Steve McNair threatened by woman hours before his murder. According to several NashvillePost.com sources, it is at Blue Moon Lagoon where Steve McNair’s evening took an ominous turn. While sitting with friends at the restaurant (sources say that Kazemi was not in the party), a white woman in her early 20s, about 5-foot-4, approached McNair and accused him of slipping her a “roofie” a year ago. The woman then told McNair, according to sources, that her boyfriend was going to kill him. Roofie is a slang term for Rohypnol, a sedative dating back to the early 1970s that is used in hospitals for deep sedation, but is now a fairly infamous date-rape drug. After confronting McNair, sources say that the woman was asked to leave the restaurant. As of now, there is no known connection between the blonde woman’s warning and the events that unfolded just a few hours later. It could well be an eerie coincidence. Still, Metro Police are interviewing patrons and staff members at Blue Moon Lagoon. — Nashville Post
Tony Romo: this has been best offseason to date. From the ashes of last season’s disastrous Cowboys December, a strong foundation is being built. “It’s been very football heavy this offseason,” Tony Romo said. “We had a lot of OTA’s (Organized Team Activities) and a lot of minicamps, the most since I’ve been here. The guys have worked their butts off and we’ve tried to put ourselves in position to be successful by doing everything we can this offseason. “Since I’ve been playing in the NFL, this has been the best offseason to date and that excites you as a quarterback. In that regard, it’s been real enjoyable.” — Racine Journal Times
Brett Favre’s surgeon: ‘He wants to play for the Minnesota Vikings’. Brett Favre “wants to play and he wants to play for the Minnesota Vikings,” according to his orthopedic surgeon. Favre, who’ll be 40 in October, also “wants to end his career on a high note,” Dr. James Andrews told Rick Cleveland, a columnist for the Jackson (Miss.) Clarion-Ledger. Andrews, 67, was in Jackson last week to speak to colleagues at Mississippi Sports Medicine. He’s based in Birmingham, Ala. Though most of Andrews’ interview with Cleveland was about youth sports injuries, he briefly discussed Favre: “I’m not supposed to say anything but Brett kind of let that cat out of the bag on that HBO show,” Andrews said. “I did his shoulder (arthroscopic) a few weeks ago. I visited him in Hattiesburg two weeks ago. He wants to play and he wants to play for the Minnesota Vikings. He wants to end his career on a high note and I hope he can. He’s a tough guy, a great guy. I’m pulling for him. He wants to play. He just wants to make sure his shoulder and arm are healthy enough.” — Green Bay Press-Gazette
