- BREAKING NEWS: RAVENS LB ROLANDO MCCLAIN HAS DECIDED TO RETIRE AT 23 -The Baltimore Ravens have placed inside linebacker and former first-round pick Rolando McClain on the reserve/retired list Wednesday afternoon, General Manager Ozzie Newsome announced via the team’s official website.
“Rolando let me know that he plans to retire from the NFL,” Newsome stated. “We have placed him on the Reserve/Retired list.”
McClain signed a one-year deal with the Ravens in April, but was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest just 10 days later in his hometown of Decatur, Ala. That was just the latest of McClain’s off-field problems since he was drafted by the Oakland Raiders with the eighth-overall pick in 2009.
In December of 2011, McClain was arrested and charged with third-degree assault.
In January, he was arrested after an officer pulled him over for a window tint violation. He reportedly pleaded guilty to that charge on May 6 and charges of providing false information were dropped.
Now McClain finishes his disappointing NFL career at just 23 years old. During his career McClain appeared in 41 games with the Raiders. He had 274 tackles, 6.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and 23 passes defensed.
The Ravens are not losing anything financially. They did not give McClain a contract with any guaranteed money. But now the team is down one less inside linebacker. Which means Arthur Brown (second-round pick) will get his opportunity to start as a rookie. (Photo: CBS Sports)

Stanley Cup Second Round
West
1 Chi v 7 Det- Chicago in 6 Chicago is a quick, and slippery team, posting the best record in the NHL this year. Detroit dominated the Ducks in a 7 game series, but could come out flat as fatigue might set in. Howard and Carwford will both be stellar in this series, but it will come down to how much depth scoring the other team can produce. Look for Chicago to jump on Detroit early in this series, but don’t count the Wings out of it. Series Matchup; 4-0 Chi (3 ended in OT/SO)
5 LA v 6 SJ- San Jose in 6 Cross town rivalry in the playoffs? Sounds like a good matchup. Both are hard hitting teams that aim to grind it out. Niemi has shown better stats during the course of the season, but Quick has had great playoff numbers of his own. Defending Cup champs have a lot on the line, but look for the Sharks to end it in their own home ice, as the Sharks have only lost twice in regulation at home. Series Matchup 2-2
East
1 Pit v 7 Ott Ottawa in 5 Stick it to me, but there’s an extremely slim chance that kind of production on offense will continue for the Pens in the second round. It’s an offense verse defense matchup, as Craig Anderson’s hot hand looks to stop Crosby, Malkin and Co. in the semi finals. Ottawa tore up Montreal in 5, so why can’t they do the same against Pittsburgh? Goalie situation is still cloudy for the Pens, and could play a big factor this series Series Matchup 3-0 Pit
4 Bos v 6 NYR New York in 7 Seems like I’m going for all the upsets, but Boston blew a 3-1 series lead, and then all hope was almost lost before the Bruins mounted a 3 goal comeback in the 3rd. Lundqvist is coming off back to back shutouts, but Boston’s offense is much better in 7 games than the Rangers. Should be a tight checking, hard hitting match, but Rangers should prevail on solid goaltending from the King, as he has a 1.65GAA through the first round. Series Matchup 2-1 NYR
