Riddled with Bullets in a Murder-Suicide Committed by Your 20-Year-Old Extramarital Girlfriend Who Just Got a DUI: How Not to Have a Cheerful Holiday Weekend
Okay, here’s the requisite Steve McNair update, as if you haven’t already gotten the details 800 times while watching SportsCenter on loop.
The woman found dead with McNair was Sahel Kazemi, a 20-year-old waitress who had been arrested for DUI (with McNair in the car) two days earlier. McNair’s body was riddled with bullets; she suffered a single gunshot to the head, and police found a pistol nearby. Police are not looking for any suspects, and conventional wisdom suggests it was murder-suicide. The two are pictured here in a photo that TMZ claims was taken about three months ago.
None of this is cheerful news, of course, but it’s not like there were going to be new details that would make anyone less dead. Our best wishes go to the McNairs, the Titans organization, and the NFL family — except Roger Goodell. That guy’s a dick.

Wait wait wait… Are you implying that a star sports athelte would have an inappropiate relationship with a much younger woman and that said relationship would end badly?
Sure KSK, next you’ll be telling me a former USC and Buffalo Bill star would commit a double homicide and then lead police on the slowest high speed chase in the in LA.
I mean that’s just crazy ta… oh right.
Will this Summer of Death ever stop taking people that are no longer making meaningful contributions in the realm they made their celebrity in?
Also $20 bucks on John Goodman being next.

Bizarro Celebrity Rapture continues.
July 5th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Summer of Celebrity Death toll, with causes:
Carradine (”the Hutchence”)
Ed McMahon (cancer)
Farrah Fawcett (cancer)
Michael Jackson (heart failure)
Billy Mays (heart failure)
Karl Malden (extreme oldness)
Steve McNair (murder)
With the exception of Malden, ages are trending younger. I think we’re due for a drug overdose, maybe from someone in the Saturday Night Live cast.

Sahel Kazemi is an Iranian name. So, I think it’s fair to conclude that this was orchestrated by Ahmadinejad to try and divert attention from the revolution in Iran right now. Those crafty Persians!
July 5th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Don’t forget:
Chuck Daly (cancer)
Dom DiMaggio (extreme oldness)
Dom DeLuise (extreme fatness)
Bea Arthur (Jeff Ross’ career)

McNair caked on his side piece. Beach trips,Versace Sunglasses,Escalades. For a crazy 20 yr old that is a fucking Dave and Buster’s waitress,I can see how him telling her what the deal really is can lead her to homicidal/suicidal rage…….
July 5th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Also don’t forget:
Mitsuharu Misawa (Back suplex)
July 5th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Man with wife and 4 kids is fucking a 20 year old and Goodell is the dick? Your a fucking idiot
July 5th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
On the bright side, at least he wasn’t banging little boys.
July 5th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Your a fucking idiot
Ha ha, that’s awesome. You win at life, sir.
July 5th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Have you read this website before? I think he may have been… *gasp* slightly joking?
Maybe “your” the fucking idiot, idiot.
July 5th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
I love people like you “Big Black Richard.”
You make me so happy that however strange, distorted and hard my life gets… I will NEVER be the worst-off in society.
Bravissimo. Truly, congratulations on being such a giant douche.
July 5th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
i wonder if the guy having the affair will get as many “fans” to come to his funeral as the guy molesting children.
July 5th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Uh oh. Everybody left Alexis Arguello (suicide) off the celebrity death list. Maj will sic a Bad Left Hook writer on you.
July 5th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Why McNair and not his agent?
July 5th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Because Bus Cook was probably the trigger man. After all he couldn’t have McNair stage a comeback and detract from his efforts to find his other over the hill client work. Fuck off Land Barron.
July 5th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
You forgot about the Mexican midget wrestlers…
July 5th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
I’ll take the $20 on Goodman, and I will offer $50 on the Shamwow Guy as next to die a horrible death.
July 5th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Why did his friend call someone else who then called 911? You’ve got two dead bodies in the living room. WTF is he going to do? Make them less dead? Why didn’t he just call Mary Kate Olsen? She would know what to do.
Do you think if he had won a Superbowl he would have gotten a better caliber side piece. You would think he could get an upgrade with three Pro Bowls.
July 5th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Actually what intrigues me is the ex-boyfriend who seems to know all sorts of things … and apparently this chick was his high school sweetheart who dumped him for McNair. Dude better have an airtight alibi …
July 5th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
If we are taking bets on who is next then mark me down for the Cript Keeper out in Oakland. He can’t cheat death forever. If you guys get a chance check out her mug shot from the DUI on Thursday and try to tell me that she didn’t have a little crazy in her.

