Door is Open for Rolando McClain to Play vs. Dolphins

PrintRolando McClain is going to play on Sunday...I think. Jerry McDonald, who has a lot more first hand knowledge and observations of the Raiders than I, doesn't think so. Here's McDonald:
After missing a week of practice after being excused to attend a funeral and then winding up in a police report, it’s hard to imagine McClain playing against Miami.
McDonald's sentiment is reinforced with what Hue told the team before they broke for the bye week. Jackson:
What I told them, most important, is one, that you represent this organization and this team and don’t do anything stupid that will cost you not to be a member of this football team.
However, Jackson has certainly left the door open for the possibility of McClain playing. Here is Jackson following practice before the team left for Miami:

It all hinges on Ro's attitude and whether or not Hue believes McClain is contrite. Any lack of humility at this point and
McClain will ride the board in Miami (but not like Kelly Slater).

Hue is maturing as a coach with every one of these freaking snafus
I believe he’ll do the right thing, and I trust him on this one.

"In football, I root for the Oakland Raiders because they hire castoffs, outlaws, malcontents, and fuck -ups, they have lots of penalties, fights, and paybacks, and because Al Davis told the rest of the pig NFL owners to go get fucked. Someday, the Raiders will be strong again, and they will dip the ball in shit and shove it down the throats of the wholesome, white, heartland teams that pray together and don't deliver late hits." - George Carlin.
Decatur Local
From Decatur Local….sorry Raider fans, but I suggest you take off your rose colored glasses and hope your coach or Goodell saves Rolando’s life. Living in Decatur, we the local community have pulled for and supported Rolando through Alabama & to Oakland. But also, 100% or so of the community fully believes what was reported because we know Rolando’s history. I would go watch him play high school football because you could tell he was gifted. But I also watched him play high school basketball with an ANKLE MONITOR. His co-defendant is always by his side. Know him as well. I sat a few rows from Rolando earlier this year at the local basketball competition between the 2 high schools, with Rolando wearing his sunglasses the whole time. Last night when the 2 teams played, the local school superintendent put out a public request that Rolando not attend due to the bad example it would set (Google it), without even knowing Rolando had already left for Miami to meet your team. When he was shot at earlier this year, while working out with some of the local police, we were talking about it, and they commented they weren’t surprised. He was sued here locally last year for hitting a fellow Alabama student with a car, twice, and then body slamming him. I even had Rolando sign a poster for my nephew this summer at an event he was sponsoring & he asked where I got it. Why is it 2x this year he has been home and gunfire has taken place. We have another local player his age, Jerraud Powers, DB for the Colts, who is nothing but a shining example. The next incident Rolando gets in here, will probably get him killed. A guy 6’5, 255 lbs., known to carry a gun, threatens someone, they will shoot him first, and ask questions later, claim self-defense, and will get off. Sadly, the community here doesn’t want him to come back. His smiling pic while getting arrested says it all, "I am above the law". Ya’ll can keep him.

3" is a substantial miscalculation in my book!!!….Especially from someone who knows him from childhood???
"Tebowphobe"!!!
"We have another local player his age, Jerraud Powers"
Jerraud Powers…..Date of birth: July 19, 1987 (age 24)
Rolando McClain…Date of birth: July 14, 1989 (age 22)
They Prolley weren’t even on the same teem…One Varsity when the other was “Jr V”…
Would a local who knows them make that mistake???
"Tebowphobe"!!!
You're nit picking
24 and 22 are the same age. If one was 22 and the other was 28, that would be more significant. Especially if they were gifted athletes, they played varsity together for at least two years. 6-5 and 6-3 isn’t that much different either, especially if this guy is short/small.
I Know I Am...But I Do Like That...Sorta Can't Help It After So Many Seasons Around The Science Fields...
A small discrepancy when compounded by added event becomes a huge problem down the road…
I was just using it to point out that NOTHING posted here by any of us should be taken with too much more than a grain of salt…Aside from those who have the Press Passes we are very rarely privileged with anything of merit…The poster that I was posting to has a background in Psychology and I wouldn’t deny that he has an understanding in his field anymore than to deny that I have understanding in mine but a post like I was referring to needs to be scrutinized before acceptance…This is testimony as to how that public feels towards our player and there needs to be more than that to quantify it as believable…
Nothing was offered there to substantiate anything other than the opinion/speculation of the author…Everything noted is easily gathered from the web…I take serious doubt with it at this time…
"Tebowphobe"!!!
New Evidence: Therefor I Question This Also..."But I also watched him play high school basketball with an ANKLE MONITOR"
McClain, Willingham and Tapscott do not have criminal records in Morgan County, according to files in the circuit clerk’s office.

