NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- To be clear, Steve McNair never used the word retirement.

But the co-MVP of the 2003 season sent a clear message that he's hurting, and this time the physical pain mixed with a losing season has the Tennessee quarterback ready to think about quitting.

"I feel like at this point in time you have to take a hard look at it," McNair said after a 31-21 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday that ended the Titans' playoff hopes and put them in the AFC South cellar.

"Back in the days, I used to play and play well when I was hurt, but at the same time it has taken a toll. I just have to look at it and evaluate myself, but I'm going to continue to work hard this season and do the best I can do to try and win five ballgames."

He should. Not because he isn't good anymore, he's still a great QB, but the Titans are going downhill. They had their run the past 6 years or so, you can only sustain it for so long. Eddie George was the horse of that team, but now that he is gone, they don't have a back who can take that many carries in a season. So McNair is the man and if he feels he can't do it, then the Titans either have to find another offense to run or he should pack it up.

Terrific football player and a good person. I still remember watching him at Alcorn State, damn near won the Heisman Trophy for a Division II school.

I think that's what they said or ESPN. 8 or 9 years... but trust me.. he's just having a bad year. He's not going to retire just yet. Not unless more is going on then we know right now. What I mean by that is something that would force his hand in retiring.

I may have my facts all mixed up on this:

I heard an interview with Jonny Unitas' son (who is now a golfer), and apparently he was an outstanding football player highly sought after by major schools. They asked him why he pursued golf. He said he asked his Dad which sport he should play, and his dad said "Do you want to be able to walk when you are 50?" "If so, choose golf".

Come to think of it, it may have been Joe Namath's son.

Anyway, the point is, Mcnair may really be feeling the pain now. Him and George were truly warriors on the field. Ray Lewis always said his favorite games were against the Titans. He is a great competitor. I just hope that he knows when to turn that off and call it quits for his own well being.

God, Johnny Unitas was terribly beaten by his days in the AFL. So very sad, and he was such a nice guy. The NFL never did anything to help him out either.

Man, I wish Kevin Dyson would have gained that extra yard in the '99 Super Bowl.

    • Microsoft Authenticator - Constant Login Approval Requests

      Do not enter the code under any circumstances, or you will be sorry. It's definitely and most likely a hacking attempt.  That happened to me a couple of years ago, and I kept receiving those prompts for months. It's simply the attacker trying to get you tired of the constant requests, so you just give up and enter the code, so they can log in to your account.

    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
