hulk hogan meat shoes: He was always a mediocre QB that for some reason got way too much credit.

His stats aren't mediocre by any means (new window)

Especially during the years he "got credit" as in 00-03.

4NSpy: //tough SOB won games with a bruised sternum.

I remember that, I wondered how the hell do you throw a ball at all with a bruised sternum. That guy must've had some serious tolerance for pain.

So far we have:

TV Salesmen - TRIFECTA COMPLETE
- Ed McMahon
- Billy Mays
- Karl Malden

Inactive Stars of the 70s/80s
- Farrah Fawcett
- Michael Jackson

Athletes
- Steve McNair

 
Kierkegaard's Pseudonym 2009-07-04 04:46:26 PM  
shipofthesun: I would like to see the flow chart that involves McNair in a crucial role dying just now in a precise plan. Nothing against McNair, but wasn't there some C-lister just begging to be killed to improve their career that could have been inserted just as well, say...Chevy Chase?

First they go big... Michael Jackson. Take out a worldwide symbol of what it means to be American. He's the Statue of Liberty. Then we go local, niche. Billy Mays hits the insomniacs and old people hard. Farrah Fawcett obliterates the adolescent masturbatory fantasies of the middle-aged. Karl Malden hits film geeks and old people again (our weakest link). Carridine puts some worry in the fetish crowd. And now Steve McNair... right at blue collar Real America and black people.

It's self-evident that this is a coordinated assault on our famous.

We need to bomb someone now.

Phoenix_M: Where's his restaurant?

Something like two miles or more away, quite far from downtown. He was killed under half a mile from the festivities on the Riverfront there today.

 
keithrogan 2009-07-04 04:47:04 PM  
He was shot in an apartment, presumably the woman's apartment. How long until the term "estranged husband" comes into play?

God Damn! I didn't even know he was dead! I don't care too much about McNair, but now I find out Eddings died last month... way to ruin my 4th of July.

think it's safe to point out the following:

God never won Publishing Clearinghouse and wanted to collect, wanted to learn the Smooth criminal lean, favored the ShamWow, was indeed missing an Angel, and hates the Titans.

Don't forget he killed Carradine to learn Kung Fu.

or God really prefers good ol' fashioned Cleveland steamer over autoerotic asphyxiation.

/oh, hey there Lucifer. no thanks. i'm just here for the entertainment. i'll be sitting right over there...

 
thetango 2009-07-04 04:49:26 PM  
Now on ESPN News ... no information other than what is in the original article though.

 
LittlestPirate [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 04:49:33 PM  
ESPNews finally just said something about it
"at his home"

Mortensen report forthcoming

Alexis Arguello found dead on Thursday. So, yeah.

strothgar 2009-07-04 04:49:56 PM  
Yes, I know that is Vince Young....

 
heavythumb 2009-07-04 04:50:12 PM  
^ i think that is vince young on the madden game. McNair retired in 2007 and had been playing for the ravens for a few years.

 
Tachikoma [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 04:50:13 PM  
Umm... has anyone checked on Abe Vigoda today?

A genuinely mediocre and overrated QB, in fact.

Street View of murder location (new window)

That doesn't look like a great area to me. Any Farkers in TN have any idea what kind of neighborhood that is like?

Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair has been found dead in Nashville, Tennesee, his brother tells CNN.

we've already been over this, that's Steve Young, right Fat and Nasty 86

tdpatriots12: A genuinely mediocre and overrated QB, in fact.

Calling Vince Young mediocre is an insult to the truly mediocre.

That's Vince Young. McNair retired before the 07/08 season, and he wasn't playing for the Titans then.

 
DallasDarling 2009-07-04 04:51:20 PM  
sarasotarockstar: Walter Cronkite is next...he's pretty much on death watch at the moment.

Other possibilities coming soon are Peter Falk and of course Swayze.


I had Michael J. Fox in my death pool.

 
TheBigBadCrystallineEntity 2009-07-04 04:52:07 PM  
strothgar: After the NFL he had just opened a restaurant

Yes, I know. A picture of him playing baseball. Awesome, isn't it.

But most importantly...


MADDEN CURSE STRIKES AGAIN


FAIL

He's a good pick to shake things up.

 
tdpatriots12 2009-07-04 04:52:20 PM  
kronicfeld: Calling Vince Young mediocre is an insult to the truly mediocre.

Indeed. I remember making numerous posts (here and elsewhere) to that effect on the day he was drafted.

But I was apparently wrong about Mario Williams vs. Reggie Bush, so...

Michael J. Fox will live to 112. You mark my words.

 
Gunderson 2009-07-04 04:52:36 PM  
I don't have a dead pool, I think a Closet Pool is more fun.

My bets are on David Lee Roth and Queen Latifah to come out next.
