NEWS: MORE INFO ON THE MURDER OF STEVE MCNAIR
Wednesday, July 8, 2009

Police in Nashville are confirming that ex-NFL star Steve McNair’s 20-year-old girlfriend/mistress, Sahel Kazemi, killed him before turning the gun on herself. They say they may never know what was going through Sahel Kazemi’s mind when she shot McNair in his condominium, but they say it’s clear it was a murder-suicide.
Police earlier had labeled McNair’s death a homicide, but awaited further tests and investigation before saying for sure what happened. They believe he was asleep on a sofa when Kazemi shot him in the head. She then apparently shot him twice in the chest before shooting him again in the head and then shooting herself.
McNair, a quarterback for the Tennessee Titans most of his career, was shot at a condo he rented with another man. The gun was found underneath Kazemi.
McNair, who was married with 4 kids will reportedly be laid to rest this weekend.

I read that she was behind 2 months on her car. What? You have a car in yours and his name and you got a payment. I don’t think he was leaving his wife at all. But he did act like he was in the beginning. Trips, car,meeting her family, all of which are a no no. She was vicious she shot him 4 times. 2 in the chest and once in each temple. He did not know how truly vicious she was. I feel sad for his family. Feel sad for him too, he shouldn’t have cheated, but he didn’t have to die for it.

Seems when he finally started to think with the head on his shoulders and started to consider what he was really doing to his life and his family - he lost them both in an instant.

He was only with that Jumpoff for 6 months, he hardly knew the chic to be talking about leaving his wife for years for her. He proabably told her he wasn’t leaving his wife and she spazzed out. Obviously something happened they are both dead. She bought that gun 2 days prior to shooting him, she planned that isssh.

Wow… So now my question is… Why would a married man have a condo off somewhere else, maybe he had BEEN cheaing on his wife… sad
And from the reports of her “unraveling,” seems like he would have noticed it too because if I see a mofo twitching, I’m getting the fugg out! To hell with taking a nap.

tell the truth: most of us are struggling to understand why we do NOT feel an ounce of compassion for steve mcnair. “does that make me a bad person?” you think to yourself. no. what it means is that more and more, we as a human race are beginning to understand that what we put out into the world is truly what returns back to us. “the law of cause and effect”, “karma”, “what goes around comes around”, “as above so below.” there is some self examination in order for all of us…

Well no doubt it was sad to hear about the new details..but I knew it was going to be murder/suicide.
Take should be a wakeup call/clue to all those cheaters out there..
Male or Female… STOP TREATING YA JUMPOFFS AS YOUR GF/BF!!!! Shyt like this always end with someone in Jail or Dead… You start doing to much & they are going to eventually want u 2 leave ur current Gurl/Dude….
And McNair’s wife I feel bad for you..but how u NOT figure out he was doing this..they say he was at condo with this jumpoff 5 days out the week.. Seriously, u would think a “retired” football player would have more time to be at home since he is not out on the road anymore…
Maybe they was seperated, still legally married…
Who knows?

Sahel Kazemi reminds me of Lorena Bobbitt. But, she has trumped Lorena. I didn’t think anyone could out do Lorena when she got up from the bed that night to get a drink of water, and returned to John Bobbitts dismemberment. She cut his thing off and threw it on the side of the road. What ever happened to the days when hot grits and rolling pins were the weapon of choice?
Some women say, enough is enough. Chris Brown is lucky, because Rihanna could have smucked him up. He was probably fighting for his life.
“Hell hath no fury like a women scorned” meaning hell is nothing compared to a slighted female. Hell does not compare to, or hell does not posses the intesity of her fury.
Y’all remember that song, “It’s a Thin Line Between Love and Hate.” The sweetest woman in the world can be the meanest women in the world, if you make her that way. You keep on hurting her, she keeps being quiet. She might be holding something inside, that really really hurt you one day.
Here I am laying in the hospital
Bandaged from feet to head
Ya see I’m in the state of shock
Just that much from being dead
I didn’t think my woman could do something like this to me
I didn’t think she had the nerve
So here I am
I guess action speaks louder than words.
Its a thin line…

This is such a tragic and unfortunate incident that could have been avoided had he stayed home with his wife and children. Unfortunately, most of our brotha’s have an identity crisis and feel that anything with whiter skin is better… and they will bow down to the white skin woman– and this guy died for it! She was a fatal attraction!! And unfortunately, this guy had to die for a “jumpoff”….. and now his children are fatherless, his wife is without her helpmate, and for what????? Sex with a fatal attraction…what a shame.
Brotha’s better wise up and stay home and take care of your children, etc.

