This is terrible.
CNN) -- Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair was killed in a shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, authorities said Saturday.
Steve McNair, 36, spent 13 seasons in the NFL, the majority with the Tennessee Titans. Police said they found McNair and a woman shot to death in a Nashville residence after receiving a phone call about an injured person. The woman has been tentatively identified, but her name is not being released, authorities said. A law enforcement source close to the investigation said the woman is McNair's girlfriend and that the residence is her condominium in downtown Nashville. Witnesses said he was a frequent visitor there. Authorities were questioning people who were near the home, but they said no one was in custody. They could not provide details as to the circumstances of the shooting. McNair's brother, Fred, also confirmed the death but had no immediate details. McNair, 36, spent 13 seasons in the NFL, the majority with the Tennessee Titans, before announcing his retirement in April 2008. He spent his last two seasons with Baltimore Ravens and he was the NFL's co-MVP in 2003. The owner of the Titans, Bud Adams, Jr., said in a statement that the organization was "saddened and shocked" to hear of McNair's death. "He was one of the finest players to play for our organization and one of the most beloved players by our fans," Adams said. "He played with unquestioned heart and leadership and led us to places that we had never reached, including our only Super Bowl." The Titans marked a Super Bowl loss to the St. Louis Rams in 2000. McNair attended Alcorn State in Mississippi. |

Roger Goodell, Jim Mora and Todd Liewickie summited Mt. Rainier yesterday. Sounds like Goodell almost didn't make it.

T-Jack to the Seahawks? Tee-hee-hee!
The NFL Network's Mike Lombardi is reporting that there's talk of quarterback Tavaris Jackson possibly demanding a trade if the Vikings sign veteran free agent Brett Favre. The 26-year-old Jackson would probably be low man on the totem pole if Favre signs, considering the team also traded for Sage Rosenfels earlier this offseason. Although Jackson is still young and has put up fairly decent numbers thus far in his career, it's safe to assume that he won't garner much attention on the trade market. He only has experience in the West Coast offense and he'll become a free agent at the end of the year, so why would any team give up a draft pick (assuming that that's what the Vikings would want in return) to acquire him? It's only a matter of time before the Vikings sign Favre and while Minnesota might want to try and deal Jackson to get something in return for the former second round pick, there doesn't appear to be much of a market for him. The Seahawks could be interested because they run the WCO, but all indications are that Matt Hasselbeck's back is healthy and backup Seneca Wallace already has starting experience in that offense. Another team that could be interested is St. Louis, who currently employs a walking stick figure at quarterback in Marc Bulger. But considering what they're paying Bulger these days, the Rams are going to try and get everything they can out of him before finally waiving the white flag on that situation. The Vikings might inevitably want to hang onto Jackson this season as insurance in case Favre's arm falls off at some point. I'm sure Brad Childress would sleep a little easier at night knowing he could at least fall back on Jackson and Rosenfels if the Favre experiment backfires. http://www.scoresreport.com/tag/tarvaris-jackson-trade-rumors/ |

Congrats to Cassel for his 60 million dollar deal. Even Don Greaty isn't making that much. Don will feel disrespected and will run up the score on everyone
to prove he's the better QB, and then hopefully when his contract is up, the Patriots will sign him to a 1 year, 2 million dollar "prove it"
deal.

NFL salaries are screwy. I saw the report on Cassel's contract and they had a graphic of the highest paid QBs, and I think the top 3 were Cassel, Matt
Schaub and Matt Ryan. After that, I think it was Rothlesberger, Brady, Manning and Palmer, which are the ones you would expect to be the top earners. I'm
not sure where Stafford fits in, but I suspect he may be the highest paid player in the NFL next year.
NFL needs a rookie salary cap ASAP. I've never understood why the Players' Association is against some kind of limit on rookie salaries. |

The fear would be that you would have another record company situation where players would sign their lives away. It's a whole lot to ask for a organization that doesn't even garentee health care |

Rookie contracts are already capped in terms of years, so no one can be trapped in a low-priced contract for more than 4-5 years (I think it used to be 4 years and now it's temporarily 6, but I'm not sure about that). And young players who outperform their rookie contracts are pretty much always locked up with long-term contracts. None of the contracts in the NFL are guaranteed, and that's a legitimate argument, but as long as none are guaranteed, I don't see why rookie contracts should be. (Plus most contracts have a signing bonus, which is guaranteed money). |
