The Baltimore Ravens are aware of last night’s situation involving Steve McNair and the Nashville police. Head coach Brian Billick talked with Steve today.
Ravens president Dick Cass issued this statement:
“We are aware of the situation involving Steve McNair. We have talked with Steve and persons in Nashville familiar with what happened this last night. We have also been briefed regarding the Tennessee law. We do know that Steve was a passenger in a car he owns that was stopped for speeding. Steve was not arrested for drinking, or driving the car irresponsibly. There is a court process that will now take place, and Steve will participate in these procedures.â€
McNair told the Ravens this:
“I was trying to act responsibly. I have to go through the court process now, and I understand that. I was planning to be in Baltimore for most of the remainder of this month to work out with my teammates, and anticipate that I will be doing that.â€
