    This is one of the most stupidist comments that Bill Clinton has ever made. He does and did not know Steve McNair personally. He knows nothing of Steve except what he reads. Steve WAS NOT “having trouble dealing with the fact with that he couldn’t play football anymore.” Clinton is the one having trouble because he couldn’t continue to be the President, a State Representative, etc., etc. because his wife has taken over being the policitan of the family. Do not bring Steve McNair OR football into the world of politics. Football will always win.

    Linda — “most stupidest” — and you’re the one criticizing?? I’m not a Clinton fan, but come on . . .

    Bill is clueless on this one: he’s just trying to “feel their pain”.

    He’s on 90% of the time but off this 10%.

    What the heck is “rural philanthropy” anyway? Is that like “animal husbandry”?

    More likely he was thinking it could have happened to him.

    I don’t believe for one second that a 20 year old
    girl, crazy about McNair, telling her girl friend
    that she was hoping to marry him, who has a
    religious background in the B’hai faith that follows
    non violence in all things, AND is in the prime of
    her life, would suddenly make an about face, buy a
    gun, shoot him 4 times, and then kill herself.

    Can you imagine the horrible shock of the gun as
    she fired it for the first time ? Then to fire
    4 more times ? How did she not “limp wrist” it when
    she turned the gun on herself ? No jams.

    I believe the Nashville Detectives are not doing a
    good job.

    Here’s a hint:
    The cordite was on her left hand.
    She was right handed.

    I am still having a hard time believing that Sahel Kazemi actualy killed Steve McNair. Yes, she was having money problems, and was jealous of seeing Steve with another woman. But yet it was reported she was still dating him when she was arrested two days before the trsgic ending, and Steve had bailed her out. I really believe this whole murder suicide was set up by a professional hit man who hated to see Steve and Sahel together.

    Bill clinton should not comment on something he has knows nothing about.
    He doesnt have a clue about Steve McNair. Steve did alot of GOOD things for kids and communities !!
    Yes, I do believe she did it . The Nashville Police Dept. did an awesome job !! They took their time and
    went through every piece of evidence. Admit it … She was a fruit cake !! She was out to get whatever she could from whomever she could.

    First of all, President Clinton was just responding to a question that he was asked. He is not the first person to suggest that high profile athletes have issues with being out of the spotlight. Several people within the (Sports World) have suggested the same. I think that it is possible that Steve McNair was in a mid-life career crisis of sorts. I find it amusing that you think Bill Clinton knows nothing about Steve McNair. They were both high profile,self-made, former leaders trying to remain viable in a society that easily forgets ones accomplishments. To some, they will remain Heroes…to others they are viewed as merely Human.

    Bill was probably thinking wow glad none of my side dishes got me killed.
    I agree this was not a murder suicide and it’s insulting that Metro thinks the public is so stupid.

    1. July 7th Metro releases they haven’t ruled her death because they have no motive.

    2. July 8th The case is closed and the motive is a love sick girl gone crazy worried about paying her bills because Mcnair dumped her and was seeing another women. Yet not one public statement about Sahel that was even negative.

    3. Metro claims at 5pm on July 2 Sahel was buying a gun in the opry mills parking lot, a 9mm for $100. But yet at 5:21pm Sahel listed her furniture for sale on Craigslist. So she buys a gun to end it all and take her lover with her but rushes home in less than 20 minutes and lists her furniture for sale on craigslist and even puts her cell number on the listing for folks to call. (sure)

    4. Brent Young claims he talked to McNair downtown Friday night July 3rd at 9:30p and Sahel was driving the black esculade that McNair got out of. Brent also waved at Sahel. But yet Serpas claims she clocked out of work early at 10:07pm.

    5. Doug Crow leaves the Blue Moon at 1:30pm and Steve was not ready to go home so he stayed and had a limo drive Steve home sometime later. Serpas claims Steve was killed around 1:30-2:00am.

