Ray Lewis' pregame speech

The U guys sure stick together. Gotta respect that.

they are like family for sure.. from the looks of it last nights game the ravens certainly outplayed the pats but we know the rest......

Sorry to say it, but I see a complete flat team this week. I think the Bears beat them easily and the skins come out lifeless. Playoffs are shot, momentum is shot, and the team, it appears, did not even ask to move this game back, which would have been sensible. The crowd will be miniscule. This season cannot end fast enough. Take the Bears, give the points.

The only thing I would look less forward to than going to this game is having to hear Bryant Gumble narrate it.

That's the way I understood it too. The announcers never talked about but I am pretty sure during the Skins game after Joe called the 2nd TO that those commentators said only the Head coach and the players on the field can call a TO.

I dont even think the ref even looked over to see who called it either, he was watching the line and just blew his whistle when someone came up screaming for a timeout. You would think that if it was only allowed to be a head coach he would have at least glanced over at who was calling for it.

Ya I'm not a huge Ray Lewis fan because he did murder someone but there was a shot of him crying before the game about sean taylor and he had a hell of a game so I respect him for that.

When did he murder someone? I think the media mislead a few people on his case. Just in the same way they did with sean's case.

I thought only the head coach could call timeout, not any assistant coach

Peter King addressed that today on SI.com...The head coach is responsible for his sideline so even though the head coach is supposed to be the one to call the TO it's not up to the official to determine if the TO is coming from the Head Coach or not. Basically the NFL's stance is it's like tough sh*t Billick keep your assistants in line...

He was accessory after the fact for not fully cooperating with the cops. I'm not thebiggest Ray Lewis fan, but does anyone really trust a cop anymore?

Which is exactly what I've always thought all along.

That speech by Ray Lewis was very touching, all 3 of them played their hearts out just like Sean. Its a shame Rex Ryan called that stupid timeout and the refs gave the game 2 the Pathetics

ravens beat themselves. undisciplined, manhandled the WRs all game (ie, tackling them mid route without the ball in the air). They got away with enough stuff that they really shouldn't be whining so much about the refs.

that D did play really really well besides the penalties though. even kyle boller looked good.

I was under that assumption too, but ESPN clearly highlighted Rex Ryan calling the timeout during that 4th & 1 play.

And Lewis' comments were touching. The entire Ravens team played out of their minds last night. They had me glued to the TV, watching two teams that I despise, until the very end...


First time I actually found myself cheering for the Ravens. I mean, it was actually a football game where guys actually hit each other and got pissed off. Good stuff.
