I want to know if his wife was there as well.



Mourning Michael

Yes, she was there – Eddie George was so handsome and articulate – I was so proud to see such a great black man standing there representing. Bishop Walker’s “Let he without sin cast the first stone” memorial sermon at McNair’s farewell ceremony, was awesome and stirring. He kept it real and let us all know that we are ALL sinning and doing what we arent supposed to sometimes so why are we hatin on McNair like that? Riveting…

my sentiments exactly. if it were me I’d just show up to the funeral to take a long ***** over his grave…after drinking expensive champagne all night that I bought with HIS money.

what would she say? “he was a good man”? “a good husband?” “a good father”? she’s a good woman for even showing up. she shoulda wore a red low cut, tight short dress with a young 20 yr. old stud on her arm as an accessory.

I really have to admire his wife. I don’t know that I could have found it in me to give a blatantly unfaithful husband such a nice going away. Zora Neale Hurston – a famous black writer from the Harlem Renaissance- stated and/or implied in her writings that the black woman is the “mule of the world.” Translation: black women have to shoulder so much of the burdens put upon us by both society and our own men, our men who NEVER appreciate us. I pray God’s blessings on the wife and her children.

Wow…that’s a hard one…hmmmm, should I attend my husband’s funeral who was shot and killed by his mistress? All kind of mixed feelings go into a decision like that. Here we have twelve years together and children. Should I honor that part of his life or should I go and spit on his grave. His mistress, by killing him, took away my ability to express my deep anger to him and his funeral is the last and only time I can reconcile my emotions-Gee, that’s a toughie.



Divine

It was very touching and a great memorial.
Bishop Walker referred to the situation as the “elephant in the room”
and the sermon was stirring.
You the whole thing on wkrn.com

It was televised on all the local channels in Nashville.

Eddie George is very handsome and articulate. And another one of the original Titans that are very outgoing and down-to-earth and loved in the community. And so is his wife, Taj (from SWV).
You can see them around town and they are never stuck up or standoffish.

my heart goes out to the wife i know it hurts her that he’s gone but it hurts more why he’s gone and the way it happen that is a sad way to go to the wife be strong for your kids and everything will be okay.another woman took your husband life thats just something you can’t get over are put out your head give it some time god is here.

That is tough. But she LOVED him. Despite how it happened, she both heart-broken and grief stricken. I’m sure all she feels is pain. But she handled it with dignity.
This was a public memorial. They will have a family private memorial.

@Divine,

She’s a good woman to honor his death. I’m sure she’s gonna need to heal from all this out of the limelight. I went thru a similiar situation (recently) and out of love for my children, I went, paid my respects and was there for my children.

If I were his wife I would not have paid for a casket, not even a suit. I would not have paid for a cremation that I can do myself. I would have put his ***** in a grave butt naked & lit a match.

The Best

7/10/09, 18:29:pm

I think that it is sad that so many people feel his wife should have behaved any differently than she has. Yes he cheated on her, and for that he paid with his life. Why is that not enough? I am a black woman, and I DO NOT CONDONE CHEATING. However, I also DO NOT CONDONE REVENGE. At some point in our lives we have to make ammends for our actions. It is not any of our place on Earth to make someone pay for hurting us. I do believe Karma will take care of it.



Broadview

7/10/09, 18:59:pm

@The Best
Question for you, how can Karma take care of it? The two people who would reap the Karma are both dead. Just saying, that statement really didn’t make any sense at all.



CF98

7/10/09, 19:03:pm

Because “The Best” these women are bitter(yes I’m a woman myself)

I mean what’s the worst that could happen to Steve now? He’s dead.

Not to mention she shares children with this man how could she “***** on his grave” and explain that to his sons? I mean what if her sons make a bad choice will she stop loving them because of it?

Besides that’s also a slap in the face to Steve’s family his brothers and mother if she did that. She handled this well even though I believe she was aware of his cheating ways to begin with.

Umm… Errrrr….

