Wow! That never occurred to me. You seem so in tune and well connected.
It's because of the honies that follow me around and all the scrilla I have. It's easy for people to make that mistake.

See? That's what's so cool about it, I literally have no idea what 'scrilla' even is! But I know it must be cool!

Darren Woodson was recently interviewed and let McClain have it:
the news that the linebacker's biggest problem may be an addiction to "purple drank":
Woodson: "When Rolando McClain came out and Nick Saban basically stuck his neck out for him two years ago, he came out and I thought his first year, I thought he played exceptionally well. And the word around Valley Ranch had always been that he was highly intelligent, got guys lined up and played with a lot of energy when he was on the field, but after his first year, things seem just to just go spiral down and I know that he ended up getting the suspension, four-game suspension, but the talk around town in Valley Ranch was there were times that he just didn't want to play. He'd show up Wednesday, Thursday, actually didn't want to practice. They'd have to force him to practice. He'd show up on a Friday or Saturday before a game and say, 'Hey, I'm not feeling it. I don't feel like playing.'
"To me, as a football player, there's 53 guys on that roster, man. You're counting on all 53 guys to be available, and especially if you've gone a full week of practice, guys are expecting you to be out there on Sunday to go to battle with them and that, for a guy who was a captain for a number of years as a Dallas Cowboy, that is absolutely unacceptable. And to be that selfish as a person, to not only check yourself out of games, but go through a suspension in (each of) the last couple of years, he just did not want to play the game and I just can't believe the Cowboys offered him another deal this offseason, and that he still hasn't been cut -- and honestly, there's some situations with salary cap that they can't just let him go right now, but they need to separate themselves as far as possible away from Rolando McClain."
