It seems clear from the news dripping out of Nashville and being broken on tmz.com (the new starndard for hard news, apparently) that Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi were in some sort of relationship. Given that Kahel was 20 and McNair married, that was a rather troublesome detail. The NY Daily News fills in another piece of the puzzle this morning, reporting that friends close to Mechelle McNair – Steve McNair’s wife – say that she had no idea about the affair and the first she found out was in the hours following the news that her husband was dead.

So, that’s awful.

The easy guess, of course, is that McNair was trying to break it off with Kazemi and it went awry. The Nashville Police will have the final say on that, but the word locally (I am still in Nashville this morning) is that their investigation is centered on piecing together as many details as is possible about the relationship between McNair and Kazemi. That simply fuels the assumptions. We all should know shortly.