    6. Video survellance shows a car pull up around 1-2 and someone gets out, they assume it is McNair. It does not show Sahel arriving nor does it show Neely arriving but does show Gaddy arriving. So when did Sahel arrive and when did Neely really arrive and find the bodies?

    7. Neely claims he arrives at 1pm and walks right by the bloody scene within 2ft of the bodies and claims he doesn’t notice they had been shot just thought they were sleeping. A few minutes later he notices the crime scene and doesn’t call 911 but calls Gaddy.

    8. Gaddy arrives and then 911 is called, supposedly 35 minutes after Neely arrives, but he doesn’t know the address nor does Neely.

    9. Gaddy tells police he moved a shell casing? Now why would he move a shell casing when according to what he told the 911 operator he was freaked about going in the crime scene and was only in there a few seconds.

    10. tons more including the exboyfriend but I think this is enough to show that there are many unanswered questions but yet the case is closed!

    All my statements come from articles that are easily found with google.

    Bubba would probably know. He probably solved his post presidential crisis with women. Oh wait…he did that while he was president too…LOL

    mid life crisis?? McNair has been cheating on his wife for years! This was not his first affair or even close to it. He had a stripper on the side for 6 years in Minneapolis.
    This picture from 2007 shows the true McNair off the field. His poor wife and children he showed no respect for them at all.

    FYI The police were unable to test her right hand because it was covered with blood. If she held the gun with both hands which is very possible then she would have gotten cordite on both hands.

    As far as Gaddy not knowing the address I have several friends that I know where they live and how to get there but could not tell you their address especially if under duress.

    I find it beyond bizare that anyone actually believes that the MNPD is so inept that they would bungle the case to the extent that is alledged.
    while they may make mistakes there is very little chance they would do so poorly on the most visible case in years.

    The mistake of many of the conspiracy theorists is expecting people to act rationally at all times. Plus, I was in the Opry Mills parking lot yesterday and saw no gun dealers. There’s no way she bought a gun there.

    She may have killed him, I don’t deny that. The information that is given out as offical should be accurate and it is far from accurate.
    And yes metro would cover for McNair they already did two days earlier when his name was left off of the official DUI report. That information was made public by the exboyfriend hours after the DUI arrest of course the TN did not report it nor did not metro. Channel 4 finally reported it!

    RIGHT… AND IF SO, DO YOU KNOW WHAT PHOTOSHOP IS ?

    AND NOBODY SAID HE WAS PERFECT…THATS NOT THE ISSUE HERE. AND YEARIGHT.. DO YOU KNOW ALL THE FACTS LIKE THE POLICE… OR ARE YOU
    PLAYING CSI WITH ONLY PART OF THE EVIDENCE ?
    DO YOU REALLY THINK THE POLICE ARE GOING TO GIVE OUT EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION AND EVIDENCE TO THE PUBLIC. THEY ARE TRYING TO SHOW SOME RESPECT TO THE FAMILY. AND DADVOCATE … DO YOU WORK AT THE OPRY MILLS SECURITY OFFICE ? IF NOT, MAYBE YOU SHOULD SO YOU CAN KEEP THEM INFORMED..OF EACH AND EVERYTHING GOING ON THERE….THEY COULD GET ALL THE PEOPLE SHOOTING GUNS ( INSIDE THE MALL ) AND PURSE SNATCHERS.ETC…

    also McNair and his wife have been seperated for atleast a year. all in mcnairs circle know this and why do they feel the need to lie about it?

    guess their personal life is an issue with you. You sound as though you are in the mcnair circle,
    do yourself a favor and ask why they would lie .

    If there’s one thing Bill Clinton knows about, it’s bimbo eruptions. But the dittoheads will take a potshot at the guy at every opportunity. I didn’t see anything offensive about his comments although they were certainly speculative.

