Re: Rolando McClain Retires Again (Page 4 Update: Unretiring... Again?)

Just wanted to give y'all something I heard this morning on our local sports talk radio. Ted Madden who is a Dallas Cowboy beat writer was on the Tim Fletcher Sports Talk Radio show this morning in Shreveport. He said that one day this week Rolando refused to wear his helmet during practice because it was "too hot". He went on to say that some people he's talked to within the organization say he is a major head case. I hope this story was just taken out of context but I heard the entire interview and it sounds like Ro still has some "issues".
Wish he would get help. It sounds like there is some mental stuff going on. Hate to hear all this stuff about him :(

Uhm..........you may want to read the DMN blog. Once again, someone in the media hears something, gets it wrong, and runs with it. It then turns into what we are now seeing.

Ro needs to get back to football shape which he's currently doing. Once he's there he should shine. Glad he is starting though. Great sign! JUST STAY OUT OF DECATUR!!

Decatur does something to a man. It's like you lose half your intelligence when you enter the city limits. Hard to explain.

C'mon! I've been there once. It can't be that bad.

I was born in Decatur, and still live there. Just look at what living there has done to me. :eek2:

Benny Perrin is another ex Bama player from Decatur, he still lives here too.

It's got it's good and bad...like any other place.

Very true of any town that I have lived in. Especially in north Alabama, because of the ut and barn fans. ;)

If a person could be described as a half-wit, I guess that indicates one trip to Decatur.

I heard some bits and pieces that Ro is going to be running the D, from his LB position. Things here are in turmoil, as the Rangers manager suddenly resigned. So, no Cowbag news the last hour or so.

I wish him well, but based on his past, my expectations are low.

I think he's on the 2nd team defense so if he is running the D, it won't be all the time

Unless things have changed, he's starting. That was the report Wednesday.
