Tennessee remembers Steve McNair
Thousands of fans came to honor Steve McNair at his memorial services in Tennessee.  Steve McNair fans lined up by the thousands inside Mount Zion Baptist Church in Nashville on Thursday, June 9th.

At the memorial service in Tennessee,
Bishop Joseph W. Walker III used the biblical example, those without sin to cast the first stone.

 

Bisop Walker said  "Drop your stone the next time you write about Steve McNair. Drop your stone the next time you text somebody. Drop your stone the next time you twitter. Drop your stone those of you in the barbershops, the beauty shops. Those of you walking the streets on the corner, drop your stone,"
