NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair, who led the famous Tennessee Titans' drive that came a yard short of forcing overtime in the 2000 Super Bowl, was found dead Saturday with multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the head. Police said a pistol was discovered near the body of a woman also shot dead in a downtown condominium.
Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron identified the woman as Sahel Kazemi, whom he called a "friend" of McNair's. She had a single gunshot wound to the head.
Police said the 36-year-old McNair was found on the sofa in the living room, and Kazemi was very close to him on the floor. Aaron said the gun was not "readily apparent" when police first arrived.
Autopsies were planned for Sunday.
You were a great player McNair.

Interview with Prince Miller
Making 10 starts last year as a junior, Prince Miller is looking to leave his mark on the UGA football program. Coming in at sixth in the Southeastern Conference for total defense last year, Miller feels that they have something to prove. This is the second installment of a series of “Catching up” with current Bulldogs.
Q: What have been some areas in your game that you have been working to improve this summer?
Miller: We’ve all been working really hard this offseason. It has been the toughest summer since I have been here. Everyone is focused and has the same goals and we are working hard to attain those goals.
Q: Is any certain teammate stepping up in a leadership role? Or is it more of a team-wide responsibility?
Miller: Obviously Joe Cox is our leader, but on the offensive side you also have Shaun Chapas who has really stepped up. Then on defense, you have Rennie Curran and Akeem Dent that have stepped up into leadership roles.
Q: Yourself and Bryan Evans are the only returning seniors in the defensive secondary. What are you seeing out of the second-year guys (Brandon Boykin, Sanders Commings, Bacarri Rambo, Makiri Pugh etc.)?
Miller: Well, Reshad (Jones) has been here for a while; he might as well be a senior. But those younger guys are coming along really well and doing a good job. We expect those guys to play and do a good job for us.
Q: What are your impressions of Branden Smith and Jordan Love?
Miller: Both are very skilled but just need some work and to get fully into the system. Branden and Jordan are both great athletes and are doing a great job right now.
Q: Last summer there was the pressure of being ranked preseason No. 1. This year’s team comes in slightly lower ranked. What kind of difference does it make not having that added pressure?
Miller: Having the sense of being the underdog is pushing guys to work that much harder. People are saying that we are flying under the radar; we want to take that and run with it. It just makes us want to push each other that much harder.
Q: So do you think the underdog role is the main reason everyone is working harder?
Miller: That is a reason, but I think guys are starting to realize that a 10-win season isn’t good enough anymore. We all want to win SEC and national championships.
Q: How has going up against a top-notch wide receiver like A.J. Green in practice helped you?
Miller: It brings the best out of you every time you step on the field. You have to be prepared and if you’re not, he is going to make you look like a fool. It definitely helps your confidence when you know you go up against one of the best in the country everyday.
Q: What are your thoughts on traveling to Stillwater, Okla., to play a preseason
top-10 Oklahoma State team in the season opener?
Miller: We will definitely be prepared for a dogfight. Obviously they are a good team and will be ranked pretty high. They have at least three great players on the offensive side of the ball. We will be prepared and will give it our best shot.
Q: What do you feel will be some of the strong points on this team?
Miller: That’s exactly it; it’s a team. We don’t have that star factor this year. We know it is going to take a full team effort every game to go out there and get the job done.
Q: Returning everyone from last year’s defense, and getting Jeff Owens back from injury, Georgia has a lot of experience. What can everyone expect from the defense this year?
Miller: The defense is getting back to that Georgia style of defense, especially with getting Jeff (Owens) back. Having guys like Jeff, Geno Atkins and Kade Weston up the middle is great for us, especially our defensive ends. Getting everyone back is huge, we need to focus on getting pressure on the quarterback.
Q: Many fans are wondering about the defensive end situation. What are you seeing out of the guys at that position?
Miller: There is a lot of potential. They have gotten more experience and are healthier now than they have been in a while.
Q: Being one of the punt returners last season, you provided the team and fans with excitement, knowing that you could take it all the way at any moment. What do you think makes one a successful punt returner?
Miller: Well, Coach Jon Fabris always says you got to have ice water in your veins. You take the risk of taking one the distance or getting your head taken off because you were so risky and just wanted to make a play.
Q: Is there anything in closing that you would like to say to the Bulldog Nation?
Miller: We were obviously disappointed with the way the season went last year. We are working hard to correct those things and we are looking forward to a great season.

