Ray Lewis To Retire at End of Ravens Post-Season
 

Just reported. Goes without saying the most intense football player of our time. Perhaps the best to ever play the position.

First ballot.

That's fine, we can put the attention back to the games in the WC thread

BREAKING: Tony Romo sent Ray Lewis a retirement gift but it was unfortunately intercepted once again by a Redskins defender.

:lol:

He was no LT.

IS it just me or should he had waited until the end of the Raven's season vs. creating some drama in the middle of a playoff week?

Any who great career but good riddance, personally never liked the guy.

They didn't play the same spot at LB.

Lewis is definitely one of the top MLBs of all time.

LT changed the position. He was transformational in his own right. LT changed the way players today are drafted. Apples and oranges, but I get your point.

Could end up inspiring them more than anything. Want to send out Ray with a ring, similar to Jerome Bettis, Strahan (even though Ray already has a ring).

Ever see his Football Life episode on NFLN?

As much as I wanted to hate the guy, I always found it hard to considering his passion for the game. He did things the right way.

Outside of his off the field issue (in Atlanta I believe?) I really have no problem with Ray Ray. The guy is definitely a leader within the Ravens, Baltimore won't be the same without him.

re: Ray Lewis To Retire at End of Ravens Post-Season
 

I feel honored and grateful to have witnessed the career of one of the best to ever play MLB. Good luck Mr. Lewis as you sojourn through life.

I also feel grateful that we are not playing the Ravens this week. Those boys will be fired up on his behalf.

re: Ray Lewis To Retire at End of Ravens Post-Season
 

Great player, definitely will be watching Baltimore Indy this weekend to hear the home crowds response to Ray.

Watch the Football Life of Ray Lewis; Shows how great of a guy he was on and off the field.

That's on again tonight right? It's actually the one I haven't seen yet

I thought it was very interesting to find out a couple of years back that after every home game he drives through some of Baltimore's worst neighborhoods and spends time talking to the residents
