The widow of retired NFL player Steve McNair has been cleared to sell the Nashville restaurant opened by her late husband shortly before he was shot and killed by his mistress. Probate Court Judge Randy Kennedy this week authorized Mechelle McNair to sell Gridiron9 to a potential buyer that has come forward, reports the Associated Press. The judge denied an appeal by one of Steve McNair’s business partners. The quarterback who spent most of his career with the Tennessee Titans was shot to death July 4 by a young woman who then killed herself. Earlier, a Nashville condominium complex trying to collect rent dropped its claim against the estate. McNair was a co-signer on the lease of a condo for his cousin.
