Police: McNair death ruled murder-suicide
Football Betting Lines
07/08/2009 - Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nashville police held a press conference Wednesday and said the death of former NFL star Steve McNair was ruled a murder-suicide.
Nashville police chief Ronal Serpas said McNair was shot while sleeping by his 20-year-old girlfriend, Sahel Kazemi, last Saturday at a Nashville condominium. There was also information that Kazemi was having financial problems and Serpas said Kazemi was "spinning out of control."
Serpas added that through interviews with friends, Kazemi suspected McNair, who was married, was having an affair with a second woman.
"While we may never know what drove Kazemi to make that decision on Saturday morning, the totality of the evidence clearly points to murder-suicide," said Serpas.
Just a day after the deaths, police at first called it a homicide, but that clearly changed Wednesday.
"McNair was seated on the sofa and was likely asleep and we believe Kazemi shot him in the right temple then shot him twice in the chest and then shot him a final time in the left temple," said Serpas. "Kazemi then positioned herself next to McNair on the sofa and shot herself once in the right temple."
Serpas added that the five shell casings recovered matched the weapon purchased by Kazemi last Thursday. The five bullets recovered were all fired from the weapon at the scene.
"Because there's a lack of any evidence of a struggle or defensive wounds to McNair, his physical position on the sofa, the trajectory of the bullets in the wound pattern, we still believe Kazemi shot Mr. McNair and he didn't know," added Serpas.
McNair, who announced his retirement from the NFL in April 2008, last played in the NFL in 2007, when he was with the Ravens. The longtime Titans quarterback spent 13 seasons in the NFL, 11 with the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans franchise.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook
Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds. The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.
Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.
Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
