Titans | V. Young, Ganther reportedly hung out with Kazemi Fri Dec 18, 11:43 PM
Kate Howard and Clay Carey, of The Tennessean, reports Tennessee Titans QB Vince Young and Washington Redskins RB Quinton Ganther reportedly hung out with Sahel Kazemi, according to Kazemi's friend and former roommate, Emily Andrews. Kazemi shot and killed former NFL QB Steve McNair before killing herself July 4. Andrews told police she and Kazemi had a get-together with Young and Ganther at a condo owned by McNair. Ganther said he met Kazemi at the restaurant where she worked for several months before the shooting. She had sent him text messages and visited his apartment once, but Ganther denied having a romantic relationship with her. Ganther was interviewed by police, but detectives have not talked to Young and say he is irrelevant to the investigation.
