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

It looks like former Atlanta Falcons QB and current dog-killing inmate Michael Vick is following in O.J. Simpson's footsteps -- he's shopping around a book about his life and crimes.
The proposed memoir of Vick's rise from poverty to stardom would likely be an attempt to show the NFL that he's sorry enough to be let back in the league. You know, sorry about the dogs, dog fighting and dog imprisonment, but also sorry for going to jail for 23 months. Remember, this is the NFL... it's almost impossible to get suspended forever. They still like O.J. and he killed his wife got imprisoned for stealing memorabilia.
The book will likely be a mixture of the "Da Vinci Code" and O.J.'s "If I Did It." Except with more dog torture. And 100% ghostwritten.

Nothing says Hall-of-Fame career like a yard sale! Hours after Brett Favre announced his retirement (again) from football, the NY Jets announced a 50% sale on all Favre gear.
Appropriate, since the Jets were barely 50% better with Brett playing QB.

Take last year's Brett Favre retirement speech, substitute Jets for Packers (and remove any references to playing well), and you've got today's news: Favre is done.

Gisele Bundchen may have plenty of help around the house next year too.
That's because NBC Sports is reporting Tom Brady could be out for the 2009 season as well, as his recovery from knee surgery isn't going as well as expected. Regardless, the paps caught Brady and Giz "celebrating" something the other night in New York, just as his Patriots were going down in flames thanks to the New York Jets.
Other football sources are refuting the news of Brady's slow recovery -- in fact one reporter says he's ahead of schedule -- but whispers are this could be a ploy on the Pats' part to get more bucks for Brady's backup Matt Cassel.
