Cowards Corner
Steve Mcnair Tribute
Ditto for me. I had a whole tribute section of dedication to him on Horrorphilia #5, before the episode was erased. I couldnt have said it any better. I think Jamie made me shed another tear.
I was a Houston Oilers fan since the Warren Moon days. I remember one year were they had the #1 defense in the league and Joe Montana who played one last year for the chiefs destroyed them in the
playoffs. In 93, Moons time was up and they had to start looking for new blood, someone to reboot and lead the team. I was hearing much talk of a QB at a small college that was impressing everyone around
him. His name was Steve Mcnair and he played for Alcorn State. I was able to catch a live Alcorn State game on ESPN. He threw 4 touchdowns and ran like 80 yards. I was like what the fuck is this!
My Oilers will get this guy I started to pray to the Gods that this would happen. Sure enough he was drafted 1st round by the Houston Oilers in 1994. In 1995 he had to ride the bench behind Chris Chandler and be adapted in slowly.
In 1997 Buthole Adams the Houston Owner moved the team to Tennessee but kept the Oiler name until 99. Many fans in Texas abandoned the team and supported Dallas. I stayed with them because I knew there was greatness coming. In 96-98 Mcnair threw for 7090 passing yards and 35 touchdowns. In 1999 with a new team the Tennessee Titans he led them to the Super bowl. People that did not know of Mcnair certainly did then. I was pissed to see all these bandwagon fans show up. I knew deep down I was one of his first and I was proud of that.
Mcnair sadly never returned to the Super bowl He won MVP in 2003. 2005 was his last year as a Titan as he went to the arch enemy Baltimore Ravens. He led them to the playoffs with 3,050 yards and 16 touchdowns. He stayed 1 more year with the ravens and realized his body had taken too much and he could not compete. Ending his career with 31,304 passing yards and 174 Tds.
Around 2004 I gave up on NFL. I was tired of their bitching and crying from these rich spoiled bitches. It was not fun for me anymore so I stopped watching. Steve Mcnair never fell in that group and I always enjoyed watching him and remember the good times I had. Now he is dead and media and fans judge his life and the bad choices he made. Well I don't care how he died and the circumstances, I will miss him and I will always Remember #9. A true fan RIP Steve.

As an Oiler that transitioned to a Titan, I agree with every syllable you wrote. Well put Jamie!

What did McNair and his g/f have in common?

They both did their best work out of the shotgun!

You're going to hell for that! But that was a good joke. Rip indeed for Steve. One tough hombre.