"they played varsity together for at least two years."...How Did You Arive At That??
Ro was a Sophomore when Powers was a Sr….Only if Ro made Varsity his 1st year would he have played together on the same team…
Most “HS” as far as I know are from 10th to 12th grades and the Freshmen year is in Jr-High 7th to 9th???…Therefor as a freshmen in HS he would not have been on the same team as Powers as a “Jr”…

I hope he does play simply because I want the team to win
But “no reason why I shouldn’t”?
Dumb as a box of rocks.

No reason why I shouldn't
Have to assume that he means he hasn’t been benched or scratched or suspended by the league and thus is able to play. Otherwise, he doesn’t know wtf he’s talking about.
The enormity of his obliviousness to the situation is impressive. Reminds of Suh's cool and detached parsing of the stomp tape
both actually consider themselves innocent and blameless. Can Hue break McClain? … highly doubtful.

Hue isn't going to tip his hand now for two reasons: First, he always plays close to the vest to keep oponents guessing
and secondly, Hue is going to meet McClain face to face, man to man, and tear him a new one. McClain will not play – I’m taking bets on it.

I'm starting to agree with you
I wonder what the players want? A glimpse of their candid thoughts on the subject would shed a ton of insight on the kind of teammate Ro is.
They charged me 15 dollars. That's how much it costs to only have 20 dollars.

Rock's response indicated that he considers Ro a member of a certain generic type of person.
Raiders veteran running back Rock Cartwright said he intends to talk to McClain about his situation whenever the linebacker returns to the team.
“All you can do is tell them things, try to give them help, but if they don’t want to be helped, then they won’t be helped,” Cartwright said. “Once he gets back, I’ll try to put a bug in his ear and see what’s going on.” DECATUR, Ala. (AP)

That it does. There is certainly no indication of a connection there
or of a willingness on McClain’s part to connect.

Really I Think This Was Very General And NOT A Personal Reference To Ro!
Them-Them-They-They is what he said…Than he said – "Once he gets back,"….I see a difference here…
"All you can do is tell them things, try to give them help, but if they don’t want to be helped, then they won’t be helped,"
Than a direct reference to Ro:
. "Once he gets back, I’ll try to put a bug in his ear and see what’s going on."
"Tebowphobe"!!!
Your reading here is deficient. Rock is refering to an all too common attitude that he finds present in McClain
Ro, like JaMarcus, still lives in the hood where he is king. Neither of these products of the Deep South have matured past that big fish self-identity to embrace the greater one of being a professional football player and member of a team. Hue, who grew up in a rough section of LA, recognizes that attitude and is going to meet it full-on today.

