Steve McNairA Metro Nashville Police presser was just held regarding the shooting of NFL star Steve McNair and GF Sahel Kazemi and the events leading up to their deaths.

- Kazemi was pulled over for DUI Thursday morning between 1-1:30 AM. McNair was a passenger but was allowed to leave the scene via taxi with another person. Kazemi admitted to being high.

-Thursday night, Kazemi purchased a semi-automatic pistol. Police will not say who she got the gun from.

- Early Saturday morning, McNair meets Kazemi at his Nashville condo.

- 1:30 PM Saturday, 911 call is made alerting police of the shootings. Police believe bodies were actually discovered before 1 PM -- cops are "concerned" about the time lapse.

32. i wonder if it was made to look like a murder suicide...I mean, he was cheating...

33. How long did she date her ex-boyfriend? I hope they are investigating him. After a condo and upgrade from a Kia to a Escalade in a matter of months and vacations!! She didnt care about him being married. Women date married men all the time, the arrangement is great/ get what you want he gets what he wants and you dont have to be around each other 24/7. Many people won't agree but that's REAL TALK. I dont think she did it. I think it was set up to look like she did.

July 6th Press briefing on McNair/ Kazemi killings. Worth watching. Really odd how Kazemi buys a gun right after the DUI and Steve leaving to go home without posting her bail. Looks like she was an angry jilted lover; a crime of passion.

35. Neither of these two will go to hell because they didn't molest any children like someone else we know.

37. I agree with proud2Bblack totally! I wondered about the ex after reading statements he was making right after it happened.

This is still really bugging me. Hope they figure it out soon.

38. I think her ex may be suspect, but I feel little remorse for what happened to Steve McNair. His wife and kids did not deserve to lose him in this manner. What are his kids going to remember every single 4th of July for the rest of their entire lives? How will they explain what happened to "grandpa" when they father their own kids. I'm so tired of people sticking up for these tired celebrities. Oh, he was great, blah, blah, blah...Maybe it's a sign that "regular" people who are in similar situations need to take a look at their own lives and realize...this could be you! It called a wake up call people! I'm sure there's a married 36 year old man (somewhere in the world) who dumped his 20 year old gf and ran back to wife and kids after this happened.

39. Well, this is unfortunate because two people died here. But . . . . like they say-If you play, you gotta pay. If he would have been faithful to his marriage, then maybe he would still be alive today. The grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence. In this case, it's dead! Sad, but true! People will never learn from things like this though and that is what makes this crazy old world go around. So sad-especially for the guys kids!!

40. Has anyone thought about what his wife and boys are going through, my goodness he was found dead with his mistress. How embarassing for the family. If he was where he supposed to be, with his wife and children this would not have happen. I believe in Karma. God does not like ULGY........

41. Curious about the origins and meanings of the name Sahel, so I googled it.

In Arabic it actually means EASY.......how friggen ironic is that. She certainly was easy when it came to men.

42. Interesting information people have posted here which does shed some light to some possibillities. Without some of the information, it would be easier to think of how she may have done this, but I'm not so sure now. I'm more inclined to believe someone pulled her strings and lead her and McNair into a setup. If it's true that the ex-boyfriend was there at any time, after 4 years, I would say there is plenty of reason to think of a motive there. McNair might have been reevaluating things, but he sure had allot invested in her. Coownership of the vehicle. I'm sorry, just don't think she did it, don't think there is sufficient motive for her to have done it, sounds like she was still playing with the ex. McNair's wife also could have been ticked, but I doubt I would point the finger her way either. Anyway that's my take, hope the police figure it out.

43. The relationship is real simple. Though they obviously liked each other in the beginning, she was in part, his younger plaything, and he was her sugar daddy. If she had been his age, he likely wouldn't have bothered with her. And if he had been a custodian at the same restaurant she worked out, he'd be lucky if she gave him the time of day. They each got what they wanted, for awhile. But the relationship didn't have enough in common to form anything solid and long-term. They were just having fun. Her immaturity and naivety had her thinking he would leave his wife for her. He knew that wasn't going to happen, whether he told her or not. She was at his place waiting for him while he was out bar hopping. Her family said she doesn't like being along. She was a party girl too, but perhaps was ready to give it up for the high life but he wanted to bar-hop without her. Not just anyone was allowed to see the two of them together, and the paparazzi are either non-existent in the country music capitol of the world, or they follow musicians around, not retired QB's. He came home drunk, and she went off on a 'where have you been?' tirade. We know that they had flare ups in the past. We know that she had jealousy issues within her previous 4-yr long relationship. So why did she buy a gun two days before? He probably lectured her about being stupid after the DUI incident, even though he has proven on multiple occassions to be just as stupid. You don't tell a cop "I'm not drunk officer, I'm high." She also refused the breathilizer. He mad have been fed up with her and told her so. She may have put a bunny in the boiling pot and he forgot to watch Fatal Attraction. Anyone who has dated a much girl who is a teenager or close to it, can see this as a disaster. The nephew of Sahel, is is 27 says the family didn't like the situation either. She was young and naive. Still a party girl. But families often look the other way if there's big money involved, he's offereing a whirlwind 'romance,' and she might land in the big money. They say she seemed happy to. But there were stories that she had said they were going to break up. Those same people in-the-know were likely given a reason because she communicated with them multiple times per day, including her 'mother' in Florida via Facebook. We'll be hearing more about this story. The police aren't talking anymore than they have to. Nor should they. Not yet.

44. Also curious about the arabic meaning and origins of Kazemi, so I googled that too. It refers to one that controls their anger....... Not this particular Kazemi that's for sure

45. I would like to extend my prayers to both families in their time of sorrow. Not to take any of the blame off of the young lady but she was young, vunerable, and naive. Steve McNair should have know better than to cheat on his wife and play with the emotions of a child. He dangled the carrot in front of her knowning his intents were not honorable. Now he has paid the ultimate price, he's dead, she's dead, he's humiliated his wife and children. He could not possibly tell anyone that he loved his family. He made a vow in front of family, friends, and God that he didn't honor. That's not thecharacter of a good man, I hope others look at this as a learning lesson and if you make a commitment honor it or end it before someone else is hurt or worse -- DEAD.