McNair was a fool, God bless him. You really don’t need to be a fucking a NORMAL 20 year old girl, let alone a crazy one. Young girls’ minds aren’t ready for the emotions that come with an intense sexual relatioship. He was sleeping with the devil and didn’t even know it. You’ve got to be a cold bitch to blow a sleeping man’s brains out twice over. *smh* all heed this cautionary tale

Steve McNair got exactly what he deserved.
You men are a JOKE. you have a good women at home and instead of fixing what is wrong in your marriage or relationships you turn outside your relationship. And you always manage to pick the crazy stocker types. So good for him. He found someone who was going to teach him a lesson and boy did she ever. I applaud her.

I knew a married man that got killed at his mistress house. Her ex-boyfriend broke into the house and killed them both laying naked in her bed. His wife did not even go to his funeral. I guess it would be hard to got to your husband’s funeral and cry when he got killed because he was cheating on you.
I have always admired McNair’s wife because even though he a a Pro football player, she still went to college to become a RN. She could have just sat home a shopped and write checks. My prayers are with the McNair family and the Kazemi family
RIP McNair - you did not deserve to die for your sin.

That girl was was just crazy . McNair cheating had nothing to do with it . Hes married but Im gonna shoot him because I think hes cheating on me and his wife… uhhh SHE HAD MENTAL ISSUES . If you heard her sister who raised her talk about here .They say she dropped out of school to run away with a previous boyfriend and was just an all around headstrong girl with plenty of baggage for a 20 yr old . Says she had issues with abandonment and being alone . McNair couldve been the single man of her dreams but she still wouldve capped that @zz if she thought he was cheating.
Its a tragedy for both families with no real answers .

@ HORSE.HEAD.NEBULA: You’re projecting a really long stretch. Are you jealous or just insecure?
@ LYNN: Ok sista soulja. So what about the females who sleep with married men? They are all saints, right? What makes you think McNair’s wife isn’t screwing someone on the side? How are you so sure his wife didn’t know the deal? Assuming there was adultery, for every cheating person, there is an accomplice. And it is men that are a joke? What exactly are you applauding? Who do you think is in a worse situation, someone dead and gone or someone left with a big liability and an embarrassing situation? You sound like a really slow dyke. Stop the madness.

I am sorry to say but I mostly feel sad for his wife and children, his poor kids will now grow up without a father. On another note I hope this is a lesson to these cheating men out there, especially these black celebrities who once they achieve a certain level of success is always looking to upgrade to some YOUNG, WHITE arm candy. I just think this tragedy could have been avoided, these situations often have warnings signs that people ignore.

I think this is a good lesson for everyone. These people did not deserve to die, but unfortunately, fate deals you a wicked deck and oftentimes we walk right into it. Married men, quit thinking it’s macho to have a jump off, especially if she is very pretty. Secondly, jump offs, why would you mess with a married man when he can turn around and do the same to you? You cannot and will not prospect when you do evil. It might look like it for awhile, but be sure, our sins do find out out.
My condolences to the families of the victims, especially McNair’s wife and children.

Another thought…on one of the Nashville news sites it says that she followed another girl that he was supposedly seeing as well, but didn’t confront her. If this is the reason she did this…she killed him for doing the same thing she was doing to his wife in the first place….

correction: You cannot and will not PROSPER…
Thirdly, if you suspect or know your man is cheating, you can either put up with it or you can leave his ass. I know it isn’t easy especially when you have children, so I’m not going to judge.

Exactly! Some women (for some reason) think that because a married man wants to screw her, that somehow means that’s she’s better than the other woman or something. No, all it means is that he’s getting bored and wants something new for a little while. My ex-husband has a girlfriend right now, and keeps asking me for another chance. Ummmm….no u fuckin loser.

