Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Memories Remain Edition

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Anything and everything you want to know about the investigation into Steve McNair's murder can be found on the home page of The Tennessean.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Jay Cutler reflects on how McNair helped him through the Senior Bowl and draft processes, which lead to a blossoming friendship over the past few years.  Jay also talks about how watching McNair flourish with the Titans, and his constant toughness, influenced his playing style from the Vanderbilt era through to his NFL career.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Mt. Zion Baptist Church, where McNair's memorial service will take place tonight, can hold up to 5,500 people; I'd expect that capacity to be tested to say the least.  Mourners can go to one of two sessions for viewing.  Details are in the story.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Terry McCormick counts down Steve's most memorable moments in a Titans uniform.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Jim Wyatt has a great piece where Mike Heimerdinger reflects on what kind of man, leader and competitor Mac was.  The best story is about their first game together:

...there was some slight tension before their first game together, during the 2000 season.

Back then, [Heimerdinger] didn't know much about McNair's ritual of taking a nap before every game.

"I knew when Mac was upset, and he knew when I was upset, but we never really got after each other. Things were good,'' Heimerdinger said. "Really, our biggest clash might have been before the first game when I went to find him and give him reminders — I was real nervous and trying to cover things I thought should be covered, and he was sleeping.

"I woke him up for a third time and he said, "Just relax, I have this taken care of.'' So I learned to relax.''

Tennessee_titans_30x21 It's a hideous twist of fate that Steve will never get to see his oldest son, Steve McNair Jr., take the field for a Division I college.  The younger McNair already has offers from  West Virginia, Tulsa, Mississippi State and Southern Miss., Kentucky, Louisiana Tech, Ole Miss and Alcorn State.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Nashville Scene writer Jack Silverman has a good piece on the debate over McNair's legacy.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 One day I'm going to run into Mike Florio and kick him straight in the doink for the one million exploitative things he's done on PFT.  Is anyone surprised that he's treating this event like it's a season ending CSI cliffhanger?  Or that the finding of the police wouldn't be good enough for this idiot? Seriously though, it's gonna be awesome when we cross paths.

Steve McNair is so tough...

that the first shot to his head only woke him up. Two shots to his chest knocked him unconscious but he was still breathing. With one more shot to his head, the Warrior who was fending off Death itself can only endure so much… tired and badly wounded, finally, he lowered his arms and surrendered to Death’s embrace.

"I finished the game. In my mind, if I finished the game, I can play next week." - Steve McNair RIP

It doesn't add up...

They found gun powder residue on her left hand…but she shot herself in the right temple. Yeah! That makes perfect sense! She didn’t do it.

they said

that they couldnt pull the the gun shot residue off of her right hand because of blood contamination. basically her right hand ended up in the pooling of her blood, which makes sense because the gun was under her body, so the right hand was probably near by. the gsr on her left hand most likely came from shooting steve w/ 2 hands at close distance. no 20 year old girl who owned a gun for less than 72 hours is going to shoot it one handed.
