Public Memorial For McNair On Thursday

Truly a sad day, i wonder if lord favre will go
1) R.I.P. Steve McNair.
2) This is going to provide a terrible disruption for Florio's Hattiesburg airport stalking of Favre.
A damn shame. He was my fantasy football MVP for a couple of years...and I remained loyal to him and drafted him even during his lackluster Ravens tenure.
I trust they're not going to set up a public viewing for his bullet-ridden body....
But in this day and age you never know.
Lackluster perhaps... But after Kyle boller he looked like the second coming of Jesus Christ in purple and black.
We'll miss you Steve

I sure hope this doesn't make Bertt re-schedule is un-retirement press conference.
Steve you are dearly missed. You are an inspiration to a generation of young athletes and all people for that matter. Thanks for the memories.
RIP brother
