McNair estate to divest closed restaurant

The widow of slain former NFL star Steve McNair has asked a Nashville judge to approve the sale of his stake in the restaurant he opened shortly before his death – whether the co-owners of the venture agree to the deal or not.

Mechelle McNair filed a motion in Davidson County Probate Court last Friday asking Judge Randy Kennedy to allow her husband's estate to divest ownership of the Gridiron 9 restaurant, where many fans gathered to mourn soon after news emerged of his murder on July 4 of this year.
