Sister: McNair Stood Up Kazemi In Vegas
Posted on at 9:08 amFrom Liveseetz.com:
As days pass, details of the murder/suicide of the former Tennessee Titan quarterback, Steve McNair, and his mistress Sahel Kazemi, continue to surface. The latest speculation is, McNair seemed to have wanted to pull away from the affair.
Just two weeks ago, Kazemi and McNair planned a trip to Las Vegas. Kazemi, 20, flew from Tennessee to Nevada to meet McNair, but he never arrived, reports Florida Times Union.
Norfleet Dimed McNair’s Presence At DUI Stop To The Media
Posted on at 8:27 amIt was Norfleet who picked up Kazemi’s Escalade after she was arrested on drunken driving charges on Thursday while McNair was in the passenger seat.
In an e-mail obtained by the Channel 4 I-Team, Norfleet tipped off a newspaper about McNair’s connection to the driving under the influence charge, with the subject line, “Pretty interesting news about our golden boy McNair.”
He goes on to write, “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.”
The Voice Of Jenny Kazemi
Posted on at 7:28 amListen to the woman who died with Steve McNair call for help after ex-boyfriend Keith Norfleet throws a phone at her:
Kazemi Dated Norfleet And McNair Simultaneously
Posted on at 7:00 amSo says Norfleet’s mother:
Norfleet and Kazemi met in Jacksonville, Fla., when he was 20 and she was 16. Their dating spanned four rocky years, punctuated by arguments and periodic breakups. Although Norfleet knew Kazemi and McNair had been dating for several months, he and Kazemi kept seeing each other, Trudy Norfleet said.
“She’s been dating both of them,” Norfleet told The Baltimore Sun. Speaking of her stepson, she said: “He’s totally in love with that girl. I guess he would have done anything to spend time with her. Every time they broke up he was devastated.”
Keith Norfleet, who could not be reached for comment, has said in published reports that Kazemi had intended to end her relationship with McNair. Relatives of Kazemi, however, have told news outlets that she believed McNair planned to divorce his wife, Mechelle, though no divorce filings had been made.