GATORS to Spend $5.5 million on new Scoreboards
Soon, watching Tim Tebow barrel through defenders will be crystal clear.
After two years of discussion, the University Athletic Association has finally jumped on board with some of the elite football programs around the country by installing new video boards at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium that will feature high-definition-like quality.
Florida Associate Athletics Director of External Affairs Mike Hill said the two new Daktronics HD-16 scoreboards will technically not be HD because the screens will be too small to support the correct resolution, but assures the picture will be similar.
"Anybody who sees the boards will be convinced that it's HD because the resolution is absolutely spectacular," Hill said.
"Fans will notice that right off the bat when they attend their first game. It was tested here and I think everyone who saw it was absolutely blown away by the quality of the boards."
Hill said the idea to replace The Swamp's scoreboards was originally discussed after the South End Zone scoreboard started to falter after 11 years.
Hill, who spearheaded the project, traveled around the country to test and view some of the most high-tech and up-to-date scoreboards. Hill said he came away most impressed with Oklahoma and Auburn's video boards and made the decision to go with the HD-16 model. The SEC Rocks!
Shake-up at Auburn
The dismissal of three defensive players has led to a secondary shakeup at Auburn.
That meant a return move from receiver to cornerback,for Harry Adams.
“I knew it was going to happen, what the situation was,” the sophomore said. “If they needed me over there, I’m going to go over there and help the team – no if’s, and’s or but’s about it.”
Adams admitted that he preferred offense to defense. Once Aairon Savage sustained an Achilles injury that will likely keep him sidelined all season, Adams said he knew the move was coming.
The move became more imminent once safety Christian Thompson was kicked off the team last week. As a result, cornerback T’Sharvan Bell moved to safety.
At that point, defensive coordinator Ted Roof called Adams in for a meeting. The SEC Rocks!

Michael Bowman has been approved by the NCAA
BamaOnline.com is reporting today that Alabama wide receiver signee Michael Bowman has academically qualified and been approved by the NCAA Clearinghouse in time to enroll for second summer session classes at UA.
Bowman will reportedly join Gadsden cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick as a late summer enrollee. Kirkpatrick, like Bowman, was held up by late academic hurdles.
That leaves Louisiana signees Eddie Lacy (running back) and Darrington Sentimore (defensive lineman) as the Crimson Tide's known remaining academic question marks. Clay-Chalkville lineman Quinton
Dial has already said he will attend junior college in the fall. The SEC Rocks!

VANDY signee arrested!
According to the St. Petersburg Times, a member of the Commodores 2009 recruiting class: Justin Cabbagestalk (really) is facing a pair of charges following an incident Tuesday night.
Cabbagestalk (really) was arrested and charged with felony count of burglary of an unoccupied dwelling and a misdemeanor charge of criminal mischief after he and three juveniles allegedly broke into the residence earlier this week.
Witnesses saw the individuals leaving through the front door and notified police, and the foursome were ultimately arrested. A Sheriff's spokesperson told The Times that it didn't appear as if anything was missing from the residence.
"Vanderbilt) coach Bobby Johnson and the staff have been notified of the case and will withhold official comment until more facts are known", Vanderbilt spokesman Larry Leathers said according to the paper. That's dirt! The SEC Rocks!

Justin Sorensen and Jonathan Williams in the CFL
Former University of South Carolina Gamecock football players Justin Sorensen and Jonathan Williams have made the 46-man Opening Day roster of the BC Lions in the Canadian Football League.
Sorensen, who was born in Parkville, British Columbia, was the fifth pick in the first round of the 2008 CFL Draft. The 6-7, 316-pound offensive tackle returned to Carolina for his senior season and started all 13 games for the Gamecocks. He started each of the last 31 games in the Garnet and Black at right tackle.
Williams was signed by the Lions this spring as a free agent. The 6-2, 290 pound defensive tackle played in all 25 games over two seasons at South Carolina after transferring from Mississippi Delta CC. The Augusta, Ga. native was in on 20 tackles and added two tackles for a loss as well as two sacks for the Gamecocks.
The Lions, who finished the 2008 season with an 11-7 record, open the 2009 season on Friday, July 3 when they travel to Saskatchewan to take on the Roughriders.

