Would someone mind telling me why Steve McNair’s BAC is newsworthy since he was not operating a vehicle or firearm at the time of his death?

you certainly have an air of spirituality to your post about McNair, one that I can appreciate given the angle I took in my own post about Steve called Steve McNair:Flaws and All.Its so easy to judge a persons flaws especially when it comes to things like marriage and infidelity. While it is hard to be faithful it is a conscious choice like most things in life. Thank you for inviting me to share in your article. Its a breath of fresh air to run across writers who report the facts without being biased and aren’t afraid tell the truth in the process!

Thanks for being honest about the circumstances surrounding the Steve Mcnair’s tragedy.We are all humans and nobody is perfect but we should all remember that making poor decisions and judgement could cost us more than we can ever imagine.R.I.P Steve and Kazemi.

I understand that’s how Sam Cooke is remembered, Mizzo, that was my point. Part of the reason why I wrote my book was to change that perception because in truth, his whole death was a set up–to some people in his inner circle, he was worth more dead than alive. Sam actually died because trying to hold on to what he had built, and that’s a far cry from dying in shame.

I don’t sense any disrespect on your part, and like you said, that’s the perception of how he died. I just try to make people aware that there was a whole story BEHIND the story. Perception means a lot and when it’s negative it can be damning, as was true in Sam’s case.
