Steve McNair Dateline Special: Much Ado About Nothing

by Jimmy on Aug 31, 2009 10:11 PM CDT in News Comment 3 comments

I just finished watching the Dateline special on Steve McNair, and honestly there was really nothing new if you have followed the story closely. The first half was really just about McNair's life leading up to his NFL career and his NFL career. The second half was mostly an interview with Saheel Kazemi's former roommate.

I was expecting a bunch of stories about other affairs and some crazy alternate theories to the crime. The last 10 minutes or so did feature an interview with the "private investigator" that has been working with/for Kazemi's family. I was shocked to hear that he is a former Metro Police officer that left the force after having some problems with his superior. The interview said that he does not try to hide his dislike for the Nashville PD. Shoots some holes in his credibility if you ask me.

As I said from the top, there just wasn't much to it. Anyone else watch it? Was there something there I missed?

Agreed

I was glad that the first half really focused on Steve’s legacy through his charity, in the community and on the field. The interview with Kazemi’s ex-roommate was a little infuriating… mostly because she kept giggling while talking about a vicious murder-suicide.

And that investigator came off like an insensitive idiot with no new evidence.

As someone who's worked in local law enforcement in the area for 8 years...

I can tell you that there aren’t a whole lot of officers in Metro that like the “brass” there, especially Chief Serpas. I’m not surprised the guy is bitter, really. I do think he’d have had more credibility if he’d been a former homicide or violent crimes detective saying those things, instead of a former patrolman.

No other word except execution with a message

Say what you want about Mcnair, he was dead wrong on what He was doing to his family and reputation. But! He and that girl did not deserve to executed for having an extramarital affair. Come on, we all know who executed those people.
The police just swept this under the rug real quick. Think about It; this girl did not have any connection with the crime underworld. I cannot believe that she had any idea how to go about getting an illegal hand gun from a convicted felon that she did not know.
So! Who else would be pissed off about a black man carrying on around town with a "white" girl? Think about it; who would have the means to carry out the clandestine action of obtaining a weapon connected to a felon and then carrying out the execution in such a careful and exact manner. One bullet in each temple and one in the forehead. That is a signature execution with a message if ever there was one. I doubt his wife even knew about The girl. That leaves only one other faction with a motive. I know most people don’t want to go there, but "there" is where it is. A message and a warning to black athletes; "stay away from our white women"
