Steve McNair
Steve "Air" McNair was one of my favourite football players.
Back in 2000 I watched on the edge of my seat as McNair lead a 4th Quarter drive the brought his team to within an inch of winning the most exciting Superbowl ever.
McNair was one of the original running quarterbacks that created new offensive systems and, hence, many new defensive systems.
He was known for his extreme toughness and played most of games hurt in some way. As he got older the injuries kept coming, and after 10 seasons and a change of cities with the Tennessee Titans (Houston Oilers), he was traded to the Baltimore Ravens and after moderate success (including a 13-3 season in 2006) he retired.
This morning Steve McNair was found dead by Nashville police. Already reports are circulating and being retracted about the cause of death (welcome to Twitter journalism).
ESPN have this video report from including an interview with Nashville Police:
