I figure he told her it was over and he was not getting a divorce and she went off.

Or just that he wasn't getting divorced. She would always be the mistress/girlfriend.

John you really should not assume anything.

Actually I find it hard to believe that the "empowermenter" of women, being a black female, had no idea who Mr. McNair was(where has she been under a rock?). Anyhi, Ms. playwrite, who claims she did't know about his being married, unwittingly has the blood of Mr. McNair on her hands for not telling this mistress to get out of that relationship. If this is the way women are "empowered" by you then maybe you should have been a mortician!!!

Are you nuts, Josephine? This woman didn't know McNair was married, and probably didn't think she should be dispensing advice to a stranger. She doesn't have anyone's "blood on her hands." She had a chance meeting with a disturbed young girl.

And if Buckner isn't a football fan, she wouldn't have any knowledge of McNair's life and wouldn't recognize his name. Nobody is responsible for this murder/suicide except the person who did it--Sahel Kazemi.

and he was telling her that he was getting a divorce in 2weeks and the court says no papers were filed ..so yea she got mad when she found out that he was not getting a divorce and no papers were filed..open and shut case. Sounds like nashville police need to talk to these people here and these girls here can tell them they were having problems

Josephine, your post is a disgrace!

Get a life Johnny Boy!!!

I haven't been under a rock and I didn't know who McNair was. But now I do. The entire world knows he was a lying, cheating scumbag. And he was messing with dynamite. Ms Playwrite met a stranger in a public place. Period. No blood on her hands. Sypathies to his family.

Nothing good ever comes of a relationship built on mistrust, infidelity and lies....these scenarios are carried out all over the country every day...just this time it was a well-known person. Haven't followed this case at all but the overview sounds like they started dating, he was "supposed" to get divorced soon....didn't happen, young girl fell in love with him and it blinded her to the fact he was using her....then she got mad and took care of it the only way she knew how at the time. It's sad but the lesson here is for everyone, be very careful in romantic relationships, they can cause people to do things they never dreamed of doing.

First of all let me just address Ms. Bonnie. Your whole premise is based on the fact that "if" she didn't know. Have you taken the time to think that she could have in fact known who the fella was but instead you take offence to my premise being she did know. What would be your position if Ms. playwrite did know?

Secondly I'd like to address Johnny boy. You stated my post was a disgrace. It is quite amazing how you can assert your opinion and leave no room for doubt but I am not entitled to my own opinion. Have you ever thought that some third party could have staged the whole tragic event!

Thirdly to address Joe J. How can you without anymore evidence than I have say that she didn't know who Mr. McNair was. I bet she probably watched that Super Bowl he played against the Rams. Anyhi, people, it was my understanding that the comments were to be about the article and not comments on the comments! You people are trying to start some kind of feud because I have my opinion. You don't see me climbing the walls about your narrow-minded comments. Please stop this Hatfield vs McCoys mentality!!!

Why in the name of all that is good are you "women" arguing over this.

This is something that happens all the time. Men cheat on their wives everyday and vice versa. It's just a big deal because he was a famous person. Also, just because she didn't know who Steve McNair doesn't mean she lived under a rock. If you're not a football fan or even familiar, you wouldn't know who he was. I know Mrs. Buckner, and she is a very nice person. She doesn't have anyone's blood on her hands. She could have talked until she was blue in the face. If the young woman had her mind made up, then there wasn't anything Mrs. Buckner or anyone else could have said to dissuade her. There hasn't been a ruling on what happened, and until that comes out, no one should make any judgments because we weren't there.

Okay W A,

Once again, let me restate my position. I feel very, very strongly that the "empowermenter" had full knowledge of who Mr. McNair was.

I think it is a shame when someone will be so opportunistic as take someone's tragedy for their own personal glory and to advertise their plays. Oh, by the way, I also know Ms. Mosley.

Josephine, I truly hope that you are not as ignorant as you sound. Even if this woman knew who McNair was, how was she to know that this young lady was going to kill him? That is, if she did kill him. It hasn't even been proven that that was what happened. By the way, I had never even heard of this guy and I have watched the Super Bowl for the last 5 years. I couldn't tell you any of the players, on any team, in any of the years I watched. Heck, I couldn't even tell you the teams that played! The article states that the young girl discussed that she and her boyfriend were having problems. It does not say that she told Buckner he was supposed to leave his wife, if that is the truth. It plainly states that Buckner didn't realize he was married. I guess you are calling Buckner a liar.

You are making a ton of assumptions about this woman. You claim to know Ms. Mosley. Do you mean Ms. Buckner? If so, I sure hope that she does not consider you a friend, for you seem like one hateful, spiteful, ignorant person to me.

Oh, and by the way, seems like this young lady could possibly have benefitted from seeing Ms. Buckner's play.

Great article. Decatur Daily did a good job of finding out inside information that sheds light on the event. I would think this article has a chance to be picked up and circulated nationally. Kudos on the scoop!

If you, Ms. R, did'nt have your head so far up your fanny then you would realize that I could possibly know that Ms. "Buckner's" maiden name is Mosley and that is how I know her (before she was married-thank you!). I am afraid that by calling me ignorant multiple times still will not bring my IQ down to that of a rock like yours. In addition, you just can't go around calling people names without any repercussions. Please conduct yourself accordingly!

update update shocking news guys Corner in nashville says its a murder suicide...duh

Whether she knew or didn't know who McNair was is irrelevant to this story. The blame for this situation falls squarely into the lap of the parties involved. McNair was 36 years old and should not have misled this 19 (at the time) year old girl who was unstable. Unfortunately, he and his family which includes 4 young boys have paid the ultimate price for his bad choice. I appreciate Vera Moseley Buckner coming forward with this story. It provides insight into the relationship that has not yet been reported in the mainstream media. I will take her message to heart. What I got from the story is that sometimes we need to slow down and listen when situations present themselves and not be too busy to console or encourage others.

Josephine life is too short to be malicious and judge the motives of others. Be open minded. I too find your comments to be in ill taste and mean spirited. Kudos to Ms. Buckner for sharing how this situation has impacted her.

Josephine

You are proving everyones statesment about yourself everytime you open(post) your mouth. I geuss you would say that the sun is not shining right now and tell us who's fault that is. You say that blood is this ladies hands? Well blood is on yours I guarantee you voted for Obama.

Wake up Josephine - you're in the minority here. Why would you want to try and make Ms. Buckner feel worse about the situation than she already does? I'm thankful the majority of the people posting comments have seen you for what you apparently are - mean-spirited and ignorant!

Josephine, since you claim your IQ is higher than a rock, unlike mine supposedly. Let me pose it to you this way; you claim Ms. Buckner/Mosley "unwittingly" has blood on her hands. The definition of unwittingly is not knowing. Do you really think that if Ms. Buckner told this young girl to get out of the relationship that she would listen? How many times have you ever listened to a stranger's advice when it came to relationships? I doubt this young troubled girl would have paid any attention. I still stand behind my statement that you sound like a hateful, spiteful person. I imagine that Ms. Buckner feels terrible enough without you pointing it out to her. Apparently people pointing it out to you, that you sound ignorant has hit home. Ms. Buckner is so fortunate to have "friends" like you to point out all of her flaws!!!

Ms. Buckner, I doubt anything you could have said would have changed the outcome of this horrible situation. I am glad to here that you are going to restage your play and hopefully some young women can learn something that may prevent future tragedies such as this one. God can be glorified in all situations, and your play can be an example of His glory. God bless you as you bring glory to Him.
