Just about the time, Dear Gentle Reader(s), I finished reading Mike Lupica’s Wild Pitch, the Nashville cops were deep into the investigation of the death of Steve McNair, a former quarterback for the Memphis team.
A mention in New York’s Daily News claims that McNair was murdered by a girlfriend,one Sahel Kazemi, who then committed suicide.
Lupica’s book is all about a sports “hero” who couldn’t keep up with his “gift” because he thought that the right, if not obligation, to par-tay was part of the package. Since McNair left behind a “devastated wife” and 4 children, it’s logical to think he, too, believed the same.
Not much sympathy here for Steve-o or Sahel.
But, Hey! Athletic dudes of all levels of stardom, the gift comes with responsibility, not par-tay.
Don’t take my word for it; listen to Lupica.
Trust, but verify.
