McNair had several gunshot wounds and was found on a couch. Kazemi, 20, died of a single shot to her head and a pistol was found near her body, according to the Tennessean.

    Steve McNair dead, 36, will be best remembered for leading the Titans to their only Super Bowl in 2000 when his final pass of the game wound up coming inches short of a game-tying touchdown against the Rams when Kevin Dyson was tackled at the goal line as time expired.

    Steve McNair was also co-MVP of the NFL with Peyton Manning in 2003. And, yes, he was one of the trailblazers among black quarterbacks in pro football, as portrayed well in this Baltimore Sun story after his retirement from the Ravens in 2008.

    Mike Freeman of cbssports.com recalls McNair in this column as a first-class guy who always wanted to know how you were doing instead of the other way around.
    Less remembered will be the fact he was a good-enough athlete to be selected by the Seattle Mariners in the 35th round of the 1991 draft as a shortstop out of Mt. Olive High School in Mississippi.
