Ravens Comment on McNair's Death

by Bruce Raffel on Jul 6, 2009 9:52 AM EDT

The aftershock of the reported murder of former Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titan QB Steve McNair continues to resonnate throughout the team as well as the league. So many comments have been posted all over the news, the internet and blogs such as Baltimore Beatdown and Music City Miracles (SB Nation Titans' blog). I decided to post a listing of a bunch of sites that have put comments made by current or former players who stepped on the field alongside of McNair as they went into battle with this consummate NFL warrior.

Click here to read the Washington Post's article with comments from Ravens CB Samari Rolle, who also played with McNair in both Tennessee and Baltimore along with Mason, and Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome. As stated therein, Ray Lewis has had such a tough time dealing with the loss of his close friend that he has yet to publicly comment on the situation.

Feel free to post your thoughts and any other links with players comments who have played with McNair during their careers. Thanks.

Watching the Titans press conference right now.

Jeff Fisher talked for close to 20 minutes about Steve and Eddie just had a few nice things to say. You can tell how hard it is for all these tough guys.

You have to hate losing more than you love winning.

Yeah, he kept apologizing

Nice that he cares so much, as all the Titans and their fans do. But to apologize for the way he was released is sort of late, in my opinion.
