Le'ron Angry With Baltimore Fans

It's a sign of selfishness as a player, to give in to your frustration and cost your team. The twitter remark shows his lack of maturity.

All his twittering does. I had to stop following him on twitter.

What Le'Ron wrote was pretty benign compared to some of the things people write on here after a loss..

His "ego was bruised"? The entire teams was.. It was a tough loss, considering we dominated for the majority of the game. The loss doesn't fall on Le'Ron's shoulders, if anything, he was a big reason for us staying in it - converting on short yardage and doing an excellent job in blocking his man. You can only give the ball to Brady and that offense so many times before he makes those plays.

Le'Ron admitted fault for the penalty. Those saying he needs to "grow up" or is "stupid" really need to re-evaluate.

Looks like Dante Stallworth has talked to him or at least tweeted him. He said "Things that are done, it is needless to speak about...things that are past, it is needless to blame." ~Confucius

Man, Donte' is so deep.

Here's what I don't like....While I dont disagree with the penalty called against him, that type of thing happens every single week, multiple times each week. The large majority of the time, a flag isn't thrown.Anyway, LeRon, just Please be quiet.. Use your head, in the games and in the media.

[Vademor]

Once he apologizes it will be forgotten. Was said after a tough loss, so I wouldn't take much out of it...

[purple.n.black]

I'm fine until the end where he said "f...them"
I think he feels like maybe he did cost the game then. I don't think so though. We had numerous opportunities to seal the victory

[DrMoonTooth]

He's a professional football player, so he needs to learn to take criticism with a grain of salt. Any crucial mistake is up for grabs as a reason for a loss, and his personal foul during crunch time is not acceptable. Don't hate the fans, hate the game...and until the game changes, [b]play by the rules[/b].

Bullrush...that's B.S. Play calling and execution cost us the game.
[/quote]
OK so this one person didn't cost us the game but this other person did.....

We lost as a team.

[RavensAllTheWay]

I feel really sorry for the Bills......

[CapoRocky]

Many children look up to the players as role models. That kind of post is inexcusable. Rather than trade McGahee, who sat quietly on the bench all game, they should look into trading McClain. I'm sure that someone will give us a 3rd or 4th round pick for him. I've lost all respect for him now.

Me, too. They really have become the "Punching bag of the NFL".

In all honesty, had there not been a guy on the ground right behind him at knee level... Cunningham wouldnt have fallen and it wouldn't have been a flag. It just so happens McClain did the unintentional School Yard Flip.

I think the Cary Willimas block in the back was a huge penalty too.
[/quote]


Cunningham went down like a sack of turds. I have never seen a man that big go down that easy with his arms flailing. That is why I was mad at McClain, he was sucked right into the trap. That team has just moved into my top spot for teams I can't stand to even look at. The cheapshot on Heap, the crybaby QB and the flailing around like a girl and dropping when you weigh 230+ pounds. Man that team drives me nuts.

Trade our two-time Pro Bowl Fullback? What he did/said was out of emotional frustration and inexcusable, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. It's not like he was the only contributing factor in the loss.

I don't think I could have agreed more. The twitter comment really stands out to me, those are some pretty harsh words. He sure did drop a few pages in my book, with or without an apology.

[hawkprey]

I would be pissed too if my so-called fans were blaming an already frustrating loss on me for one play. Personally I wish he didn't draw a flag, but if that were me out there with some guy in my face, I would've drawn a class-action lawsuit.

And don't you come on here saying he's the one that needs to apologize, or pretend like he's being some kind of child. We got no business calling him out like that.

[TheRavenouseD2008]

lets behonest mcclain is not at fault he is upset with US the fans , maybe we need to reflect and see IF we need to apologize to him, I noticed alot of fans blaming him on his blocking for rice , keep in mind le'ron is only one guy not 10, team effort , next man up also means if one misses the others compensate , we use that monicker so stick to it , first I will say Leron I am sorry if any of my fellow fans did anything to make you angry or discourage you keep up the work man

Really? We don't even have another FB on the roster. And McClain barely did anything. A guy pushed him multiple times, and McClain gave him a push that was lighter than the ones he was getting. But because of people on the ground he fell. And the refs always flag who retaliates. How about Mason's personal foul a few weeks ago? Should we package Mason in this trade now too? You know what I say we fire Harbs since he hits refs too. I mean it's not like it is a physical game built around physical contact and you can expect some extra physical contact to occur or anything...

