This is terrible.
McClain was in the process of selling the home and thankfully no one was in the home when the fire started around 6pm.

McClain who has had trouble in the law and retired twice from the NFL, has been nothing but a model citizen with the Cowboys and the anchor of their defense all year.
McClain is one of the reasons they Cowboys were able to overcome the loss of Sean Lee and has become a critical piece in their Super Bowl efforts. No word on if the fire was an accident or set on purpose. Police are on the scene.
