Former Tennessee Titan great Eddie George joined the show to discuss the death of his teammate Steve McNair.
Here are some of George's quotes about McNair:
"Steve was never about throwing for 400 or 500 yards. He was only concerned about winning."
"He was a total team player. And that just carried throughout the entire team. We took on his entire personality. When he played hurt, we couldn't miss a day because we were hurt."
"He was the spirit of the team and I was pretty much the voice."
"He was just one tough son of a gun."
-- George said the way McNair left us is not consistent with the way George knew him through the years.
-- George said this feels like a "bad dream" and he keeps hoping he'll wake up and the news will be different.
-- George said that he hasn't talked to McNair in about 3 1/2 months and didn't know his girlfriend.
-- George said he did talk to McNair's wife. He said she was "holding up." George's son grew up with McNair's son Tyler and their families are very close.
-- George said that Steve could get along with anyone -- the President of the United States and the average factory worker. |