Kazemi Ex Keith Norfleet Raps About Murder
Posted on July 7, 2009 at 3:19 pmNorfleet is not a suspect in the homicide of Steve McNair but some of his amateur hip hop stylings about an “old man collapsing” sure do make you think:
I don’t wanna be like this
I don’t really wanna hurt no feelings
But I’m only being real when I say
Nobody wanna see an old man collapse
And old men have heart attacks
I don’t wanna be responsible for that
So let the s**t go and walk away
You can still have a little bit of dignity”[snip]
Try to stunt and front and fronting in front of somebody else
Til you’re surrounded by 20 people With nobody’s help
IF you try to go incredible hulk it won’t work
Put so many holes in you your nerves won’t even jerk
Lurking in the shadows thinking and scheming of work
Got a little cocky so you decided to flirt
Now you’re flirting with death”[snip]
“If you ever do it again b***h I’m not rapping
I’m getting a clip and clapping and I’m not laughing
They’re wrapping you up for your little trip to the morgue
While I’m preparing for my trip to the shore,
Don’t ignore me, I’m not lying, I couldn’t be more honest
If you ever do it again, you’ll die, I promise.”
Hear the whole song, “Closed Casket,” here.
The Steve McNair Jenny Kazemi Knew
Posted on July 6, 2009 at 10:02 pmJeff Fisher, Eddie George and others are all over the media talking about the death of Steve McNair. The tear-filled press conferences, the hour-long tributes featuring slow motion highlights, the reminders of his charity work — it’s all very moving.
It truly is. Steve McNair was a great athlete and he helped create and nurture a pro football tradition in Nashville. For that he should be recognized and commended.
But let’s not get carried away with the hero worship here.
This is a man who carried out an extramartial affair with a nineteen year-old girl. He bought her a car and secured himself a second residence where he could carry out his separate existence from his wife and his children.
Some will say we should not judge McNair by his private misdeeds. Everyone makes mistakes after all. No one is perfect.
That’s right, no one is perfect — least of all me. But did Steve McNair even try?
If bullets were never fired at that Rutledge Hill condo, I suppose we could go on believing the image that McNair and the Titans and others had constructed around him.
But those bullets were fired and they opened up McNair’s dirty little secrets to the world and his lifestyle has become public domain. It would be better if it hadn’t happened that way. It would have been better if we could have remembered him only as the family man, the football hero, and the man of charity.
Unfortunately, we can’t do that. We know things now that we cannot unknow. And, frankly, it is a little disconcerting to watch as some folks attempt to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
Even if he weren’t married, McNair’s relationship with Kazemi was more than a bit shady. Yes, Jenny Kazemi was of legal age and, as far as we know, consenting. But if Steve McNair was the “great man” everyone is now eulogizing, what was he doing shacking up with a 19 year old high school dropout?
Let’s get real. Kazemi’s background screams vulnerability and emotional immaturity. No, McNair did nothing legally wrong by bedding this woman, other than violating the terms of his marriage contract, but, my God, were these the actions of an upstanding member of the community?
For McNair to shower this young woman, essentially a child, with gifts, affection and attention, all the while allowing her to operate under the delusion, according to reports, that he would marry her, is the height of emotional cruelty.
Steve McNair is a 36 year-old father of four. He is a former professional football player and respected member of the community. Obviously, no one can truly know the actual relationship between two people but I think we can make some reasonable assumptions about the interpersonal dynamics at work here.
This, for the “Steve McNair that Jeff Fisher knew“, was not a proper relationship to be pursuing.
Jenny Kazemi is responsible for her actions, whatever they were. No one is saying she isn’t. But I find it hard to reconcile these glowing public tributes for a man who lived at least part of his life as though he were a character on the Sopranos.
Let’s not kid ourselves. Charity work cannot paper over what this was. This was a man using his power, position and money to get over on at least one vulnerable young woman.
I cannot reconcile in my mind the tributes of him with the knowledge of the lifestyle he led. I’m not saying the man should be trashed but if we give this man the honor and the glory due a “great man” do we not end up condoning the behavior he engaged in?
After all, we live in a free country where anyone is allowed to pursue the most happiness they can without hurting anyone. That is how it should be. No one should tell anyone how to live.
We were required to allow Steve McNair to live the life he wanted. However, we were not required to accept him as “great man” for doing so. A certain amount of social stigma is what keeps free societies from devolving into amoral anarchy.
Let’s also keep in mind that just as Kazemi was at a disadvantage with McNair in life, she is also at a disadvantage in death.
She did not have a career of note. She did not build a brand that people relied on for their financial security. She was not beloved by many. In fact she is referred to in media reports by her given name Sahel, a name her friends did not call her.
We are asked to forget McNair’s transgressions and remember him in happier times on the field in his glory days. But we only know Kazemi at her worst, most tragic moment.
No one is saying that McNair’s name should be driven through the mud or his accomplishments tainted and discarded. No one is saying he deserved what he got. Nothing like that should be taken from this.
But the circumstances are the circumstances. He lived how he lived and he died how he died.
I can’t forget that, I don’t care how much film you roll from the good ole days.

Third Person In Car During Kazemi DUI Stop

McNair Questions
Posted on at 5:15 pmDonald Sensing has a few:
The scenario that nags me most is number 2. A (presumably) jilted girlfriend double taps her lover in the head and then also in the chest? That’s literally overkill and strikes me as something not even an infuriated just-jilted lover would do, especially having limited firearms experience and being only 20 - Kazemi would hardly think her life was tanked just because McNair was dropping her, if in fact that’s what he had just done.
In fact, all of the scenarios have their own nag. For Kazemi to have done any of them seems in my mind to require her to have been in an uncontrollable rage or have been a natural-born killer, neither of which accord with the descriptions of her given to media by family, friends or co-workers. (Then again, “who knows what shadows lurk . . . ?”)
Kazemi Weapon Purchase Person To Person
Posted on at 5:04 pmMay or may not have been legal:
Sahel Kazemi purchased the gun detectives believe was used on the murder of Steve McNair on Thursday evening, according to Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron.
The gun was purchased from a private seller, according to Aaron. In Tennessee, a person must be 21-years old to purchase a handgun, and Kazemi was 20. Aaron did not say the purchase was illegal, although detectives still had questions regarding the transaction.
Kazemi and McNair were found shot to death on Saturday. Police have ruled McNair’s death a homicide, but have not made a determination yet on Kazemi.

Blaming The Cops
Posted on at 3:18 pmFranklin Kool-Aid thinks if Steve McNair has been booked when Kazemi was arrested for DUI maybe some of this could have been prevented:
I contend that if the Metro Police had arrested McNair along with Kazemi the 2 days before they were murdered - like those jackasses should have - the publicity might have forced McNair to separate himiself from Kazemi and perhaps travel out of town or to a friend’s house - maybe even his own family’s house - until everything settled, at least for a little while.
