did anybody read this article from fox sports...

We can quit calling Steve McNair a great leader now. Leadership starts at home.

And I'm no longer all that interested in hearing about the community service work McNair did in Tennessee and Mississippi. Service to community begins at home, too.

There's no doubt he did good things for the community. Those things should be valued for what they were. Many people in the public eye or not have done good and bad things and one can't throw out the good even though the guy did bad things. BUT...Whitock is right about the kids being a deal breaker when it comes to making those types of choices in one's personal life. I can't believe more aren't talking about the drunk driving stuff though. Those kids having a drunk driver for a dad isn't cool either.

Leaders should be good example setters, hence have higher standards for their behavior. Those, he didn't have.

Either way you look at it, it's a sad story. Everyone loses, especially those 4 boys.

None of us knows the circumstances in his marriage and I won't hazard a guess. It's not for me to condemn him now for his poor choices. He's not around to make things right for his kids.

He's human and he screwed up royally by involving this girl (and that's all she is to me...she's less than 2 years older than one of my nieces) so getting involved with a married man had this young woman in way over her head.

I think it's sad that this is the legacy he left his children. He didn't leave them with a very good message of what it is to be a man, husband or father- only that he is much beloved as a former player in the NFL and he is tragically flawed in his relationships with his family.

I have never cheated. Never messed around on a girlfriend either. If somebody new came along, I broke up with her....I have regretted that decision from time to time. But my conscience is clean, when it comes to cheating.

Ditto

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
