McNair and His 'Friend' -- Before the Shootings

TMZ has obtained photos of Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi on vacation together about three months ago.

Steve McNair -- launch photos

In the photos, McNair and Kazemi can be seen parasailing together on some kind of beach getaway. It's clear the two had some sort of special relationship.

McNair and Kazemi were both found shot to death in Tennesee yesterday -- McNair's body was riddled with bullets, Kazemi suffered just one shot to the head. Authorities say a gun was found very close to her body. Officials won't classify the incident as a murder/suicide just yet ... but so far, the facts seem to point in that direction.

McNair, a former NFL MVP who was married with four children, was 36 years old.

UPDATE
-- Detectives for the Nashville PD say they've been told McNair and Kazemi "had been in a dating relationship" for several months. And while it is clear they can rule McNair's death a homicide, detectives have not yet classified Kazemi's death, pending further investigation.

61. WOW. There are some ignorant MF'ers on this board..more than I I have ever seen on any board ever. While the guy was married and it APPEARS that this was a mistress, I see alot of racist comments that just focus on the race of these people. If ignorance is bliss some you are the happiest inbreds on earth.

62. As the bible says "judge not, lest he be judged". All I can say is my heart goes out to his poor wife and his four kids during this very difficult time. A lesson to all men, cherish and love your own family and make them a priority in your lives. Enough said.

63. #51: Hey rick! A cheatin man using and emotionally abusing women AND kids ain't no innocent! I don't feel sorry for him AT ALL. :)

64. Let me first say this is a very sad story. We really only know the "public" image of a celebrity. Often, the image they want us to see and believe. Some, not all (most) man-boy athletes can't take it...wnen the clapping and cheering stops. Continue to search for HERO WORSHIP. 20 years old? Telling about HIS mentality. And, I am not a hater. Fame, money, access, etc...sure that's nice. But, at the end of the day all you have is a nicer car, house, etc. Dead is still dead.

65. #52: BlueEyedHeather GREAT! So you have about 8 years left. Don't use them all on one guy. Spread yourself around a bit before you hit 30 and are put out to pasture. :)

66. And Keith Norfleet? Jett Jackson? Their MySpace pages and comments mean nothing? Telling someone to RIP two days before she dies? Go check out the Tennessean comments.

Ignore Michael Jackson for a second and hurry on over to Tennessee, TMZ. Go do some snooping in THAT direction.

67. 52. The lesson here is that black and white or black and arab shouldn't mix; it is a sin against God. My pastor always reminds us every Sunday that interracial mixing is a sin...I hope God forgives these souls for the sin they committed. In case you wanna know I'm a 22 year old white female; i'm not from the 50s.

You may not be from the 50s, but I'll bet you are from Appalachia....somewhere in the hills. Your pastor probably tells you to mate with your brother or your cousins.

BTW....from what I have seen, girls like you are a lot thirstier for AA men than they are for you.

68. 38.
THE TRUTH # 28. If you give 98 % of men millions of $, they will cheat on their wives. As time goes by most men become unattracted to their wives and wish they can get with younger and prettier girls. No one should blame them. Women's beauty diminishes as they get older but men's taste for beautiful women doens't change with age.

Are You Kidding??!
A Man living with his Wife and children, in a cardboard box, under the fwy, will sneak out for a piece of azz, from a another Woman living in a cardboard box under the same fwy.
Money doesnt factor.
Color doesnt factor.

70. poster #55 the gun powder residue and her finger prints on the gun will prove she killed Steve.

We'll have a better idea in a few days, but the image being revealed about this girl isn't good.... emotionally unstable. Her mother was murdered when she was 9 years old. And, friends of hers are stating she was talking about killing herself a few days ago.

71. 12. And yet, news of murder-suicides of a married man and his girlfriend will not reduce all of the multiple baby mammas and baby daddies that are so prevalent in a certain low socioeconomic subsection of the African-American community.

******************************
WTF are you talking about???? There are mutiple baby mommas in every race....Just as there are '"Groupies"in every race.
Why would the death of this man and his mistress have any bearing on that?
I don't know where you found the info you obviously copied and pasted in your post. But perhaps you should spend more time "learning" something than you do trying to appear as IF you know something!

73. I don't appreciate race being brought into this matter. This is two people who probably had no business together no matter what the race.

74. I don't know why the wife isn't a suspect. If my husband ran off and vacationed with a younger woman, I'd be pissed. Not saying I'd murder anyone, but the wife definitely has a motive.

75. TMZ....why are you not moderating these racially depraved idiots like BlueeyedHeather? You delete other comments, yet you let this loser babbel on about her depavities. What's up with you?