“Eddie George was so handsome and articulate – I was so proud to see such a great black man standing there representing. Bishop Walker’s “Let he without sin cast the first stone” memorial sermon at McNair’s farewell ceremony, was awesome and stirring. He kept it real and let us all know that we are ALL sinning and doing what we aren’t supposed to sometimes so why are we hatin on McNair like that? Riveting…”

I’m sure the men were Amenin’ all over that service. What do you expect women to say on this one? RIP? Or just plaster on a weird grin under some raised eyebrows? I didn’t’ hear the pastor’s eulogy, but just from the title, it seemed to be more focused on people’s reasonable reactions than on McNair. The title seems to defend McNair and seemed to be a pretty insensitive focus considering the public humiliation that Mrs. McNair will have to endure for the rest of her life.

So people aren’t supposed to be disappointed or even outraged? You mean because McNair was killed, we are supposed to suppress our “that-sonuva-bee” comments? Sometimes folks use the “Hatin’ Card” or the “Judgmental Card” too quickly. This situation is less about hatin’ and more about sympathizin’ for Mrs. McNair and all the other wives at that funeral whose husbands have a side piece posted in a secret condo and ridin’ around in a $50,000 Escalade, living a double life.

There’s sinning and then there is outright deception and betrayal. While the Bible says, “Let he without sin cast the first stone,” it also says, “Be angry and sin not.”

For Mrs. McNair to attend this public memorial in light of this public embarr*****ment is commendable.

Where’s McNair’s roommate? Is he married? If he was, did his wife know he was splitting the rent with McNair in this secret condo? Did he look Mrs. McNair in the eye and really give his condolences? I’m sure some of McNair’s homeboys knew this chick. But they ain’t sayin’ nothin’.

While we are all sinners, we cannot turn a blind eye to infidelity—from a man or a woman. Let us call a spade a spade and then move on. Hopefully, the pastor slipped in the scripture, “Husbands love your wives like Christ loved the church” for all of the men who are cheating on their wives. The black family is under attack, and we need to encourage loyalty and integrity in marriages. If we don’t, then what does marriage mean?

I think *****ing on his grave would be much easier to explain to his sons thank having to explain why daddy died in a condo he was playing house with a 20yr old in…when he had his own home and family.
it makes me sick that people want to portray this pig as a “good man”. he was a punk…not even a man let alone a “good” man.

just like you think only “bitter” women would say negative things about this punk, I believe only stupid women would want to portray his as a “good man” sorry.

Oh, I’m gonna have a stomach ache from laughin’ at this whole thing.

@Kia – Yeah the jumpoff/baller game has got to be at an all time low right now. You know them w*****s want to kill her again for messing them up like that. They don’t know when they are gonna see those men again. There has to be dust***** rolling thru the big timers strip clubs at this time. Don’t worry w*****s they are just dumb jocks at least 75% of them will be back.

7/10/09, 20:47:pm

I think you’d have to live a little ‘life’ to understand his wife’s reaction. They’ve spent 12+ years together and built a family … it’s not a stretch to say that she loves him. And I’m sure she loves her children enough to not put them through any unnecessary drama re: her not attending their father’s funeral. Regardless of his cheating, he didn’t deserve to die for cheating … and I hate a damned cheater, but those kids Dad did not deserve to be murdered for his indiscretions. Not by any stretch of the imagination. He deserved a divorce not a coffin. It’s a sad situation for everyone involved.



BM

7/10/09, 20:50:pm

@JH69, @Oh Well
I cannot believe you women and any other black woman would hold these sentiments. Whats funny is McNair was a guy who traveled a lot as a pro athlete. Do you think his wife never cheated on him? Or are you sure both of you are never gonna cheat on your man or fall into temptation? If I was your child and you did this I would be very disappointed. This just makes me appreciate my MOM even more. She would never do a thing like this.

McNair, McNair, McNair, I cannot believe you made me shed a tear for you like this. A tear I could not share for Micheal Jackson. All that great body of work on and OFF the field, and you had to go out with this hanging over you. Life can be so cruel.

What you did on the field is trivial compared to the lives you touched outside the gridiron. I pray your good works will carry you in your journey as an Ancestor. And guide us that we may learn from your wisdom.

