Hey everyone, we just wanted to show all you NFL buffs who may not have seen this yet just how cool Reggie Wayne is. Always a top 5 receiver every year, Wayne doesn’t get the attention he sometimes deserves becuase he’s not as loud or flamboyant as OchoCinco or a few others. Anyway, it’s pretty funny.

While many Americans were celebrating the holidays this 4th of July, Steve McNair, former Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens quarterback was found dead in his Nashville home. McNair, a former NFL MVP winner in 2003, was shot multiple times in the temple and chest. Police found him the next morning dead on his couch, with gunshots in his left, right temple, and his chest. Next to him laid his girlfriend Sahel Kazemi, who also had been shot in the temple. Police are investigating the situation and have concluded it was a murder suicide case.
According to many of Sahel Kazemi’s friends she was worried and frustrated with her financial standpoint. Reports also say that she had suspected that McNair was seeing another woman. McNair was 36 years of age at the time. The Tennessean stated that gunshots were fired from more then 3 feet away and the shot the killed Kazemi was fired with the gun touching her head. Farzin Abdi a family member of Kazemi, said, “they did not think that Kazemi would kill former Titan’s quarterback and herself.” The couple had been dating for months. They were found dead by friend Wayne Neely, who called friend Robert Gaddy who had played with McNair. Reporters say that Kazemi believed that McNair was going to divorce his wife and the two were going to move in together. Sahel Kazemi had gone as far as to sell her furniture on Craig’s List. The semiautomatic gun, which was not seen at the seen at the beginning, was later discovered under Kazemi. The friend of McNair’s that was at the scene defended McNair, saying that the couple was not divorcing and the reason the house was for sale was because they were looking to move into another neighborhood.
Fans wishing to pay respect to their former quarterback were able to do so Wednesday and Thursday, July 8th and 9th from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the stadium. Donations to the Steve McNair foundation are now being taken. Videos will be on display at the stadium showing some of his greatest moments. A mural of his career will also be on display. A few days prior to the murder, Kazemi was arrested, driving an Escalade under her and McNair’s name for DUI. McNair was angry about the whole ordeal, he was not in trouble so was able to take a taxi home. McNair left the scene without talking to Kazemi, but later bailed her out of jail. The whole situation with McNair’s death is shocking and heartbreaking to all who knew and loved Steve.
