Terrible news on July 4 as Steve McNair and an unidentified women were found shot to death in downtown Nashville. McNair was a co MVP winner in 2003, sharing the award with Peyton Manning. He will be missed by many NFL players and fans like myself. Our thoughts and prays go out to his family and children. Here are some comments by some fellow NFL players taken from yahoo sports.
Manning said in a statement Sunday that he had some great battles with the quarterback.
“Sharing the NFL MVP honor with him in 2003 was special because of what a great football player he was,” Manning said. “I had the opportunity to play in a couple of Pro Bowls with him, and the time spent with him in Hawaii I’ll never forget. I’ll truly miss him.”

The Titans drafted Vince Young(notes) in 2006 to replace McNair, who had mentored him since he was a teenager. They never played together but did play against each other that year.
“He was like a father to me. I hear his advice in my head with everything I do. Life will be very different without him,” Young said in a statement Sunday.