My Condolence to your my family and close friends.

7/10/09, 21:03:pm

All jokes aside, hopefully this situation opens up a dialogue in black relationships/marriages. I hate that he cheated on such a beautiful woman as well, but he should not have been killed for it. It does, however, underscore the notion that the “wages of sin is death”. There’s just no way to continue a sinful lifestyle without something in your life dying, whether that be hopes, dreams, relationships, or opportunities. Unfortunately, in this case, the sinner lost his physical life and left his wife and children alone in the world to pick up the pieces.

Hopefully, in due time, Mrs. McNair’s heart will have healed enough to allow her to love a man again and receive the happiness she deserves.



hey now

7/10/09, 21:04:pm

After my husband had a heart attack, I found out he had cheated for at least a year!!! Now he is a devout christian, praying i don’t move on after our princess graduates from high school. I have no love for him now; and my soul mate is waiting for me as he has been for many years…real *****!!!

I can only imagine how hard is was NOT to think of the way he died.

I’m sure the eulogy concentrated on his good deeds and his contribution to football but damn!

I’m also sure the sermon was based somewhere on the lines of “he who is without sin…etc. etc.”

I would only hope they spoke at least for a hot minute on love and honoring your wife, husband, etc.

Wasn’t a McNair fan. However, I now hope this young man has found the peace he desperately sought while he was with us.

I wonder if they turned the funeral into an altar call?

Probably not. It would’ve put more emphasis on the way he died.

**sighs**



Been there, done that!

7/10/09, 21:23:pm

I can tell you from experience how she feels. No my spouse wasn’t murdered but my husband traveled extensively on his job.

McNair’s wife played the role of a single parent for months out of the year while he developed his career. She moved when he was traded, set up the new home, made sure the kids were connected in school and outside activities, and saw that everything was perfect when her hubby returned home.
When she found out McNair was cheating in the marriage and was killed by one lover, she was wrestling with emotions of shock, anger, disbelief, and confusion as to how much of her marriage was a lie.
As she tries to come to terms with her own emotions, revelations will continue to surface about the double life he lead. Bank accounts, secret expenses,condoms, photos, phone numbers, and the media will continue to play out over the next few months if not years.
Though Steve is gone, for her this is just the beginning. She has to carry this burden all while caring for her children.
The only thing that while carry her through whole is her faith in GOD.
I pray for Ms McNair and also the girl’s family.

Two selfish people left behind so much pain.

The cheating man

Proverbs chapter 6:24-32

24 keeping you from the immoral woman,
from the smooth tongue of the wayward wife.

25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty
or let her captivate you with her eyes,

26 for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread,
and the adulteress preys upon your very life.

27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned?

28 Can a man walk on hot coals
without his feet being scorched?

29 So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife;
no one who touches her will go unpunished.

30 Men do not despise a thief if he steals
to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.

31 Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,
though it costs him all the wealth of his house.

32 But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment;
whoever does so destroys himself.

7/10/09, 22:19:pm

I’m a strong believer of the saying “you reap what you sow”. He cheated on his wife, the mother of his kids with a young, craze, jealous kid who took his life away. I hope it was worth it? Not to sound cold hearted BUT I don’t feel sorry for him at all because I think he got off too easy. The perfect solution would had been for his ***** to shriver up and fall off. Who I do feel sorry for is his wife and his kids. How selfish of him to leave them with the embarr*****ment and shame just because he couldn’t keep it in his pants. I have to give his wife many props for being the strong, black woman that she is to attend his funeral. I’m sure a lot was for the kids sake but I’m sure it was hard for her just the same. Sure she’s hurting right now because after all, he is the father of her kids but come tomorrow, she’s going to be thanking that sorry azz as she sign on the dotted line for her new ride. I’m not mad at her!!

@ss… that was a nice quote…. and so true. The black has no respect…

I have been following this story from the day it happen to the end… and my thoughts was this female ‘Murder .. Suicide’ it was her doing all along.. she caught him out their in his sleep ‘I hope she lives on the other side in turmoil’.. everlasting… for what she did what right she had to take his life no matter how ‘weak, dishonest,and evil he was’ .. he should have just divorce his wife if he was going around sleeping .. ..

