  Shot Dead!  The headline tore through the sports world like a bullet.

Shot Dead!  People read the headline and were shocked.

Shot Dead!  People judged.

The bottom line to this tragedy is not that was an imperfect man.  The bottom line is not that he cheated on his wife.  The bottom line is not even that was murdered….

The bottom line is that ’s wife and kids are without a father and husband.  For whatever imperfections the man had, that is tragic.  Reading about his demise is hard enough for them I am sure, but reading the judgement of their Father has to be worse.

Everybody knows was not living the way a husband and father should live.  He made a mistake and payed the ultimate price.  A price that will haunt his family, and his legacy forever.

’s wife and ’s kids are the victims that are left behind to deal with the vultures.  The horrific blog and jokes that are flying around sicken me to the bottom of my soul.   Those kids do not deserve to hear that about their father, no matter his moral .

I remember when WWE wrestling legend Chris Benoit snapped and killed his wife, kid and himself.  The same thing happened then.  The vultures flew in and made fun of a horrible tragedy.  Something about death and destruction brings out the sadist in some people.

We do not know the fine, intimate details of Steve Mcnairs life, marriage, or morals.  We have no right to judge the man.  It really is that simple.  Who among us knows people that have cheated on a spouse.  Should they then all be murdered?  Of course not.

I would love to see get a new headline.

Shot Dead!  And People Cried.

Shot Dead!  And People Grieved.

Shot Dead!  And People Had Just A Touch Of Mercy and Class.