I Agree He's Refering To An Attitude That's Way Too Common...NO Argument There..
But I see it as he wants to sit down and get a grip on what happened and than get in his ear…He want’s to see if Ro is one of these types not that he’s saying he already has seen it in the man….
2 distinct parts of his comment…
1st a general reference to a type of player that won’t let you into his head..
2nd how he will try to get inside Ro’s head to find out what’s going on…
"Tebowphobe"!!!
Man, am I getting lessons in psychology from all of this blogging!
It is amazing how so many conclusions are being made as though people had a crystal ball that is unusually infallible. I am incapable of making all of these conclusions based upon what sparse evidence people are reading into, and no one really knows Ro’s side of the story! Just think how amazing all of these people’s fortune-telling is if it all pans out as they predict, or of all of the damage being done to Ro’s and Cartright’s personalities if Ro is actually innocent. It is all beyond me!
It's NOT Quantum Mechanics!!!
Cartright spoke in 2 distinct formats…
1st in the form of Them/They…
2nd in the form of He/His…
One was in a plural form and the other in a singular form…
One was in general and the other was specific..
One was about the many and the other was about Ro…

Example:
Those dishes are dirty…
Maybe that cup is too…
Those dishes need to be washed sometime today…
I need that cup now…..
Raiders veteran running back Rock Cartwright said he intends to talk to McClain about his situation whenever the linebacker returns to the team.

"Tebowphobe"!!!
When I conduct an assessment for a psychological/personality evaluation, I need far more solid evidence than what has been presented.
Given this is not a professional evaluation of Ro, and this is just a blog, you all can pretty much do or say what you like as this is part of the pleasure of blogging. I’m just saying that this is not the way I do things. The notion of personalities being hurt here is really subjective and in the eyes of the beholder, but my feedback is to enhance more awareness. Have fun!
Understood...We Have Talked Before So I Know Who You Are...
But I’m NOT breaking down anything according to personalities or mental conditions…I’m only looking at the context of the 2 statements…Grammatically speaking…The speaker changed his wordage but it’s the same speaker…Why if not due to 2 different meaning or applications…
Now if he had said:
“All you can do is tell him things, try to give him help, but if he don’t want to be helped, then he won’t be helped,” Cartwright said. “Once he gets back, I’ll try to put a bug in his ear and see what’s going on.”
I would never have called attention to it…But you do see the difference here do you not???
"Tebowphobe"!!!
There are many ways to read Cartwright, which is one reason why I am cautious.
From the evidence so far, Cartwright might mean that Ro is like an insolent child who might be hardheaded, or he might mean that he wants to know what is going on and will place a bug in his ear to understand and help him. The bug in the ear could allude to Cartwright perceiving confusion in Ro and wants to help him through confusion. The list could go on and be extensive for all we really know so I refrain from conclusions. Cartwright was just an example of the many roads that can be produced, but the crux of the analysis truly rests on what is going on in Ro, and I find myself at a far greater loss to make such conclusions.
True You Be!!...I Don't Know Ro Either...
There’s his child history but we all react differently to these things so no concrete solution there…Only suspicions…
Ro’s friends look like thugs but the same has been said about me!!..Fact is they were all members of a “HS” basketball program so prolley NOT the bad bad boys in school???
"Tebowphobe"!!!
Decatur Local above posted after I did. This is the sort of evidence that I find more credible.
A witness like that has more historical evidence of Ro’s nature, I only hope he is not giving his biased opinions, which is something I would not overlook, but I am now suspect of Ro.
Did You Read With Scrutiny???
If you knew a player from your town and sat near him at games even getting an autograph would you have made this mistake??
“A guy 6’5, 255 lbs.,”……
That’s NOT evidence on an anonymous blog where anyone anywhere can sign in as anything they desire and post accordingly….Sorry but until there’s something to substantiate that the community feels that way I’m not buying…
It’s like that poster from “J-Mac”s blog who spoke about Ro’s family being harassed…I posted it as possible info being unknown if containing truth until something was posted also in that police report…Now it has some degree of support but still not substantiated as fact…
I don’t see anything legit with that post above at this point so will hold it at bey until I do…
"Tebowphobe"!!!
Now you're talking PR! Excellent critical thinking skills.
After reading what you posted above, that is the type of scrutiny that is required. This prevents needless slamming and labeling of personalities. Good job and I applaud you!
The poll asks "should he play." Based on Bresnahan's and Hue's press conferences, I now doubt he will play.

hmm....I can't see Curry being a good fit at MLB. Too much thinking
However, Blackstock is awful. So that may be a better option. I guess the question is would Curry’s edge over Blackstock be greater than Curry’s edge over Groves.
The other option is to play more 2 lb sets, and use 3 safeties, and put Mitchell in the hybrid lb/safety role.