  22. yeah right writes
    July 15th, 2009 4:12 pm

    ah the choices in his personal life is why is no longer with us.
    I know why they would lied to keep Steve from looking any worse and it also makes the fairytale they are telling us fit so much better. So what else is being lied about and if this was to go to court would they lie to the courts?
    I don’t have a problem if you don’t care about truth and justice when it comes to high profile people. I will always care about truth and justice regardless of their wealth and status.
    So bury your head in the sand with the nice little fairy tale you have been feed and continue to worship McNair as a great man! (who had no respect for his wife and children)

  23. tntitan writes

    did you know him personally?? did you personally know his relationship with his wife ?
    not hiding in the sand.. just none of our business.
    drop your stones!
    do not judge if youre not ready to be judged yourself.
    once again… not our business..

    Now we know why Sahel Kazemi did not wait for Keith Norfleet to open the door for her. He had some woman in his house by the name of Katie B. I bet that when Sahel figured that he was probably making it out with someone else that morning, she figured he would not have anytime for her. When Sahel did not respond to Keith texts and phone calls after being knocking at his door, it could have been a reminder of why they broke up in the first place…….he was messing with someone else while they were together.

    It was not my intention to classify McNair as a (Saint). McNair may have cheated on his wife for years….we will never know for sure. However, his relationship with Sahel “Jenny” Kazemi was obviously more than a one-night stand. By all accounts, he spent a considerable amount of time with her. Sahel’s neighbors were quoted as saying that they thought he lived with her @ Cherry Creek. What is shocking to me, is that he did not seem to be trying to conceal the relationship. I can only speculate that Mrs. McNair may have known more than has been admitted.

    I wonder perhaps if Norfleet contacted Mtrs. McNair as he did the Tennessean within hours of the DUI arrest.
    I wonder if the Tennessean even investigated this email.

    Norfleet Sent E-mail To Media Regarding McNair And Kazemi
    “Steve McNair was involved in another dui case tonight in downtown Nashville. He was riding with someone I know that actually got the dui and he hopped out of the car real quick and got a cab home because I guess he was too drunk to drive himself and yea you would be pretty amazed at the fact of who he was actually with which I really don’t think his wife would like it too much either being the fact she was a 20 year old young girl claiming to be his girlfriend. I thought he was married? Hmmm . . . This is completely legit too. I know because I’m the person that come to pick he car up for the person that got the dui and the cop told me the whole story so I don’t know if this is interesting news or not to you guys but I thought you might like to know.”

    I wonder is Katie Benson the girl that was at Blue Moon who said her boyfriend was going to kill McNair for slipping her a roofe a year ago?
    She does match the description of the girl at Blue Moon.

    YooHoo Where is PJ Tobia?!? says:
    “I found she also posted here:
    http://www.topix.com/forum/city/nashville-tn/TV57C4OLVJA0MPE4P

    Read Katie Benson in that link. She says ” I Was With Him The Morning That Sahel AKA Jenny Came Knocking At His Door At 7 AM …. And Also The Night Of The Murders” and she posts her email address in there.

    I searched for her email address on google and you can get to this page http://comment.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewComments&friendID=420977100 that links to her myspace page here http://www.myspace.com/lilmamakab

    Then I searched for lilmamakab in google and found this page http://www.espin.com/advice/breakups/i-miss-my-jerky-ex-boyfriend where she had posted in the past.

    Scroll down and you can click on her post and get to a espin profile page here http://www.espin.com/people/lilmamakab that says she is 5′4″ blonde and has pictures.

    The girl at Blue Moon matches that description!!! Nice detective work huh?

    I wonder why Mechelle would question Steve’s older boys paternity?
    I wonder why Steve had no will and why his lawyer would not ensure that basic legal document is taken care of.

    In her emergency petition, Mechelle McNair listed herself and two sons, Tyler and Trenton, as heirs, according to documents prepared by Adams and Reese attorney David J. Callahan III.

    Steve McNair has two other sons from a previous relationship who were included in the petition only when it noted that “the petitioner [Mechelle McNair] lacks sufficient information at this time to confirm that they are heirs of the decedent.”
