The Steve McNair Fiasco has been so sad. Recently a Missississpi woman filed a claim against his estate claimng he had a 17-year old love child. He was not the pappi.
A paternity test has shown the former gridiron star did not father the girl, said Lou Taylor, of Tri Star Sports and Entertainment Group, spokesman for McNair’s estate.
Handlers of his estate anticipated there would be potential claims against his fortune, which has been valued at about $19.6 million.
“Very early on it was apparent there would be additional heirs,” Taylor said. “We took every precaution necessary to be able to provide accurate information for potential claims.”
Clover Lee, who lives in McNair’s hometown of Mount Olive, Miss., said she had a relationship with McNair when they were younger. She said that McNair was the biological father of her daughter, referred to as J. N. L. in court filings.
“We were friends, and I never tried to harm him,” she said on Friday. “We dated in high school, and we kept it a secret. I knew him before he was an NFL player when he didn’t have a dime. When he got killed, I had no other choice.”

McNair was killed when a girl he was creeping with shot him and herself.
Police have said the motive for the murder-suicide was the woman’s inability to pay her bills and her jealously over other women in McNair’s life.
