One Yard Short

This is the image of Steve McNair that I'll remember.
Being from the L.A. area - I was never a fan of the Rams.
So when the chance came for a brotha' to beat the Rams on the county's biggest stage - I was thrilled.
It was a great game with remarkable play by all involved. (Yeah... Kurt Warner did get off.)
What I'll remember about McNair is the heart shown on the final drive.
Like Ali/Frazier or Julie Moss in the Ironman Triathlon - winning wasn't as impressive as the effort shown by the loser.

Just as I didn't care about Former President Clinton getting his cigar smoked - I don't care about McNair's affair going the Obsessed route either.
That was business for Steve and wife to deal with.

That girl at the hotel, Trina and former Laker Girl Vanessa Curry (above) - Who cared (besides Bryant's family) as long as Kobe could hit the "J"?
Would any of these incidents matter if the girl looked like Kim Kardasian?
(C'mon... you know Monica Lewinsky was a bit of a chunk-a-chunk-chunk, and the woman involved with McNair was only about average looking (definitely NOT worth being killed over).)
Or, are extramarital affairs just one of the "secret" perks of success in our society?
