Mike: I appreciate your readership of “Ludwig At Large,” but please don’t bring race into this. Plenty of Caucasian males die violent deaths, too. It’s a tragedy and let’s leave it at that. Steve McNair was a great quarterback who deserves consideration for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.By TouchDown Troy

I agree Chick Steve was a great QB and almost led Tenn to a win over the Rams in 99. I was shocked when i heard the news lastnight. To Mike this was not about color or race. You should be ashamed.By Brian