I read today he had a six year relationship with a ’stripper’ in Minnesota… this man stop loving his wife after the 2nd child… because he had no respect for their ‘vowels… his mother said it’s the Devils Work… yes Ma’am… your son was the son of the Devils with the Jessies…

Ayesha>>>>CHILE YOU BROKE THAT DOWN!!! Yours was the best commentary I’ve seen on this subject since the news broke. Yeah, I’m sure the men were high-fiving and amening for days.

I can bet my first child that if Mr. McNair wasn’t a baller or well-known, he wouldn’t have gotten such a “turn the other way and act like the man was a saint” send off.



mycalah

7/10/09, 22:28:pm

If I did not have children by him I probably would not pay for anything or show up but since she has children with him I understand her being there. Some times you have to go above your feelings for your children.

7/10/09, 22:29:pm

@ Been there, done that—

I’m willing to bet that none of the verses you typed were mentioned at his funeral.

In my opinion, this would’ve been THE most appropriate time but alas, people want to act like he was such a humanitarian.

On one hand, I’d say honor the deceased yet at the same time, don’t skirt around the truth.

Hell–I’ve sang over many a body and the preacher can always find a way to bring the “wages of sin is death” portion into his sermon.

I just wonder if it was done here.

IMO– That “he who is without sin” at this time would’ve been more out of line AND diminished the facts behind the reality of how he perished.

Not speaking ill of the dead but for once, let’s be honest here.

It’s OBVIOUS how he died. Look at the life he lived!

I just sincerely wished that he would’ve never left the house that fateful day. The young girl might’ve had time to think about it and probably lost her nerve but now, we’ll never know.

I think the wife was being the bigger person and an even better mother… I we did not have any children I do not see me attending or talking to his close ball player buddies again because we all know that they new..Don’t come with any nice words at me know because I am cutting anything that reminds me of him and his choices first starting with all of his friends… I would really have to rely on God to change my heart and mind because just going off of human emotions I might be like Angela in Waiting to Exhale setting all of this ***** on fire to get rid of it… I don’t know like someone else said this is just the beginning I am sure her reward will be GOd sening I even better man into her life and someone might be ckecking for her now in the back gorund but is trying to let her come to grip with all that has happened first… After the funernal I would not want any compnay espeically his family and friends, but I know that family is some what differnet…

@1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!
I’m willing to bet that none of the verses you typed were mentioned at his funeral.

In my opinion, this would’ve been THE most appropriate time but alas, people want to act like he was such a humanitarian.
It’s OBVIOUS how he died. Look at the life he lived_______________________________________________

You are so right. Sin is sin. Sin means death. His exit from this life was most foul.
Funerals are really for the living. If the Pastor had spoke also on McNair’s cheating ways his message would have also validated the wife’s anger she is/or will obviously feel. It would have been a catalyst to help her get through her grief.
Now everyone wants her to hold up her head and only think of him as a saint. Now is not the time for that.
If the pastor had quoted scripture it might have also caused some serious introspection on the numerous christian athletes in attendance. The scriptures clearly state this behavior destruction and death as a possible outcome.

@SWIFFJUSTUS
sad Women would have pounced on the opportunity to act a fool was Because Despite His weakness THAT IS MAN’S I’m figuring Mr Mc Nair Made sure Home Was taken care of
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You are not “Takin’ care of home” when you ho’ chase. She would have been justified however she acted a “fool.” No one would have criticized her!

His death and his secret life was most foul.

Don’t like it…argue with GOD ’cause I can guarantee you the women in that part of the world would clown all over his dead body!!!

