Titans great Steve McNair inducted into Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame

Late Titans quarterback Steve McNair was honored by his son, Tyler, on Saturday with a touching tribute as he was inducted posthumously into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.

“As our family continues to miss his earthly presence each day, we are reminded that his true legacy is built on the life that he lived and his career, not simply his loss,’’ Tyler said, via the team's website. “With Father’s Day merely hours away let me [say] … thank you to everyone and Happy Father’s Day, Dad. We love and miss you terribly.”
