Steve McNair...... Role Model?

The next person I hear whine and moan about Steve McNair not being a good role model for their kids should be smacked upside the friggin head.  Here is an idea……. You want a moral role model for your kids, how bout you man up and provide it. 

Steve McNair was a FOOTBALL PLAYER. He is not your kid’s daddy or Granddad or uncle. He was and will remain my favorite player and IMO did provide many worthwhile qualities to admire and attempt to emulate.  People question whether he will be a HOF QB.  I doubt it but I hope he does make it. Steve McNair was so much more than just the numbers.  What made Steve truly special was his heart, courage, leadership and his ability to face overwhelming adversity head on while ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD.  I remember watching the games when he was a Titan and Steve would be having a shitty game.  I would look at my wife and tell her “Damn, I think Steve needs to get dinged up so he will focus”.  Fourth Quarter would come around and sure enough, Steve, bruised and battered by then, would put the team on his shoulders and will them into the end zone. That man was as close to being a TRUE Warrior as any football player ever will be.

My morals were already formed well before I was a Steve McNair fan.  My Dad and My Granddads had already instilled in me what it meant to be a good father and husband.  I set my kids morals no one else.  TV and Sports personalities are entertainment PERIOD.  If you are lucky, for 60 minutes on Sunday you might find a guy almost as good as Steve who can be a graphic example and provide a teaching point for you and your kids on what it means to show courage, be a leader and fight through adversity.