“She was such a nice girl,” Howard said. “I can’t believe she would do that.”
July 5th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Someone follow Arm Strongcock around. I think he might off the ShamWow guy so he can collect on his $50 bet.
On second thought, fuck that, the ShamWow guy must go down…and he must go down haaaaaahd.
July 5th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Why do extra-marital affairs have to be so complicated.
July 5th, 2009 at 11:34 pm
With all of the (completely coincidental) celebrity death this summer, Hollywood is going to have to call in the reserves very soon.
Now is your time to shine, Other Dad from “My 2 Dads”!
July 5th, 2009 at 11:35 pm
@Tomlinson’s Pain Tolerance
You are implying that Al Davis hasn’t died already. The Count Davis is no friggin joke. At least Count Davis is some pussy, emo Twilight deuchenozzle. If Al Davis wants blood, he will get it from the next overmatched hire he makes.
July 5th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
This is all very sad and scary either way. Apparently he wasn’t the stand up guy he portrayed so well for so long. Very sad….
July 6th, 2009 at 12:03 am
Well so much for McNair’s reputation for playing through injury.
July 6th, 2009 at 12:12 am
I hope they’re getting this all down on video for “The First 48″ on A&E. “So this guy, McNair, he played football? For what team?”
July 6th, 2009 at 12:31 am
still shouldve been vince…..epic fail
July 6th, 2009 at 12:58 am
Jeez, they had photos of them parasailing? How did the wife not figure this out?
July 6th, 2009 at 1:24 am
So that’s where McNair’s groin injury came from.
July 6th, 2009 at 2:09 am
Rex Grossman better take notice. Then again, he fucks ‘em and leaves ‘em.
Plus it’s harder for Rexy’s conquests to walk for a few days after a romp with the “Cannon.”
Slingin’ Cum and Throwing it Deep: The Rex Grossman Story. (Coming in 2010). Starring Tim Tebow as Rex Grossman, Louis Gossett Jr as Lovie Smith, and Zach Galifianakis as Kyle Orton. Rated NC-17.

Admission: this is the first of all of these celebrity deaths that I find legitimately disturbing.
July 6th, 2009 at 8:18 am
Should have been you, Favre. Should have been you.
July 6th, 2009 at 8:48 am
Remember; guns don’t kill people, crazy ass 20 year old waitresses dating an ex-NFL QB kill people.
July 6th, 2009 at 8:59 am
Damn Arm Strongcock, the ShamWOW guy is a great pick.
Can I tease Goodman, the ShamWOW guy, and Edward James Olsmos?
Celebrity Death Keno is just about the most fun way to gamble since having unprotected sex with hookers.
July 6th, 2009 at 9:01 am
Where was Peter King during all of this? Conveniently takes a vacation and QB’s not named Brady or Favre start dropping?
July 6th, 2009 at 9:40 am
@ J.L. White – You leave Greg Evigan alone! He was BJ and the Bear!
Everyone forgets Fred Travalena – including Mrs. Travalena, who got tired of him busting into Reagan shtick in the sack.
July 6th, 2009 at 9:48 am
I just hope St. Peter doesn’t tell him he’s not allowed in Heaven’s training facility.
July 6th, 2009 at 9:58 am
Whoever had Robert McNamara in the “Next to go” pool, come on down and collect your money.
July 6th, 2009 at 10:54 am
I am saddened by this development… I mean the release of her picture. She’s not even cute much less hot, and don’t tell me she had a “great personality” since we know that’s b/s. Maybe she was into some nasty nasty that Mrs. McN wouldn’t do, but couldn’t he find a prettier ho’?
Maybe she got him a break on the unlimited play cards at D&B’s – he’s got four kids after all.
RIP Air McNair – it’s still my favorite Classic Super Bowl and I keep hoping that the route will go two yards deeper.
Does this affect his HOF chances – positively or negatively?
July 6th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Does this affect his HOF chances – positively or negatively?
The only thing that would have affected it positively would be those two yards you are hoping for!
July 6th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
I bet actual $ on Jimmy Carter the last few years and we know how that’s going.
/should have a celebrity death draft

“Also don’t forget:
Mitsuharu Misawa (Back suplex)”
and of all of these deaths…Misawa’s was the only one that made me sad. Emerald FROSION~!~!~!!!! And I feel bad for McNair as well, but his judgement on this whole shit was the proverbial “not a good look, dukes…”
July 6th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
Who knows if Steve and his wife had started a seperation process, while everybody is jumping to conclusions. As far as the age gap, it happens often (especially with older white guys & Russell Simmons)
July 6th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
I keep reading in the comments sections of these McNair stories that the main reaction from a lot of people (read Middle Aged Divorced Women and Born Again Virgins) is, “That’s What You Get For Cheatin!”
Really? I thought that you either got forgiven or divorced; one of the two. I guess horrifically murdered does make more sense, though. How could I be so glib as to think that his children would be better off with a live, cheating father than with a dead, celibate one?
Thanks to the sanctimony and hard-heartedness of these brave internet commentors, we can finally move past Marital Infidelity. After all, no one would be stupid enough to break a marriage vow ever again now that they know that, “That’s What You Get For Cheatin!”
