"Yes, yes, I am happy. Very happy," he says. "I'm excited to get up every day. I'm excited about football. I'm excited about life. Really, I'm lucky. Just so, so lucky."

McClain rises and walks into another room. I watch him and see his face as he turns a corner some 50 feet away.

He's smiling, big and bright, glowing like someone who's found home.   

I know we've had some good articles on here about Ro, but I think this one is the best yet. I'm really happy for him.

A fantastic read 2, thanks for posting. I can remember those days when he was at Bama and I never saw him smile once. I'm glad he has now found peace with himself and can enjoy life. :clap:

Who would have ever thought that Ro would turn out to be happy working for Jerry Jones?  :lol2:

Don't forget George Teague, he gave everybody a reason to pull for the Cowboys:

Heard about this on the morning news. I was suspicious & this seems to verify it. I am worried about this for several reasons, such as drug/gambling involvement, some type of revenge, insurance fraud, extortion, & so on. Could it just be a simple fire, I hope so.

Or perhaps some of the Decatur folks that Rolo offended might be trying to get back at him?  :popcorn2:

That is one of the things I was alluding to under revenge. The reasons are almost countless.

That looks like a nice house... probably North River?

Anyone have photos before fire?

Very odd, may or may not be related to the owner.   House was empty, anything might have been happening.
