These have covered a wide range of topics within sports, going all the way from a behind the scenes look at Jake Paul’s life to a controversial exclusive talk with an NBA referee found guilty of betting on matches they officiated.

What happened?
McNair died in 2009, found shot four times. Alongside him lay 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi, deceased. Police say Kazemi was having an affair with McNair.

According to testimony, he had told Kazemi that he was planning to get a divorce from his wife and would openly discuss adopting children and starting a life together.
Following a police investigation, it was judged that Kazemi had killed McNair in a murder suicide after discovering he was involved with other women.