What kind of message will that send to the idiot if they chose to play him? Will that make Hue look desperate? I say suspend him before the
League does. I want to win more than the next guy, but not with a knucklehead like this.
Its only 18 votes but half say, " only if he has the right attitude"? And what attitude is that, that he feels genuinely remorseful for beating a guy and sticking a handgun to his head and pulling the trigger???
Send him home, he can kick it with JaFatass and sip on that purple drank drank together.
Suspend him before the league does
That’s a good point. If the Raiders don’t take action, then the league is likely too, perhaps be even more harsh.
On the other hand, what if he really is innocent? His lawyer says he is, as to be expected from a lawyer. But that probably means the state has a weak case or no case it all, otherwise they’d have plea bargained. The witness may not be credible or if there were no powder burns, etc. If he will have beaten the case, and they punish him before he gets a chance to, that wouldn’t be sending much of a message to players who would then assume they are guilty until proven innocent.
At this point, the worst that can be said to him is that he’s hanging out with the wrong crowd.

But powder residue can travel three feet or more, depending on the type of gun.
Both Ro if he fired that gun and this alleged victim would have had this Nitrate evidence on their skin….This is a fundamental practice in cases like this and negligence if it wasn’t done by tat police department…

From his arrest photo, it looks like it was taken the next morning.
He could have hidden the gun and washed his skin (or whatever you do to get the nitrates off you).

What ever happened to. . .
innocent til proven guilty? The way i see it, we only have one sided info so far, and we havent heard McClain’s side yet. When i first read about this story on McClain, it first claimed he was just a suspect for being a witness. And now he is the suspect? im just saying, this kind of looks like murkey waters too me.
That Pic Is The Only Issue Hear At This Time...As Per "J-Mac"
Rest assured, Raiders CEO Amy Trask, who has been in lockstep with Jackson, was mortified by the photos which showed a smiling McClain being put into a police car. She cares deeply about how the Raiders brand is portrayed, and the McClain photo ranks among the all-time low moments.
"Tebowphobe"!!!
I hpe Trask knows that were forever the Raiders
The leagues hated villains, the cast offs. We will never look like the goody two shoes nice guys of the league which i think she wants us to be more like.
RIP Al Davis
My Perspective...From The Player's Side Of Things:
Gotta get back on that horse and ride…That’s the biggest thing here for Ro…He needs to get his head back in this game and back with his Bros on that football field…He needs to show them and his coaches and himself that this game and his team is really what matters most to him…And he needs to go out and take some fools freakin head off just because he’s in the way…Prolley needs to go out and have the game of his life because that’s really what this is to him now…
This team needs to see him do it…They need to know if they can depend upon him…And by damn if they see it they will embrace him and all will be well in the Raider Nation as we stomp a mud hole in that Dolphin ass!!
Than this team and the coaches and the front office along with Ro can do what ever is necessary as “Damage Control”…After we all see Ro play his freakin heart out Sunday…
Now if he ain’t up for that and flops out there on that turf than sit his weak ass down and deal with his stupidity like a pissed off father to a son….Slap his fuckin ass to the bench!!
"Tebowphobe"!!!
May I Add: "02" If Callahan Had An Ox Of Freakin Balls He Would Have Done Likewise With Barret Robins Instead Of Sending Him Home!!
That pissed me off so freakin bad I was willing to take that coaches freakin head off myself!!!
I was at Peohes Restaurant the night Robbins was crying…Wednesday night in Coronado…Outside they were filming the NFL show with Dan Marino and Colenworth which is why I was there…Mo Collins and Lincoln Kennedy were there with Robbins and holding everyone at bey when they left to the car…Allot of talk was going around and Marino was shooting his mouth off about Robbins being a big baby…
Had he been given an opportunity to go out and play his freakin heart out things may have turned out completely different for everyone concerned…But that’s not what happened and that team cold never gel with their “C” again…End of story for Robins at that point in his life…
I sure as hell don’t want to see anything similar happen now to Ro…If that’s a possibility here??
"Tebowphobe"!!!
I'd love to see McClain shake off the old ways, shed the leprous Deep South mentality, and embrace Hue's vision and
unlike JaMarcus, play up to his potential. Just don’t believe he can without a severe event and stronger will than his … enter Coach Jackson.

McClain is mending fences now, but bounced from home to home in his teen years as his Mother struggled with authorities and a diagnosis of bi-polar disorder.
When he was 11, Rolando’s father was arrested for selling cocaine and given 3 yrs probation but wanted his son to learn from the error of his ways, taking him to the Huntsville airport to watch him wash dishes, teaching his son “There are better ways to make a living”.
When he was 17 he left home with “The clothes on my back and a scholarship to Alabama” after a conftontation with his mother ended in her arrest.
In December 2005, McClain received a court order to keep his mother away from him, according to court records. “We got into an argument,” McClain’s petition said. “My mom pushed and hit me several times. She left the room and got a knife. She threatened to kill me.”
Despite their tumultuous relationship McClain insists his Mother taught him core ideals and most importantly, right from wrong.
For the young McClain, family struggles extended beyond his Mother.
In the Decatur housing project McClain grew up in drugs and violence were prevalent. Gang rivalries developed between the city’s two high schools. The kids at Decatur High were known as the “Homeboys,” and those from Austin High called themselves “Cash Money Boys.” Fights between the groups were common.
McClain took these lessons to heart and though he fled the strife of his teen aged home life, he maintained rare focus and phenomenal study habits through out his adversity.

"Tebowphobe"!!!
We Can Ill Aford To Lose This AFC Game.....The Tie Breakers Issues Are Already Against Us Enough!!
With all the hype now being given to Tebow by the NFL…Stretching already into next month as his pic will be featured on their 1st ever release issue of the new “NFL Magazine”…We can expect that “Donkey” to get the "Zebra"s help in winning to stay alive in the AFCW race…That’s just a given!!!
Stumble now and we prolley fall…This week therefor is the “Must Win” of all “Must Wins” this season…I’m sure Hue and company are all very well aware of that also…I can’t help but believe that if Ro gives us the best opportunity to win that he shall be in there giving it his all while trying to win back both his team mates and coaches as well as us fans…While sticking it in the eye of those fucken asinine "Mediot"s who chose to print that worthless damn “Smiling” pic above all others world wide…For no other purpose than to shame not only Ro but our team and fans as well…Along with the memory of Mr Davis!!…
The part that Ro has played in this has stupidity written all over it while not being intentionally motivated to shame our proud franchise…But make no mistake about it…The damn fuckin "Mediot"s who chose that pic above all others very much intended to shame the memory of Mr Davis and this proud franchise…I condemn them for their ignorance and their actions!!!
Now someone PLEASE find me a shameful pic of that NFL “GodChild” so I can spread it throughout the universe in retaliation!!!…Damn That “Donkey” ASS!!!
"Tebowphobe"!!!
Normally I'm with you Panty
But you sound like every celebrity who ever got in trouble with the “It’s the media, it’s the media” nonsense.
Fact of the matter is, if McClain was doing right then he would have never got in that position. If McClain was acting like a man in that situation and not being a dumbshit kid actually posing for the cameras then that picture never would have been taken. You can’t fault the photographer for getting a million dollar shot. Even if the photographer/cops were taunting the hell out of him, he should know that he’s in a predicament and should act accordingly.
To me that’s child’s play. And you are talking to a guy who’s been put in the back of a squad car a time or two in my youth.

