throwing so much heat towards the girl, a 20 year old girl that a 36 year old man obviously connected with in a way that was completely inappropriate and acting like the 36 year old man is completely innocent. What McNair did to start the relationship was disgusting. He definitely didn't deserve to die, but he was much more than just a "playa".

she was young, confused and likely completely broke. All of a sudden a former NFL star shows interest in her and she falls for him. He waits WAAAAAAAAY too long to put an end to it (if he even did) and even cosigns a car for her. An Escalade at that. McNair was an idiot and just as much a "whore" as anyone in this debacle.

I would like to interject that my "playa" comment was supposed to be sarcastic. I agree with the bolded statement above.

A. Stepping out on his wife started it all.

B. You're making a lot of assumptions in both McNair's and the young woman's roles in this adulterous affair. McNair took it far enough to cosign a car for her. An Escalade at that. He didn't help her get a Civic or Corolla, he went biggie size for her. If this was Joe Blow from Murfreesboro, no one would be painting him as innocent as so many of you are painting McNair.

I am in no way, shape or form painting McNair as innocent. He is guilty of having an extramarital affair(s) no more or less. It became apparent to this woman that things were not going to go where she wanted them to with McNair. Between that and her other financial problems (of which McNair wasn't going to help her with,like the note on her vehicle he co-signed for) she decided she didn't want to go on. That is not something a person does if they think the relationship is going somewhere. The murder of McNair was an act of desperation by this woman. Her problems were the reason he was murdered. His only fault in this regard was that he involved himself with her.

I did not want to say anything but I heard something similar through a friend. She hadn't been told exactly what they thought Sahel was trying to do though.


It is interesting that Serpas's statement on the radio here in Nashville lends credence to that claim. He said he thought she was trying to stage the scene so that she would fall into his lap after she pulled the trigger on herself. When the host asked him why, he replied there is evidence that this was her intention but out of respect for the families we do not want to get into the details.

Note: I was paraphrasing Serpas's comments.

Chief Serpas did say that certain details are not being disclosed for the benefit of surviving family. I think that this leaves the door open for alot of speculation.

edit: I am not saying I have any knowledge, and I did throw this out there as a rumor that I have heard mainly to see if anyone else heard something similar.

As was my comment about being a "playa." I agree he shouldn't have cheated on his wife, but he's not the only person in America to do so. I don't think he should be labeled as a terrible person because of being a cheater. We have all made mistakes, and McNair cheating was a mistake.

This is a brilliant post. Especially the part in bold.

But involving himself was why the problem exists. He put the $$$ signs in her head. If he had pushed her away the whole time, your story would have merit. He took the relationship too deep and we really don't know if he was even trying to get out of it.

radio personality in nashville said mcnair was a "functional alcoholic".

For what its worth.....

I still reguard him as a good person who made some really poor decisions. We all have...we just have not died because of them.

This is a lot of speculation on your part as well. From the evidence that has been made public all indications are she wanted this relationship to go much further than McNair. The police seem to think that McNair was upset at her for something, probably the DUI situation and her actions after. They seem to believe that he was backing off from her and this is why she followed the woman she thought was seeing McNair as well.

I think the opinion that McNair was a functioning alcoholic is pretty fair, I have seen him at a couple of places, always with a drink in hand. He was known to frequent and drink at many clubs and bars around town.

The fact that he cosigned an escalade for her proves he took it too far. It's not just speculation.

We are arguing in circles and I think I know why now.

I think McNair is in part responsible for the actions that led up to his death. He got with an immature young woman who left a boyfriend to be with him. McNair should have known this was not a wise decision and taking her on trips and cosigning so she could get a nice car only added to the problem. I am not trying to minimize his actions.

He may have made himself vulnerable to this woman's irrational behavior but the actual act of murder and suicide falls directly on her shoulders. He did not make her pull the trigger, she could have walked away at any time.

What you were doing was pointing out to another poster that McNair was not guiltless here, and I agree. McNair was a willing participant in a relationship with what should have been obvious to him as an unhealthy relationship for both parties. As a result of his actions and her instability they were both killed. This sound fair enough to you?

That isn't what he is saying at all. Regardless of the intricate details (of which we will never know all) McNair put himself in that position. Therefore he part of the blame.

I wouldn't say that the position alone was what led to his death, but rather the crazy broad he was in the position with.

He's the one that led her on and put those crazy thoughts in her head. Have you ever been to a game and witnessed the "cleat chasers"? There are millions of women after what she was able to at least temporarily get. I see it every night and I work in just about the lowest level of baseball possible.

Ding ding ding. Too many are treating McNair as an innocent victim. He clearly isn't. The girl had no reason to do what she did, but McNair was foolish for letting things snowball.

Did those millions of women pull the trigger on anyone? No. That is my point. He shouldn't have cheated, plain and simple. Co-signing for her on a vehicle and spending money on her may have misled her, but her being crazy and unstable caused her to pull the trigger. Just my opinion.

He obviously didn't back off far enough. Otherwise he would still be alive today.

i rode bulls professionally in the mid '90s. girls such as these cleat chasers would wait for bullriders and others participating after the rodeo. sometimes they would even follow the guys to bars. i'm not really complaining about them, however.