When I first heard he had died I thought oh wow maybe he had a heart attack or he was sick or something, I felt bad. Then I heard a female was found with him, I knew then he had a mistress and that;s when all remorse went out the window. I felt bad for not feeling bad, I guess I agree with many of the posters on here, I feel hurt for his wife and kids. This chick was crazy, did you all read where she tried to position herself to fall in his lap before she shot herself. She thought he was cheating with another young lady. Like someone had said before she was paying two car payments and apartment rent, he cut her off completely. News flash to all you men who like to flash money: Be careful what you do, you can’t give a woman the world, then take it from her, especially when it’s the best living she’s probably ever been exposed to. Don’t make all these promises that you know you aren’t going to keep. The heart is a fragile thing and playing with someone’s heart….Well we see the consequence of that

“Equal and opposite reaction”
“karma”
Really though? I cheated on my wife and children, therefore I should expect to be killed. How about divorce? That’s sounds more like “equal and opposite.” I do not condone cheating at all, but I’m not going to sit here and say he deserved to be shot 4 times by his deranged mistress.

Nubian, how nervy of him to want you back. Good thing you are standing your ground. They always think the grass looks greener on the other side and then they find out that under all that green, there were a bunch of weeds. Now, like your husband, they wanna come home to where they had it good.
Good cooch can be bought or given for free. It is a dime a dozen. When are these women gonna learn??? Like you said, these men get bored and have to find the next conquest. Unfortunately Steve McNair paid a very hefty price.

It is funny what the other woman thinks, as someone else said “they think they are better than the wife”. I call it the “better than thoery”. If a married man meets a female and tells her all of the things he claims his wife doesn’t do, then yes the other woman will do those things and feel the man will leave his wife, because she is better than the wife. She willn’t cook, well I will; she isn’t having sex with him, well I will and so on. But the man fails that realize that the side chick wants everything that the wife has and that she starts off one way but will soon became the same as what you have at home. If the wife has a big house and a certain car, she wants it too.
As for this chick, if he cheated on his wife, what makes you special?

There is no way I could attend his funeral as his wife, he totally disrespected her and ESPN tried to downplay it. The news is reporting that he was cheating on the girlfriend with another woman…
“Like my grandma always said what you do in the dark, always comes to light.” He was a cheater, a liar and a coward to do such a thing to his wife. & kids Hopefully he was able to ask for forgiveness….

ON A PSYCHOLOGICAL STANDPOINT, THERE SEVERAL REASONS WHY PEOPLE CHEAT, NOT JUST ONE. CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MAN OR WOMAN THEY ARE MARRIED TOO, IT STARTS BACK WITH SELF. ITS SAD TO THINK THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHERSIDE. EVERYONE HAS FLAWS, AND TO CHEAT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T COOK GAIN WEIGHT, DIDN’T SUCK YOUR D&&K IS JUST AN EXCUSE OF WEAKNESS AND IMMATURITY. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN , WHEN THEY INDIVIDUAL HE ORE SHE RAN OFF WITH DO SOMETHING, IN YOUR VIEW NOT RIGHT…… ARE YOU GOING TO CHEAT ON HER TOO. iTS A RIDICULOUS NEVER ENDING CYCLE, EITHER YOU ARE GOING TO BE A MAN OR WOMAN AND WORK OUT THE ISSUES THAT HE OR SHE MAY OR HAVING OR DIVORCE AND LET GO. SIMPLE AS THAT

I have always been a frim believer that we are 100% in control of our own destinies. Murder is NOT the answer to infidelity and may Steve McNair rest in peace. However, our actions can sometimes lead us to situations we are unaware of and unprepared for. RUFUS (CL reader above) is right in saying that McNair could have just as well been a single man involved with the Sahel Kazemi. And as LENA B (CL reader above) stated, do not treat your jump-offs as girlfriends/boyfriends. A persons emotions are nothing to play with. Whatever she believed existed between her and Steve McNair drove her to commit the act she committed. She’s human, he’s human. It’s just a very sad situation - that more than likely could have been avoided.

I like the way his football family say he was this he was that, how great he was as a player kudos to him for being such a great player. He was also a cheater what he did to his family was wrong. Karma can kill to. This was a crazy mess that could have been prevented had he kept his dick in his pants. Now his boys have to live with the fact that there dad died a straight up cheater. In because he wanted a nasty young stank. Forget about how long he had been with his wife. I bet she would have never pulled that trigger.