27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned?
and
32 But a man who commits adultery
lacks judgment;
whoever does so destroys himself.

its sad, but his destiny and his life was planned out a long time ago and this is how it was supposed to go down ,i feel hurt by it all, but sometines out men get caught up in behind other women outside of marriage, a long time ago there was a certain man who had a wife and he too played around on his wife and he had two outside womens and he played them both to the hilt, and things rocked on and i will be damned if this jocker did not p*****e away he died and the wife and his family got the funeral all set and the day of the funeral the wife was sitting up front surrounded by childrens and their families and i will be damned if these two outside heffers didn’t start a dam fight right up at the mans casket and they was fighting so dam hard that they messed around and knocked this man out of the casket and on to the floor and guess what the wife just sit there and watched the show and kept fanning herself real slowly and looking pretty, with her family and never sais a word so these women just made a ***** out of themselves, the wife won all the way, when a man acts a dam fool and mess up just keep your business tight and in time all wounds from the hurt that has been caused will heal, time heals all wounds i am still sadden by the whole thing he should have played it smarter and men needs to leave a lot of this untammed pu**y along they will live longer.

@ “Oh Well” I never said Steve was a “good man” or a saint clearly he wasn’t perfect.

BUT I am just explaining why I understand why she went to his funeral. She built a life with that man and shared kids with him if anything she did it for her own peace of mind and out of respect for the children more than honoring Steve.

Sadly there is no good explanation to the kids of how he died but I think it would be much harder to explain why she wouldn’t give their dad a funeral?

And if it was that hard for her to do she could’ve had Steve’s brothers do it. Its not as if she was his only family member.

some of yall are asking when is Steve’s karma going to come or how it will come….ah he is dead. That is major karma right there.

losing your life is the utlimate punishment. and on judgement day he has to answer to the lord why he got in such mess. i wouldnt want to be him

i would not have been a part of the funeral services were i his wife. very early on, i would have let his other immediate family members know that, if they wanted him buried, they would have to do it. i would be on extended holiday in an unknown location. but best believe, i would be calling the insurance comp’ny daily asking about my damn check! he died in shame so why should she have to be the subject of prying eyes and people feeling sorry for her?? fvck that! i would disappear until i felt it was all blown over and then i’d take the money and really disappear… why not???

I really hope that black men and women start talking about the secrets in their relationships. No one wants to be an example in this situation, but unfortunately, Steve McNair has made himself into one. Hopefully, men realize that no woman is worth detroying your life and your family for. Hopefully women realize that another woman’s husband is not for you to sleep or fall in love with. Man, there are absolutely no winners here.

@BM let me tell you this it is because us women like to forgive men for all the b.s they go out there and do is why the keep on doing it! Many women would not care what their men would go out there and do as long as they keep getting the money or as long as they are the “wife” they don’t care what their man do.

I don’t care what no one says i stand by my statement I do not condone cheating a man should respect a woman and i find cheating to be a huge disrespect to a woman. I think he got what he deserved! He had a good woman at home he ain’t got no call out there with another one!

I think his wife was really nice to show up at that funeral I would have stayed my ***** at home

I admire his wife for the strong woman she is because I have to be honest, I would not have been there. Steve McNair PUBLICLY embarr*****ed his wife and children in death through his words and actions.

While I am a young 22 year old proud black woman and I do not condone violence, there is this saying my mom always said “if you keep knocking at the devil’s door, someone is going to answer you.” And that indeed is what happened to Steve McNair.

I frankly don’t give a damn what sermon the pastor gave about casting the first stone, he cheated on his wife, had pictures of them sail boating and *****, and then she killed him and his wife and most importantly children have to live with the fact that there father was killed because he was cheating.

I apologize, but I don’t feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for his children. He has a little girl, what was he teaching her? What was he teaching his sons? I believe if you do not want to be married then get a divorce. Steve McNair was wrong and if I was his wife he just would have been put in a wood box and laid to rest in a field somewhere, he publicly shamed his family in death due to his actions. May he rest in peace if God lets him.

