So far for the past two weeks, if not the past several months, there's been a stretch of major deaths occouring. One of theses are the Air France flight that nose dived into the Atlantic Ocean last month and Yemenia Flight 626 that crashed into the Indian Ocean with lives being taken away except for one 14 year old survivor. Not to mention a number of celebrity deaths thats been taking place in these recent events. Stars such as Bea Arthur, David Carradine, Millvina Dean who is the last living survivor of the Titanic, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, Billy Mays from the infomercials and of course Michael Jackon himself.
Just a few hours ago, I learned that former Tennesee Titans quarterback Steve McNair had his life taken away along with another woman from a gunshot. This guy was a very excellent athleate. Was one of the last Houston Oilers in the Tennesee Titans before playing with Baltimore in 2006. He lead the Titans to Super Bowl XXXIV only to lose to the St. Louis Rams one yard short. I remenber watching his games when I was in high school. He was one of the quaterbacks I looked forward to seeing on Monday Night Football and he was one of the star players along with McNabb, Brett Favre (when he was in Green Bay) and Michael Vick that got me interested in the NFL more often. It's weird because last summer I met his teammate Eddie George and his Superbowl rival Marshall Faulk in at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena for the Maddenpalooza event. With McNair no longer alive, it gonna be unusual for me to watch another game this upcomng season. This guy is gonna be missed for sure.
