Ann Irvin said McClain recently gave her neighbor the money to save her car from repossession. He refused to let the woman repay him, Irvin said.

“He does a lot of good,” said Irvin, who said McClain lived with her family throughout his high school years. “If you don’t get to know him, you might form the wrong opinion of him. He’s a good child. He’s a blessed child. He’s come a long way, and I want to see him go farther.”

Again I ask, why is he not in Bmore learning the playbook?

Color me not impressed. Of course 100 or so people are going to think you're a great guy when you buy them free stuff.

Meh, This is neutral for me.

I'm not going to proclaim him cured or anything, but we WANT our players doing right in the neighborhood. What says he's NOT studying the playbook on every other day? And as far as we know, he's not skipping the OTAs right now. If anything, this shows that at least one time he can step foot in Dectaur without getting arrested.

Nice story, but it's not like with one act he can undo all the boneheaded crap he's pulled. Got a LONG way to go there.

I too am confused as to why there's been no word of him even being near the city

The question was asked in the Ravens chat

Ryan Mink: Unsure, I haven't seen him but I'm not taking roll call either.

When do the Ravens OTAs start?

**Dirt1** · 05-14-2013, 03:32 PM

Ok, I found it. The Ravens OTA schedule is as follows:

Team Schedule
Baltimore Ravens First day: April 15
OTAs: May 21-23, May 29-31, June 4-7
Mandatory minicamp: June 11-13
Rookie minicamp: May 3-5

I was/am in favor of the Ravens signing McClain, but May 21st is the tipping point for me. McClain needs to show up in shape for all of the voluntary OTAs. If he misses any of the OTAs, I would then I change my mind and side with those posters who say that the Ravens should cut him due to his attitude.

On the radio they said that they might have told him to stay away from workouts. If he gets "hurt" lifting or working out with the team, then his salary would be guaranteed.

His salary would be guaranteed if he gets hurt at any point in the off-season if it is at the team facility (OTAs, training camp, etc.). I don't think the Ravens told him to stay away.

**HoustonRaven** · 05-14-2013, 03:37 PM

Ah. My mistake then.

Yeah, the 21st will be the tipping point for me. Still, he IS allowed to be at the facility and working out, reading the playbook, etc.

Well, if he skips on the 21st, like Gabe Carimi is for the Bears now, the team would have full recourse to fine him, or just outright cut him.

My guess is he'll be there. Either half-assing it, or giving it his all. That will be the tell.

I told him to get the hell out of DeCatur and never go back. He should be camping outside
Ozzie's office where he'll even get free food.

What an ass hole. Um, not you HR - Rolando-lol.

The Ravens started practice yet? Why does he have to be in Bmore right now?
