Titans To Wear "9" Helmet Decal

[BmoreRav]

[quote]The Tennessee Titans will honor slain former quarterback Steve McNair by wearing a No. 9 decal on their helmets this season, starting with this weekend's Hall of Fame Game against the Buffalo Bills.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Thursday that the league found it appropriate to approve the team's 1 1/4-inch decal in memory of McNair, who was killed July 4. McNair played 11 seasons with the Titans and led the team to its only Super Bowl appearance.

McCarthy said Titans coaches and sideline personnel also will have the option to wear a No. 9 lapel pin.

The Titans had been discussing ways to remember and honor McNair, the winningest quarterback in the franchise's history at 81-59. Only Hall of Famer Warren Moon threw for more yards for the team than McNair.[/quote]

Classy move by the Titans and one I was hoping they would do!

Cue the "Awwww"s.

Didn't McNair win 91 games?

Nice rememberance by the Titans. I'm glad the league approved it.

I don't know that the Ravens would be approved for something like this [I don't know the governing rules], but I expect them to have a moment of silence or some kind of dedication or something like that during the first home game.

He played for the Ravens for two seasons, a total of 22 games he was a Titan for 11 years and brought them to a Superbowl. He'll get a moment of silence probably with us, there is no need to wear his decal for the entire season. Maybe the first game, but the rest is overdoing it.