I Haven't Excused Ro In The Least!!!...I'm Also Not Excusing The Damn "Mediot"s For Selecting The Worst Posible Pic To Publish To The Public!!
How many pics do you figure were taken that day while being arrested?..10-20-50…But that shit is the only one we will ever see…WHY?
"Tebowphobe"!!!
why wouldnt they publish that pic?
They should, it shows alot about Ro.

They Prolley Instigated That Pic By Proding Him For A Smile??
Than when he tilted his head and gave that exaggerated forced grin the printed it!!!
Come’on!!…Do you all really believe that’s what Ro was doing the entire time of his arrest???
Get fuckin real!!

The entire time? no
when he saw that camera? yes

So you think its more likely
that a reporter or photographer said “hey McClain why dont you give me a smile?”, and smiled? then it is McClain saw the Camera and smiled? Even if that is true, he shouldn’t be stupid enough to smile in that situation.

True That Be Dumb!!...But At 22 Be They That Dumb!!!
In the moment one may not consider the possibilities that will be eventually realized…If he was doing as if to say….“Ya! Fuck You Too”…But not knowing that they would have a motive for provoking it…They want that shot!!
"Tebowphobe"!!!
Let Me Ask...How Many Times Have You Seen The "Mediot"s Trying To Prod Hue Or A Player For A Comment??
They do it all the time right!!…
Last season or the one before they asked Jay Richardson something about the Raiders’ “D” and he didn’t answer…Then they saked again and he said "Well ya know it’s Al’s “D” right"….So that’s what they printed…No details about the context of it only that Jay said it Al’s “D”…
On “J-Mac”s blog I asked him point blank what was the mood of that comment…He replied that it was in a mood of laughter and light hardheartedness…In other words a Joke!!…
The reason this came up is because some on another board were using that as the smoking gun to say see…Al runs the “D”…I copied everything back to them from “J-Mac” and the URL to shut that crap up…
I have seen this far too often to NOT suspect it now…
"Tebowphobe"!!!
I dont doubt that it happens all the time, it does
but still, asking for a smile while the guys getting arrested?

Because it's the most newsworthy?
“Nfl player acts like complete jackass on perp walk, film at 11”
Of course theyre publishing that picture, no “mediot” told boo to go do his thing with tard and tweezy, or told the cops to make the arrest. They stood on a public street and took a picture. Your “mediot” obsession is starting to border your tebow obsession, no mean feat…

"No reason why I shouldn't,"
Im sorry but isnt this a type of Raider answer? It may not be something some of you would answer but this guy is a young player playing for the meanest team in the NFL. He doesnt have to make too many friends right now. Bone Head answer? maybe i suppose but I like to think of it as just not playing nice. Dumbass pose? hell ya – but i dont care. neither does he. thats the point. He is saying he is innocent and i half believe from the picture alone. Some may argue that he is acting dumb because Godell will see it and become enraged and try to come down on him with his strong ass power fist move. But there is something holey about the Raiders and football and Raider football. The stigma of not giving a fuck. That no man that is not your family is better or means dogshit. Of course the whole NFL is a family and to a degree the degree of ‘not giving a fuck’ has levels and scales, but its there, and should be celebrated. NOT MOCKED. We are the fans not the moral(s) police.
Dangerously? Yea.

