<p>Maybe it was a “Fatal Attraction” kind of deal.</p>
<p>Last I read, the gun found was identified as the gun that belonged to her; but nothing public yet whether it is the murder weapon.</p>
<p>Jeff Fisher wasn’t a sworn witness. He could say whatever he wanted and spoke from the heart. He had no duty to do anything. He is a leader and was helping his players, former players and our community through this tragedy- a tragedy made worse by the shocking circumstances.</p>
<p>You’ve avoided my questions, Momofwc, but you are so right he wasn’t a sworn witness. You are also right he could say what he wanted. Now you understand what is meant by “spin”. </p>
<p>And I’ll add that I believe Jeff’s motives are honorable. Pretending to forget(by not mentioning) how Mcnair died may help others heal. If I were in his position, I’d likely do the same thing. But that doesn’t change that what he’s doing is spin.</p>
<p>I don’t think there’s much danger of anyone forgetting how he died. There isn’t really any spin that can be done here is there? And as a lawyer, aren’t I an expert on spin without someone on an internet forum trying to educate me?</p>
<p>I believe this thread has sunk to personal attacks. I think others are entitled to personal opinions without being called names.</p>
<p>There is going to be a press conference in 15 minutes to announce that it was indeed a murder-suicide. Very sad. Makes me wonder what went wrong so quickly that it came down to this.</p>
<p>It appears she shot him while he was asleep on the couch. The police say she believed that McNair was involved with yet another woman, and that she had been spinning out of control in the 5 to 7 days prior to the shooting, telling people that “she was going to end it all.”</p>
<p>Sad.</p>
<p>Very sad, indeed…</p>
<p>Definition of wacky and/or a bad shot: shooting a SLEEPING guy 4 times.</p>
<p>The forensic report includes evidence that three of the shots were from several feet away–probably first to the head then 2 to the chest while he was asleep on the couch/chair. The final shot was to the opposite side of the head AT POINT BLANK RANGE with the gun touching his head. She fired the gun that killed her with the gun in contact with her temple at the time it fired. Ballistics confirmed she fired the gun, the one that she purchased just hours after being bailed out from the DUI. </p>
<p>There are interviews with close friends of the girl that confirm that she had financial problems, he was not bailing her out of these, and that she though he was seeing another woman. I am making no judgments, just posting what has been released as part of the investigation. </p>
<p>His wife went on record saying she had no idea that he was having a relationship. The police report traces the relationship time line with the girl for 6 months.</p>
<p>sunnyflorida, what does the sequence of those shots tell us? Just being an average lay person, I would think the first three were fired from a distance as she was probably apprehensive and scared, and then the final one, a kind of f*** you. I have no idea, just trying to think of where her thought process could possibly be.</p>
<p>Strange to think his wife had no idea. Although the relationship between McNair and Sahel was a short one, it has been reported they took several trips together, about 6 I think. Not wanting to be judgemental either, but it seems odd to me that you wouldn’t know where your husband was. </p>
<p>“Honey, I’m in New York doing a promo for ESPN.” (Really in Cancun)
“Honey, I’m in Boca Raton for a charity golf tournement.” (Really in Vegas)</p>
<p>Do you think she was really clueless, or just decided to look the other way?</p>
<p>I saw a video that was taken of the DUI arrest a couple of days before the shootings. McNair slips out of the car and takes a cab home, leaving her there to deal with the charges. According to the police, she asked them to have him come talk to her when she was in the cruiser. The police said he was not coming over and was not happy. I think the way he handled that was a real clue to her about how he felt about her. When my daughter heard about the other, other woman, she said “he’s cheating on the woman he’s cheating with - and someone is surprised by that?”</p>
<p>Edited to add - maybe the wife had no idea about this particular woman. I find it hard to believe that she was his first affair in 12 years - he was very blatant about it with very little effort to hide anything. I think he was acting with very little thought that there would be any consequences.</p>
<p>I saw the DUI dashcam video also, and saw McNair and the other guy walking away. It was reported that he did come down to the station a few hours later and bailed her out.</p>
<p>My point was that this was more likely premeditated and yes the final shot to McNair was an FU shot. And then she killed herself. This was just in response to postings that it could not have been her, that she could never do this, that no one had come forward with comments that she could ever do this. That she was not that kinda girl.</p>
<p>He must have ****ed her off big time. He left her there with the DUI arrest, He probably did NOT want a public record of this. He went back and bailed her out but she must haven gotten the feeling that he was not really going to be there for her. That he was not really going to divorce his wife and leave his family for her. She went out and purchased the gun illegally withing hours of the arrest. She she then killed him in cold blood while he slept. </p>
<p>There were posts here defending his affair saying his marriage was over, his wife had to have known, the house was for sale…and so if the marriage was over there was no harm in this relationship. However, there were no divorce papers, the home in Nashville was reportedly for sale so they could purchase another, and his wife is saying she did not know about the relationship. </p>
<p>I was attacked at being shocked by his double life. There was lots of rationalization about why this is a normal life for him and similar athletes. </p>
<p>I still feel he led a double life, and that his legacy was stained by the decisions he was making, despite the wonderful things he did with his money for the community. And that this was not an innocent or harmless affair. Nor was this an innocent or harmless 20 yo.</p>
<p>Not that it would have made a difference, but I dont understand how the person who came home didnt immediately smell the blood and possibly the residue left from a gun being fired 5 times.</p>
<p>“I was attacked at being shocked by his double life. There was lots of rationalization about why this is a normal life for him and similar athletes.”</p>
<p>A common occurrence on CC. It makes some people feel better to think that this could “happen to” anyone and that no one is above irresponsible behavior. The facts have supported what many of us first thought. Surprise. </p>
<p>Of course none of this means that this isn’t a terrible tragedy. It is, especially for McNair’s wife and his kids. They are the ones who have to live with not only his death, but his now-tainted image. And they also have to live with the notion that he literally threw his life away for a most-likely meaningless affair with a 20-year-old unbalanced waitress who “could never do such a thing to anyone.” Even more terrible to contemplate.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>I don’t think that it’s strange that any wife might not know that her husband is having an affair. When you trust someone, you don’t think twice about out of town business trips or in town business dinners. If you doubt your husband, you see a girlfriend under every rock!</p>
<p>It’s only strange in the sense that it was foolish of her to imagine that she was lucky enough to be married to the only faithful man in the NFL. But almost everyone is foolish when it comes to very personal matters. How many parents think they gave birth to the sweetest kid in the world? How many of us note the remarkable coincidence that the faith we were born into happens to be the only one that’s true? It’s a universal human trait.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, what about Tom Brady?
