The Daily Procrastinator

So much for my portion of the “procrastination vacation” or whatever the others here are calling it.

Hmm . . . What should I do now that I've retired? How about a 20-year-old?

On July 4, 2009, Steve McNair, former QB for the Tennessee Titans, was found dead in a Nashville condominium he owned with a buddy of his.   Right off the bat something is off about this:  how many married men do you know that own real estate with their friends?  But I digress.

As you know, it gets worse.  McNair was found in the company of a 20-year-old Dave & Busters waitress,  one Sahel Kazemi.  While the term “friend” is being thrown about by the media, I’ve seen online photos of the two para-sailing together (way to keep it on the “down low”, Steve) and she had been driving a Cadillac Escalade registered in his name.  Again, very subtle, Steve.

Ms. Kazemi was found dead with one gunshot wound to the head.   McNair was found dead with two gunshot wounds to the head and two to the chest.

Two in the head, two in the chest.

Many media reports point towards this being a murder-suicide.  Barring some incredible feat of athletic ability not yet seen on this earth (with the possible exception of Rasputin), it would seem that McNair is the homicide victim in this scenario.  That said, the police have not yet ruled Ms. Kazemi’s death a suicide.

We here at the DP keep coming back to “Two in the head, two in the chest.”

Now, far be it from us to start some wild speculation or wacky conspiracy theory, but one really has to wonder what Mrs. McNair’s opinion (or his sons’ for that matter) on this relationship would be.   I kind of doubt she was understanding.  As a matter of fact, I would be shocked if it were anything other than, “THAT SON OF A BITCH!  THAT SLUT!  I’LL KILL THEM!”  But we can probably assume the police have been checking Mrs. McNair’s alibi at the time of the shootings.

But once again:  “Two in the head, two in the chest.”

If popular media is to be at all trusted (and why shouldn’t it be?), this is the hallmark of a paid hit.  Now, we here at the DP would not be so reckless as to suggest that Mrs.  McNair actually hired a hitman to kill the two, but wouldn’t that be one HELL of a twist to the story?
