When Being Up To No Good Bites You In Da Azz.


This past weekend, former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair was killed by a woman he'd been having an affair with just before she allegedly turned the gun on herself.

Naturally, as a lifelong fan of the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans, I was shocked and saddened by this news. McNair was still a young man, with a wife and four children, and a long life ahead of him. Now, of course, thanks to following his dick, he's a dead man.

Truth be told, I have not been above running around in the past, but I eventually...and it was really long eventually at that...came to realize that such antics were a display of poor character. I was better than that and, let's face it, any woman who's okay with being "the other woman" isn't exactly a shining example of pristine character herself.

I'm pretty sure McNair would agree with me. If he hadn't been shot to death by a woman he shouldn't have been with in the first place.

I don't mean to sound preachy. It's just that he'd still be here if he hadn't chosen to play with fire rather than stay home and play with his kids.

Now, as a result, they are without a father and will, at some point, come to understand the circumstances that lead to his death. No child should ever have to hear that their dad was caught up in some stupid shenanigans that led to him being taken away from them forever.

If only he'd thought of that before he decided to take the low road.
