Sad stuff...

Quote
Former Pro Bowl fullback Le'Ron McClain complained of head issues related to football and asked the league for help in a series of tweets since Saturday.

"I have to get my head checked. Playing fullback since high school. Its takes too f---ing much to do anything. My brain is f---ing tired," he tweeted from @LeRon_McClain33. "@NFL i need some help with this s---. Dark times and its showing. F---ing help me please!! They dont care I had to get lawyers man!"

McClain played for the Ravens, Chiefs and Chargers in a seven-year NFL career. He made the Pro Bowl in 2008 and '09 while with Baltimore. Also playing running back in 2008, he rushed for a career-high 902 yards with 10 touchdowns.

McClain, 34, was a fourth-round draft pick of the Ravens in 2007 out of Alabama.

On Saturday, he also tweeted: "Need to tell my story of how my head is crazy and how football did it.... Please someone help me get this out the @NFL puts paperwork in out faces and thats it. Yes its programs f--- all that I need help now I need a plan..... F--- Man. They dont f---ing get it man."

Well for an educated so called good football players I can't say much for his language in front of all the kids who read his tweets. Idiot! RTR!

In his case, I don't see how he can blame the NFL without also blaming Alabama, his high school and other teams he played on... Still, I hope he is able to get the help he needs.

I believe as a player with a 7-year career, he has "retirement" benefits such as insurance through the NFL.  Also, they have a committee who oversees a $1billion fund related to CTE (research, benefits/settlements for ex-players, etc).

I think the tweets show that he does have brain damage.  This isn't the LeRon we knew.
