Any notion of transparency is believed only by the naive. Whatever glowing perceptions we have of a public figure, particularly in sports, too often are exposed by lurking warts and skeletons. Just because Steve McNair made a remarkable commitment to community service -- in lockstep with a football career defined by his legendary toughness and tolerance for pain -- doesn't mean he led a perfect life.In truth, he had a 20-year-old girlfriend on the side, a woman who worked as a waitress at a restaurant visited by McNair, his wife and their four sons. McNair and the girl, Sahel Kazemi, often hung out at his downtown condominium and her apartment. Sometimes, she would arrive home in a limousine, and, not long ago, her personal vehicle of choice curiously shifted from a Kia to a black 2007 Cadillac Escalade. Only last Thursday, they were stopped by police inside that Escalade -- registered to her and McNair -- and she was arrested for driving under the influence and refusing to take a breath test, telling officers that she was high but not drunk. McNair wasn't charged and took a taxi from the scene, later bailing his girlfriend out of jail. Oh, and TMZ is circulating photos of the couple taken during a parasailing excursion earlier this year, when they were seen laughing and obviously having fun in their wet suits.
