called a handful of friends that day, making Fourth of July plans that wouldn't be kept. She tried to sell some furniture on craigslist [sic], went to work and clocked out early, and texted McNair that she had to be with him that night. One of her final calls was to Lakresia Polite, a friend she had planned on going out with that night. Polite said that she was in Memphis and that she couldn't go out. Kazemi, Polite says, told her that's OK; she'd call Steve and see what he was doing. It's extremely possible to come to the conclusion that Steve McNair AND Sahel "Jenni" Kazemi  would still be alive today, had she only been able to go out with someone else -- anyone else -- that Friday night. Later testing concluded that Kazemi was the sole shooter. There was powder residue on Kazemi's left hand, indicating she had fired using both hands, and none on either of McNair's. The Discovery Remember Robert "Big Daddy" Gaddy? Turns out, even though he made the initial 911 call, he was not the person who discovered the bodies. That distinction goes to one Carless Wayne Neeley, a friend of McNair's who co-rented the property at 105 Lea Avenue with the former football star. July 4th, at approximately 12:40 p.m., Neeley dropped by the residence and saw McNair's cars parked outside. He had been talking to McNair about speaking at a local Little League game and figured he would drop in to ask about it. He unlocked the doors and went inside. He saw the both of them in the living room but thought they were asleep and walked right past them into the kitchen. He grabbed a beer from the fridge and returned to the living room. Upon seeing blood and shell casings in the condo, he fled the residence. He said he didn't recognize the victim on the couch as McNair and tried multiple times to call the former football player. When he couldn't get ahold of McNair, he did the next best thing: He called McNair's best friend, Gaddy, who showed up 15 minutes later. Gaddy and Neeley went inside and identified McNair's body, but here's the weird thing: they didn't go outside and immediately call the police. First, they called General Sessions Judge Casey Moreland. Moreland, of course, told them that they should call the authorities and admit to everything they knew. The 9mm Pistol A thirty-three-year-old convicted murderer named Adrian Gilliam sold Sahel Kazemi the loaded 9mm pistol she would later use to murder Steve McNair and kill herself. He purportedly wanted a romantic relationship with Kazemi and exchanged 49 texts and phone calls in the days leading up to the murder. He later stated he sold her the gun because she'd told him she was worried about prowlers in the area. However, it was also speculated that she was angry over the possibility that McNair was engaged in other extramarital affairs, in addition to the one he was having with her. Despite that, she was also purportedly seeing other men at the time, including one of McNair's former teammates on the Tennessee Titans and a Vanderbilt University football player. Timeline Leading to Steve McNair's and Sahel Kazemi's Deaths Thursday, July 2, 2009: Two Days Before McNair's Death Kazemi is pulled over for DUI in Nashville while driving a Cadillac Escalade registered to both McNair and Kazemi. McNair and Vent Gordon, the chef at one of McNair's restaurants, are in the car at this time. McNair refuses to get out and talk to the police, but he still bails Kazemi out of jail. Weird irony: the officer who arrests Kazemi for DUI is the same one who, six years earlier, arrested McNair for the same charge. Later that evening, Sahel Kazemi purchases a 9mm pistol from a convicted murderer she met while trying to find a buyer for her Kia. (Wikipedia) There is also speculation that Kazemi was with her ex-boyfriend, Keith Norfleet, in the hours following being bailed out of jail for DUI. Friday, July 3, 2009: The Day Before McNair's Death 10:05 AM -- Kazemi texts McNair. "Baby I might have a break down im so stressed." She also states she needs to pay "the cell phone bills n the hospital." 04:00 PM -- McNair tells Kazemi that $2,000 is being transferred to her account. She later texts that she "can hardly breath [sic]" and "I just want the pain in my chest to go away." McNair texts back, asking if she would like for him to see about her. 04:04 PM -- Kazemi texts McNair: "Baby I have to be w u 2nite. I dnt care where." 08:34 PM -- Kazemi again texts McNair: "baby where u gonna be at when I get off." 11:00 PM -- McNair puts his children to bed. Saturday, July 4, 2009: The Day of McNair's Death 12:38 AM -- McNair texts Kazemi: "On my way." [Presumably, this is the condo where the two of them met up.] 01:14 AM -- Kazemi tells McNair the door is open. 02:23 AM -- There is one more text sent to McNair's phone at 2:23 AM. "im going to the store." It was sent approximately 23 minutes after the Metro Nashville Police Department believes Kazemi killed Steve McNair and then herself. According to Sammy Saltman in a 2009 article, "T-Mobile Subpoena Compliance Specialist Melanie Cadwell told Nasvhille authorities that it is possible this message, which was received by McNair's Blackberry at that time, was delayed in transit, and was actually sent earlier. The Lingering Questions in Steve McNair's Death Although the official investigation into Steve McNair's death seems pretty conclusive, a few lingering questions remain. Former police officer Vincent Hill believes Kazemi did not, in fact, murder McNair and turn the pistol on herself. His main evidence comes from the fact that McNair, who very often carried thousands of dollars rolled up in a rubber band, only had $6 in in his wallet when his body was found. A more minor but nevertheless credible point relates to Adrian Gilliam's uneven testimony. Gilliam claims that he avoided the truth in his initial interviews because his fiancee was present, and he didn't want her to know about his amorous intentions with Sahel Kazemi. We can't really cast aspersions on Gilliam purely for his past, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he had something to hide about the whole murder/suicide. The last point Vincent Hill brings up is that Kazemi purportedly hated guns. I mean, honestly, that doesn't really matter, since plenty of violent ends have come at the hands of people who abhorred violence, but it is definitely an avenue worth exploring. Kazemi's family has requested the investigation be re-opened, and though I doubt that will ever happen, it doesn't hurt to think about all of the angles in this case. Final Thoughts The more I've read about Steve McNair's death, the more tragic the whole thing seems to become. I've got to admit, I first thought the whole case had to do with a jealous lover and revenge. Now that I've paid some actual attention to it, I have to admit it just appears to be a horrible, random, absolutely senseless crime. Steve McNair was no worse than any other professional athlete, and he appeared to have a really quite generous streak that set him apart. From what I've read, he was a good man, an absolute legend, one who embraced Nashville with the whole of his life. Sahel Kazemi didn't have a chance to establish herself, so the legacy she leaves behind is tied almost exclusively to her tumultuous relationship with Steve McNair. However, the horrors associated with the events of July 4, 2009 can't erase the joy she brought to friends and family. She very obviously suffered a psychotic break, which may explain what eventually happened in the wee hours of her final night.