SEC Limits Scholarships to 28
A rule was proposed at the SEC meetings limiting the amount of athletes you can sign to a letter-of-intent. This was a reaction to the practice of some schools over signing players,as with Ole Miss and coach Houston Nutt, who signed 37 players for 25 spots last signing day.
The rule has been finalized, and the SEC will now only allow teams to sign 28 athletes to letters-of-intent. Athletic Directors and coaches were pushing for the cap to be 30, giving them a bit more padding for academic casualties, but university brass pushed the number down to 28.
The SEC will sponsor similar legislation to make 28 scholarships the limit throughout Division I-A football.
This will transform the SEC, and if anything, will transform the national championship won in recruiting by some teams that sign players knowing that there's no chance of the recruit ever walking on campus. The SEC Rocks!

Arkansas Linebacker Gone!
Well here is the dirt from the SEC; for the 2nd time in less than 2 months and possibly for the last time. Arkansas linebacker Khiry Battle has been arrested.
According to the (NW Arkansas Morning News), Battle was arrested early Sunday morning(6/28/09)and charged with driving under the influence, violating the city’s noise ordinance and refusing to submit to submit to a breathalyzer test!(how is that one!)
Battle was pulled after police heard loud music coming from his vehicle. An odor of alcohol was detected after an officer approached the vehicle, leading to Battle’s arrest on multiple charges.
He was released from jail yesterday morning after posting an $830 bond.
The school has yet to comment on Battle’s latest skirmish with the law.
Early last month, Battle was involved in an on-campus argument with another student. After police responded to the disturbance and did a background check on the two involved, it was discovered that Battle had a warrant out for his arrest after failing to appear in court for a careless driving ticket.
He was subsequently arrested for failure to appear.The SEC Rocks

Auburn Tigers lose 3 more players!
Three players from the defensive side of the ball are off the Auburn football team. (more to come?) There is no word on whether they were kicked off the team or left on their own accord, as head coach Gene Chizik was on vacation and unavailable for comment.
Safety Christian Thompson, defensive tackle Jomarcus Savage and linebacker Marcus Jemison were all members of the 2008 recruiting class and were potential backups on the depth chart. This is the 2nd roster purge during Gene Chizik era at Auburn, as 4 players left the team back in January.
Of the 3 players leaving, Thompson was the first in line for playing time, as he was in the mix for a nickel back spot behind starting safeties Mike McNeil and Zac Etheridge.Both Savage and Jemison missed last seasons with injuries. The SEC Rocks!

LSU Retires Jerseys
BATON ROUGE -- The jerseys of LSU legends Tommy Casanova, Ben McDonald and Rudy Macklin have been retired, LSU director of athletics Joe Alleva announced Saturday.
The three LSU sports legends join an elite group of former athletes and coaches whose jerseys have been retired in the 116-year history of LSU Athletics. Only five other individuals in LSU history have had their jerseys retired, including Pete Maravich, Bob Pettit and Shaquille O’Neal in basketball, Billy Cannon in football and Skip Bertman in baseball.
The jerseys of Casanova, McDonald and Macklin were retired as a result of a unanimous vote of the LSU Athletic Hall of Fame Selection Committee on Friday. They will each be honored at future LSU sporting events on dates to be announced.

The Baltimore Ravens,Ozzie Newsome,the TIDES',new Athletic Director?
The speculation linking former Alabama great and current Baltimore Ravens executive Ozzie Newsome to the Tide’s Athletic Director’s job has been ongoing for several years.
That speculation has been ratcheted up a notch or two of late as the current Athletic Director Mal Moore has come under fire for the NCAA Sanctions levied against the school in the textbook scandal.
While Newsome refuses to do anything but praise the job Moore has done: “Look at what he’s done and how well rounded this program is. The facilities that we have, the seating at the stadium, what else can you ask for?” he has also refused to close the door on what many anticipate would be a triumphant return to Tuscaloosa at some point in the future.
And all that’s been done is add fuel to the speculative fire.
It was much the same Saturday 6/27/09 as Newsome returned to his collegiate roots for his annual golf outing. Speaking to the Tuscaloosa News, the legendary Crimson Tide tight end once again left the door open for a return home, a return that may or may not include the Athletic Director's job.
“I always allow the information to help me make a decision,” Newsome said when asked about taking the possible position. “There is a lot of information that I would need to get before I could even entertain something like that