There you hating *****es go again! How the Hell do any of you know what Their Marriage was like? Did it ever occur to any of your dumb *****es that she KNEW about the side jawn and was cool with it? Most wives in high profile celebrity marriages know about and ACCEPT the side jawn as a reality as long as they remain in the top spot and keep reaping the benefits,then they don’t care! Steve McNair by all accounts was a good brother. Whatever his romantic situation was,that was between him and his wife and none of y’all have the right to p***** judgment on him him. ***** some of y’all can’t even get a man,let alone keep one,so kill all that noise about what you would have done. Half of you would drop your thongs at the first chance you had at some celebrity ***** so fall the ***** back with the bull*****.

7/12/09, 17:34:pm

First thing first, this is truly a sad and unfortunate situation all the way around. Extreme doesn’t even begin to describe this situation.

By most not all accounts, Steve was or appeared to be a comp*****ionate and caring guy. Also a duplicitous, double-life leading guy, too.

Can’t believe the direction that some of these comments are going in so I’ve been waiting…. just waiting for the *****hole that would blame the WIFE for a man’s DECISION to commit ADULTERY. R u kidding me???

Her fault? What are you on, CRACK? What about wanting to have his cake and eat it, too?

Hey, if you’re not happy….LEAVE. That’s not JUST for women, okay?

Don’t give me that bullsh*t it’s cheaper to keep her….If you’re man (or woman) enough to fvck around then be a Man (or woman) about it and get a divorce.

If YOU’RE NOT HAPPY, GTFO!

On another note, a lot of you have hinted that you would NOT have provided funeral services for him and wonder why she did….I wondered myself, how a wife who found herself in that situation would, too…..

Truthfully, I think his family (his brothers and his mother) took over the planning of the funeral because I recall an interview where one of the brothers mentioned upon hearing the facts stated that they would be ‘consulting’ with his wife.

They knew that regardless of how much she loved him, there was a very good chance that he would not have received anything close to the funeral that was recently televised. I think his 4 brothers stepped in along with his mother to take over the planning of his funeral.

She might have had him cremated.

7/12/09, 17:56:pm

Mocha1: I agree with everything you have said. I think it was more appropriate for his brothers and mother to plan the funeral because if it were me, he would have been placed in a field somewhere.

Saafir: I don’t agree with you because even if his wife did know about him cheating that doesn’t make it right. Where are peoples morals now a days?

Secondly: He was NOT a “good brother.” You said “By All Accounts” he was a good brother and if you really mean “all accounts” then that includes being a FAITHFUL,NON-SELFISH man.

He was an unfaithful and selfish man because he ultimately gave his life for some 20 yr old *****. What about his wife? What about his children? He was thinking selfishly when he had a mistress he was not thinking about his children or wife.
He is not a good brother he was selfish and now his soul is either in God’s hands or somewhere else (if you get my drift).

ALL YALL SINGING “MAY HE REST IN PEACE” SHOULD BE HOPING HIS WIFE AND KIDS FIND SOME PEACE…YOU “REST” THE WAY YOU LIVE! IF YOU LIVED WRONG THAN YOUR RESTING WILL BE WRONG. HE IS GONE AND THERE IS NO WELL WISH FROM BLOGGERS THAT IS GOING TO BRING HIM OR HAVE AN AFFECT ON HIS”RESTING” STATUS. YES, WE HAVE ALL SINNED BUT SINNING AND LIVING A DOUBLE LIFE, AFFECTING INNOCENT WIFE AND CHILDREN IS A WHOLE NOTHER THING. JUST CAUSE HE IS DEAD DONT MEAN YALL HAVE TO PUT HIM IN SAINT HOOD. LETS JUST KEEP IT 100% BECAUSE THE DELUSIONALISM IS THE REASON PEOPLE ARE PULLING THESE TYPES OF STUNTS ANYWAY.

Monogamy is a CHOICE! It ain’t natural,it’s a CHOICE. There was no way in HELL he was running around town with this girl and his wife didn’t know about it. He provided for his family and if his wife was cool with the arrangement,then who are you to cast stones at him? It amazes me how we always expect other people to live up to “our”standards when most of us fail to live up to them ourselves. Man is not meant to spend the rest of his life with one woman. You can quote any religious doctrine of your choosing,but in the REAL WORLD,no man out here,living or dead ,wants to spend his entire life with one woman.
