We at T-Rac’s Posse realize we are not usually the sentimental types, but today we all lost a great hero in our sport. Remember, athletes give us the vehicle to forget the life we live every day and enjoy kings of the gridiron battling for victory, glamorously compensated with millions. Our greatest season was lead by this king. Without his grace, one yard would have been much longer.
Steve McNair dead has jolted the sports community and especially Titan fans. He was this franchise. He gave us our identity and heart: play hurt, smash-mouth football, like the Steelers but with more raw talent and athleticism. One day, the franchise will become known in the NFL with the identity that was Steve McNair. Although not free from his own set of problems, his leadership on and off the field will be painfully missed.
Therefore, although some details could come to light that could taint opinions of #9, we are still going to admire him for what he was.
Thank you Steve. We’ll miss you.