[FWalkerHOF]

hey leron, Please be quiet., you're not 1/2 as good as you think you are.

[ThRaShMeTaLRaVeN]

are you kidding me??? pushing and shoving happens every game all game long. this guy that le'ron pushed should get an award. The blame of this loss needs to go on more deserving shoulders. Harbaugh, Cameron, Mattison. How about we put a big boy in at running back at least a few times. How about we put a Mountain in at dt every once and awhile to keep the undersized NE running game in check. How about Lord Harbaugh stop making excuses for not playing a 240lbs Hurricane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! damit!!!!! What has willis done except produce when he is in there. Le'ron don't take nothing back and don't apologize for nothing!!!

[SnOoPy]

Leron plays hard. He's prolly upset that fans are blaming him for Lost. It was a TEAM lost! Yeah he made a bad move but c'mon. It's football! LeRon is a beast and people need to chill! The man loves Baltimore!

[K-Dog]

Okay, group hug.

Now every one calm down.

[CapoRocky]

Well, it would only make sense to include Mason in the McClain deal if we can get a decent pass rushing DE and another FB in return. It's not like FBs are marquis players that do more than block and occasionally take a draw play or catch passes. Mason is at the end of his career, so I doubt that there will be many offers for him. My papa once told me that "Un uomo che è senza l'onore non merita per vivere." Maybe things were alot more serious in his day, but honor isn't anything to laugh or joke about. If you were a man of honor, then you would know what I meant.

Fact is, neither Mason nor McClain will be traded. I'm sorry you're so hurt by the words of an athlete on twitter but the team isn't going to move him because of his immature and rash outburst.

[Tighthead420]

The guy turned a 3 and 9 into a 3rd and 19(?) and we are coddling him? Some of the fans did throw him under the bus, but as a pro you MUST know better. Harbs even said as much after the game...they always flag the retaliation. A true pro would know that and keep his cool. The loss isn't his fault, but using twitter to complain about a few fans being dill-holes...that's pre-school crap. You committed the costly penalty McLain...not the idiot fans who blamed you for Cam's crappy play calling, Harbs lack of cojones on 4th and short, the defense falling apart etc etc etc.

McClain didn't give up 20 points to New England in 4 quarters. McClain didn't cost us a 10-point lead and it wasn't him who couldn't do anything on offense. Even if the flag was avoidable - every gain New England made, every loss of opportunity on our side, those were all avoidable too. You only blame McClain because it happened at the end of the game. How near-sighted.

[CapoRocky]

I say that Harbo needs to be a man and bench him for the Bills game. We laughed it off when he was insubordinate with the 4RB stuff in training camp, but telling the fans, and disrespecting his owner and coaches by saying "F" us is way out of line. True, we need a FB, but at what cost?

How have his comments hurt anyone? He lashed out and made himself look bad. Benching him over comments on twitter would just be dumb.

[CapoRocky]

Maybe benching is unwise in light of the lack of depth at FB. Coaches have the power to fine a player for conduct detrimental to the team. Fine him and tell him to shut the hell up. Be a man, Harbo. I can't imagine lining up Rice and McGahee in the backfield together. Long life the 2-headed monster! FBs only need to block anyway. They are nothing but mules.

Having McClain makes life a hell of a lot easier for Rice and McGahee. Having a ProBowl, multi-talented FB isn't something you should take for granted. He wrote a stupid thing on twitter and he deserves to be benched? Le'Ron's been an excellent player and teammate for the Ravens.

Really, who brought this guy?
Randall Cobb made some comments on twitter about the booing and lack of support from fans after an emotional victory over #10 South Carolina. Does it REALLY matter? No. Think of all the emotions going on during the game. Think about how hard these players compete. Of course they are going to be upset that after trying so hard they failed in a bad way, or in Cobb's case that the fans were not really behind the team.
To say anything like that you honestly muse either not understand football, or not be a true fan. I know the emotions I go through during a game on my couch. Think about being on the field in the NFL, actually being a started and important to getting a win for your team. I've met Le'Ron, he is chill when he has to be, but he is serious about football just as any football player should be.
