Ravens' McNair retires after 13 seasons

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) ??” Baltimore Ravens quarterback Steve McNair is retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons.

 

McNair told teammates of his decision during an emotional meeting Thursday morning before the launch of coach John Harbaugh's first minicamp.

 

The 35-year-old McNair led the Ravens to a 13-3 record in 2006, his first season in Baltimore after 11 years in Tennessee. But groin, back and shoulder injuries limited him to six games in 2007. He threw just two touchdown passes while losing seven fumbles and throwing four interceptions as the Ravens struggled to a 5-11 record.

 

McNair led Tennessee to the Super Bowl in 1999, where the Titans lost to the St. Louis Rams. He was named co-MVP of the league in 2003, sharing the award with Peyton Manning.

He may have played 13 years in the NFL, but his body must feel like it was in dog years.

 

He provided a lot of thrills for the fans, and was the face of the franchise from the first days he came to Tennessee.

One of the toughest players in the NFL, he and Favre defined what tough meant for the QB fraternity. Before injuries eroded his talent, he was about as dangerous a QB on the field as you could get. Not the most artistic or blessed with the greatest arm- he just played ball.

 

It was a sad final chapter when he went to the hated Billick Ravens, but Father Time has now called him to join his team. I hope the Titans do something this season, and retire his number.

 

From tiny Alcorn State to possible HOF consideration, it was a good career for Air McNair.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By BarneySox2007 · Posted

      If that Yellow Paint is all gone I'll flat bet it didn't wash off there. I bet that took some scrubbing to remove that if it is gone. Lacrosse is one of those northern sports all these misplaced Yankee's that are posion to the community brought in by  (Blount Partnership, ( The Devil) with them so somebody allowed them to paint their markings on the field that cost more than the twenty top people on payroll at Maryville make a year. All this to please the 1% Club and the 25 people that would come to see it. All in the name of WOKE!!!!!!

      Dyersburg is going to be good, really good. As mentioned, they have a lot of talent on the way and the trio of Chelby, Joya, and KayKay will only be better with a full season together under their belt. To me, playing in Murfreesboro two consecutive postseasons will only serve to make them more dangerous if/when they stand among the final eight teams this March. Experience, good or bad, always makes you better. And not only do they have experience, they know how to win there. Schedules are coming together for all of the teams and I am excited about what I am seeing on the preliminary drafts on Dyersburg’s schedule. I know I am being a tease, but it’s simply not my place to announce what another school is doing. With that said, I won’t go into specifics. However, I am excited about renewed home and away contracts for the non-district portion of the calendar. I think west Tennessee will have a lot of interest as well.

      They struggled to field a team last year. I don’t see them being much better?
