It appears that future Hall of Famer
Steve McNair, in my opinion the best quarterback to play for any football team in Tennessee, pro or college,
was murdered in his condo in downtown Nashville along with an unidentified woman. The details are still sketchy, and it may be a while before we know the details, but this is very sad and very tragic.
He had more guts than any player I've ever seen, and he was a leader in Nashville on AND off the field, very involved in his community. He fought being underrated from the time he starred at Alcorn State, where he SHOULD have won the Heisman Trophy. He was underrated as a pro, but but the Oilers (and then Titans) on his back, and he carried them to within a yard of the Lombardi Trophy.
I agree with GoldnI; The Titans should immediately retire #9, as there will never be another. His family and friend are in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope they are in yours as well. Rest in Peace, Steve, you were the best.
It's going to be a very quiet 4th tonight at my house.

Damn, I'm ready for everyone to stop dying already! First Farrah, then MJ, and now Air McNair?
When the Titans came here in 1997, all the focus was on Eddie George. But McNair came into his own over the next few years and consistently got better as a player even after Eddie hit his peak. He helped give the team an identity here when they were still considered "the ex-Oilers." There wasn't one play I remember him for, because there were just too many. Even when he wasn't playing at his best, when he was injured or not throwing as many passes, he still carried the whole team on his back. He may not have been like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady in that he had a ton of long, graceful passes, but he always got the job done. And even when he went to Baltimore in 2005, I think everyone still considered him to be "ours."
And that's to say nothing of his community involvement. He was trying so hard to revive the neighborhood in which he was shot.
I went and found my old #9 jersey in the back of my closest after hearing the news. I'm going to wear it downtown to the fireworks tonight and I hope everyone who has a #9 jersey will do the same.
By the way, Bud Adams, Mike Reinfeldt, Jeff Fisher--Retire the #9 jersey. It's time. The reason why no one on the roster wears #9 or #27 right now is presumably because y'all were planning on retiring the numbers at some point anyway. I remember two years ago when Michael Griffin wanted to wear #27 when coming onto the team, since that had been his number in college, but was refused. But it's time now to retire #9. The first Titans home game is on September 20, do it then to kick off the season.

We live nestled between three large stands of hills, the row out the front door, the row over back, and the cluster to the north. In effect, we live in a little bowl.
When I got home last night, the across the street neighbors were setting off fireworks.
The dog didn’t like it, but I thought it was one of the most beautiful things I’d ever heard. The sound would pop up and then you could hear it bouncing around over heard off of the hills, the noise lingering on until the next firework went up.
America when will you be angelic?
When will you take off your clothes?
When will you look at yourself through the grave?
When will you be worthy of your million Trotskyites?
America why are your libraries full of tears?
America when will you send your eggs to India?
I’m sick of your insane demands.
When can I go into the supermarket and buy what I need with my good looks?
America after all it is you and I who are perfect not the next world.
Your machinery is too much for me.
You made me want to be a saint.
There must be some other way to settle this argument.

Wouldn't holding an Independence Day roman candle to your face be a quicker form of death than
rafting and swimming through TVA's spilled
arsenic, mercury, and selenium? Roane County is also
farming their ash spill out to other less fortunate communities for their own future holiday fun. TVA's Christmas gift just keeps on giving during any holiday.

There is so much here that I just can hardly stand myself.
Let’s recap:
- Mark Sanford is about the douchiest guy that I’ve seen in a long time. His wife, however, was pretty cool by telling him to “Suck It” even though she says she believes in forgiveness. That whole soul mate thing was ridiculous and I’ll even go as far as saying that his little governor had no idea that being a hypocrite can get you in a world of trouble despite those pesky words he said in his campaign ad. Yet, dude isn’t going to resign.
- HOWEVER, Sarah Palin will. I’m not going to throw her on a pyre here but I will say that I’m not getting it, her press conference was brain cell reducing and let’s not forget that members of the McCain team threw a very weird, oddly-timed curve ball this week. Why did they bring up the train wreck aspect now of her role in the election last year? I don’t know but most folks I know like the underdog role, but not the roll of a leader quitting. There has to be more to this than meets the eye.
- I don’t want to speak ill of the dead but let’s face it, Michael Jackson was a very rich junkie. I am suffering Michael Jackson Death Fatigue. Can I get medication to treat that because Lord knows Jackson had doctors hopping him on goof balls every fifteen minutes. In other news, I had no idea that Jackson had a kid named Blanket.
- Al Franken is now a Senator. This might be fun to watch.
- This grosses me out more than I can say in words. The Washington Post needs it’s butt kicked and that’s all I have to say on that.
- North Korea. We get it. You are firing missiles on Independence Day. Again.
Oh, there was more. The news this week was a good old fashioned bus plunge.

The alpha wars between the dogs in the house hit a holy battle yesterday as each dog decided that there could only be one. If they had opposable thumbs and swords, we would be cleaning up more of a mess than we already have.
Let’s look at what we have here:
One very old, cranky dog that the bro-in-law loves is named Jura and is as big as a mobile home. Jura is all dog and weighs in about 80 lbs. If you have ever seen Timothy Treadwell and Grizzly Man, than you have seen her mouth which reminds me of a bear’s. Needless to say due to her size and her crankiness level, the Jehovah’s Witness folks do not stop by and leave pamphlets. Alas, no one at Chez Coma will not make the 144,000 person cut as Jura thinks that everyone should die that she doesn’t know or that we don’t introduce her to. If she likes you though, she’s pretty much a big teddy bear. At this moment she doesn’t like …
Pinks: Her new sometimes friend but on July 3rd, her arch nemesis. The formerly pregnant now fixed dog that howls like a bloodhound, has some pit bull in her and who is generally a happy-go-lucky canine apparently thinks that Jura’s role as Billy Bad must end. She is filled with tons of energy that Jura finds annoying. Squirrel Queen and I were tossing dogs and pulling them apart faster than you can say “Sham Wow.” Yesterday, the fight for Alpha happened in earnest all day. I was even on the phone with Vibinc at one point and had to tell him I’d call him back when the blood started flying.
It was like Shark Week without the sharks.
Mabel, of course, tried to maintain peace by sleeping on the back of the couch and ignoring the bloodshed mired in sweet dreams of a recent endorsement for her candidacy for governor.
The Dog Whisperer would so take these dogs into foster care.
So, the fight for Alpha continues. I’m putting my money right now on the grand dame of Jura but one never knows in these situations.
Mabel refuses to make an endorsement of who should lead, because as you know, she has loftier things to think about.