Hue MUST bench him
1 game minimum.
I don’t care what the playoff implications are. McClain took 1st prize in the “How to look like a fucking idiot” contest with that picture. The look on his face is one that says nothing but, “I don’t care”
If he doesn’t care about being thrown into the back of a squad car while the press takes his snapshots, then who’s to say he cares about stopping the run?
I was willing to back him through these last two years. I never expected him to be the next Brian Urlacher out there, but I do expect him to do everything in his power to get better at his position, and act like a decent human being.
Whether you believe in conspiracies against the Raiders (Which I subscribe to) or not, you can’t help but wonder if they refs are going to be looking at our side some more, because we have a thug who likes to play with guns wearing our colors.
And to the guys spinning this as some sort of “Raider attitude” cliche I say this to you. In the old days our guys were gettting picked up for drunk and disorderly. Stabler never went to jail because he pulled a gun on someone. The old school guys were way too tough to play with a weak man’s crutch. Raiders are tough mother fuckers, they aren’t a bunch of rag waving pussies who can’t fight for themselves.
I will be fully admittant that my problem is the gun charge. If he was getting hauled into the back of that car for a bar fight or something I wouldn’t concern myself with it. But the fact that McClain is stupid enough to put himself or get put into a weapon charge situation, makes me seriously question whether or not he can be trusted to become the man we (and himself) need.
If Hue does nothing about this situation then my respect for him will seriously drop. The only exception to this rule is if it comes out that McClain is indeed innocent. If he only got picked up because he is a semi-celebrity (Which has happened before) then I will retract the majority of the comments I have made above. But something in my guts tell me that he’s not innocent, and that if Hue doesn’t put his foot down on this then it’s only going to get worse.

I agree...
even though I would hate to see it, Jackson needs to suspend McClain for at least one game. Jackson needs to show that poor judgment has consquences and this is what McClain did, show poor judgment. McClain is one of the faces of the Oakland Raiders and he represents the Raiders regardless if he’s in uniform or not.
I will put down my stamp of agreement on this reasoning ...
I see him not playing this weekend, because I think Hue is smart enough to know that to not do so sets a bad precedent, and will be disappointed if he does not.
The Miami game is important, but there’s still 4 ‘common opponent’ games after it, the next two of which (Det, GB) are teams the Donks lost to, and I don’t think the TB is going to go down to AFC record, so, in reality, all three of the next three games should have equal importance. And the Donks ain’t no shoo-in for any of their games either. Anything could still happen. We should be getting a number of people back for the GB game, and those dudes are due for a let-down here at some point.
Frankly, no matter what happens this year, with all the adversity and injury we’ve had … I’m going to be fucking stoked for next year, because that’s the year I really expect things to come together and we make a serious push. This year would be nice, but I just dunno if we can overcome it all.
Football Outsiders overall DVOA ranking has us as the worst of the teams w/a winning record, aside from the Donks, at two spots behind us … and I’d be damn sure they’d be ahead of us if they only counted the last 6 games. We ain’t exactly a powerhouse, esp. w/o Dmac, Moore, and Ford.
Basically, this team is pretty good, but I dunno know that going to be good enough to get to the playoffs this year, let alone win any games there. Not with so many of our starters battling injuries, and a few key guys being on IR. And I think it’s MORE important in the long run that we get McClain back onto the right track in life here. If he still has a place in AL, he needs to friggin sell it, and move his friggin world to Danville or someplace like that. Start hanging with ADULT’s, and take up golf or some shit like that.
‘The Streets’ will drag him right back down if they get the chance, they’d love nothing more. Someone needs to to get that through this kids head before it’s too late.

Due process. Innocent until proven guilty.
ASSHOLE for even getting CLOSE to a confrontation that would put him in this type of situation. Then again I was an asshole when I was 22 also. I just didn’t have a million bucks to become a GRADE “A” ASSHOLE.
On a sicker note…………… all I can invision in my head right now is Brandon Marshall scoring a TD , making a “gun” out of his hand and pulling the trigger next to his ear hole. then cupping his hand like “what’d ya say”?

