Steve McNair And 4 Other Tales Of Scorned Love

A gun-toting mistress and knife-wielding wife are enough to make us want to stay single forever.

We had just finished our second helping of July 4th coleslaw when we learned that Steve McNair, the 36-year-old former Tennessee Titans quarterback, was found dead in his Nashville home. Ruled right away as a homicide, McNair was killed by four bullet wounds including two to the head. It was a grisly tabletop discussion, no doubt, especially since experts think the gun-toting killer was none other than McNair's 20-year-old mistress. Police won't confirm for sure, but it's looking like the pert, pretty woman he'd toted around on vacations and successfully hid from his wife pulled the trigger before turning the gun on herself. Breakups on Ice

Hell hath no fury than that of a woman scorned, indeed. Which got us thinking, what are some other beastly acts that can be traced to a soured romance? It was scary how easy it was to come up with a quick few.

1.) John and Lorena Bobbitt: Who can forget this tale of a quarreling drunk couple, a carving knife and sausage-shaped object thrown carelessly into a field? Made from the stuff Stephen King only wishes he'd penned first, Lorena Bobbitt very famously grabbed a carving knife, chopped off half her husband's penis, hopped in a car and threw his manhood in a field right around their Manassas, Virginia home. The police valiantly searched for a severed penis, found it and reunited John with his wang during a nine and a half hour operation. Of course, Lorena claimed John abused her and, of course, he denied it. She was later found not guilty because the jury thought she was crazy. Sounds about right.

2.) O.J. Simpson and Nicole Brown: The sad story of O.J. Simpson and ex-wife Nicole Brown is another epic legend that errs on the side of crazier than fiction. As we all know, Nicole and lover/friend (?) Ronald Goldman were found dead outside Nicole's home on June 21, 1994. As we all know, Nicole's ex-husband O.J. Simpson was eventually pegged as prime suspect and as we all know, Simpson got off. O.J. and Nicole had a tumultuous marriage. Before divorcing, O.J. pleaded no contest to a domestic violence charge.

3.) Lisa 'Left-Eye' Lopes and Andre Rison: The late TLC band member was convicted of setting her boyfriend's house on fire in 1994. Lopes claimed she just wanted to "barbecue" his shoe collection as a revenge for his infidelity, but inadvertently ended up turning his entire mansion into open flame. She was sentenced to five years probation and therapy at a halfway house.

Can you relate?

Again a man lies to a woman and get caught up in his lies. McNair was still married he should have left Kazemi alone until he filed for divorce or completely divorced. I think he was playing games with her and she was hurt and could not deal with it. I have had a man to lie to me about his marital status, and this is not right at all. He could have told her he was going to work things out with his wife and she went crazy on him. I do know she was plotting by purchasing a gun. McNair brought this wrath upon himself, by playing the worst game you can play that is lying and cheating. Men need to know STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH WOMEN IT HURTS AND SOME WOMEN DO NOT RECOVER LIKE OTHERS!!!!! My prayers and sympathy goes out to Mrs. McNair and the children.

It's funny how cheating is rampant in most of these instances. Granted, these people are typically celebrities and have money and tons of suitors. But I'm sure it's happening more and more in virtually all relationships.

Infidelity isn't cool, but let's look at the moral of this story: be careful who you're with AND be careful who you cheat with. You could lose a house, your life, or even an important body organ!