A healthy fine
That’s what the Raiders needs to do. Take a sizable bite out of that big contract and hit him where he’ll really remember it.
Only if he has the right attitude, but it doesnt sound like he does
VittorioTafur Vittorio Tafur
Readers coming in 50-50 whether McClain should be allowed to play, McClain told Comcast SportsNet last night, “No reason why I shouldn’t,”
I'm not sure him playing would be the best idea
If only because of all the drama surrounding him. If his head isn’t fully in the game then he could do more harm than good out there.
If his attitude is right, and his head is in the game, sure let him play. But those are big ifs.
Yep, seems like just another week in the life of Ro'

The Report Said Break In To His Home And Loss Of His TV???
After accusing Tapscott of breaking into his Tuscaloosa house, McClain walked back toward the Skyview Street residence.
Part of the incident may have involved a TV McClain believed Tapscott stole from McClain’s older brother in Tuscaloosa last weekend. Tapscott denied McClain’s allegation.
"Tebowphobe"!!!
Well Now It's Damage Control Time..Ro Has 6-7 Bros Who Were There...One Who Was The Outcast!!
The Bros and Ro need to come together if they haven’t already…Make the picture clear that the one is a liar and trying to get paid $$$…Testify that only one of them hit that bastard in retaliation for him taking a swing with a box cutter…So this way Ro was there but never involved…
As for the gun shot go buy a freakin Starters Pistol for the race track…Fire it a time or two and produce it as the weapon at the fight…Case closed!!!…
Ro…If your reading this now you know what to do…LoL!!

So they should all get together and lie to make Ro look innocent even if he is guilty?
If Ro is guilty he should get locked up for a long time.

I bet we could trade McClain to the Ravens in the offseason for a decent pick.Lewis could whip him into shape,teach him alot, and Ro could be his replacement when he decides to retire.Of course I would only want to trade him if this turns out to be true and/or he doesnt get his attitude fixed.

Ro needs to get his act together now.
If not he can quickly end up like sean taylor, darryl russell, or other NFL players who could not let go of the ghetto. They take it with them where ever they go. I don’t put Mike vick far from that.
He was blessed to get locked up and have a second chance at this.
I hope Ro Mac becomes Mr. Rolando McClain in a hurry.
I say suspend him for at least half a game starting this Sunday.
If he looks like he understands the mess he got himself in, then let him play the second half. If not, suspend him until this is investigated completely or he gets the point.

My point is that if you hang with the wrong crowd........
you can expect bad stuff to happen.
Either directly or indirectly it will come upon you.
Both of these guys had their run-ins with the law and were not fortunate enough to learn from their mistakes. You can argue the point of what happened was not their fault, but there is no arguement as to if they are alive or dead.
There are many other players who are better examples of how hangin out with the wrong crowd can cost you, but you get the point. I hope.
More importantly, I hope McClain gets the point.

Report: Bolts' Spanos weighs firing GM Smith along with Turner
The feeling from those around the team is that Chargers president Dean Spanos has “no choice” but to fire coach Norv Turner after the season,
The future of A.J. Smith also appears to be in jeopardy, with one source indicating that San Diego’s longtime general manager will “almost certainly” be sent packing.
"The decisions are not made," a team source said on condition of anonymity, "but everything is lined up."
Smith’s departure would come as more of a surprise, but a source claimed “the needle on (Smith’s possible firing) has moved from 50/50 to 75/25.”

McClain’s arraignment is set for Jan. 24, and he could face 480 days in jail if convicted of all four misdemeanor charges, according to the report.
Raiders coach Hue Jackson had not yet decided Saturday whether his troubled linebacker would play after the two finally talked. “We’ll see,” Jackson told CSN Bay Area. “I feel very comfortable that we’re getting down to the issues with him. This is something he has to learn from, we all have to learn from. …”I will make the best decision for the organization and the football team."

Punish Ro
Not the team. Taking him off the field hurts the team more than him. He doesn’t play, he still gets paid.
Levy a fine of $100,000 (or more) against him. Tell him the next time ANYTHING happens out of order, it gets doubled.
He's going to have to take some kind of punishment
Just for being in this mess and for the photo. Man needs to stop hanging out with losers.
Stay Away From Home -n- HomeBoyz Too!!
At 22 he’s prolley not mature enough to have his own mind when others are pulling on him in the wrong direction…
But seeing this is encouraging:
McClain, Willingham and Tapscott do not have criminal records in Morgan County, according to files in the circuit clerk’s office.
