Well, that and an uncalled helmet to helmet on 3rd down that should’ve been an automatic first and the subsequent no call on the DPI on 4th during the final 49ers drive.

And no, i’m not a 49ers fan.

Regardless of what ALL of u hater’s gotta say:

Ray Lewis is a part of NFL football history. Last night was epic for Lewis & the Rayvens. Not many player’s play for 1 organization their entire career, but Ray did. He was the vocal leader of this team since day 1.
He’s easily a 1st ballot Hall of Famer, & he went out on TOP. It doesn’t get any better than that. Kudos to one of, if not the greatest LB to ever play the game of football.

Rise UP Baltimore,
You guys are the “2013 NFL World Champions”

However, I do not believe his emotions are fake and I do not believe there is anything wrong with talking about God. That is the same criticism people have about Tim Tebow. Being a Christian I feel God is lost in this world. Also there is nothing wrong with a man talking about love. That is nice. If the reason everyone is angry is because of what happened 12 years ago, I can understand that. I am confused by that because part of me says he could have changed his life around and part of me does not know. I would like more details about what happened. If love helped the Ravens that is good. I see nothing wrong with that. If Ray really did murder anyone that is up to the justice system to take care of. and of course if he did, that is wrong and horrible and yes justice should be done, but do we really know what happened? I know I do not. I need more information before I can even offer an informed opinion.

Tired of hearing week in and week out about the biggest self-promoting drama queen to hit the NFL since Terrell Owens. This man had no class and has always was all about one person. Ray Lewis. I, for one, will not watch ESPN when he’s on. Hard to believe they really think a man who was part of trying to coverup a murder would allow them on TV.

Can we finally be done with this egomaniac?

Now go back to making snide comments about things you know nothing about.

He was still above-average this season, despite being pretty old.

He was extremely overdramatic this offseason, to the point that he annoyed most neutral fans. His constant assertions that somehow God was behind the Ravens over every other team came off as foolish. He may or may not have used a weird spray to help him recover from injury. He was a liability in pass coverage vs. the 49ers. He probably fake cried a number of times. Despite having a bad game he was the first Raven on the Super Bowl winners podium.

But guess what, in a few years, none of this is going to matter. Everyone will forget this silliness at the end, and just remember him as one of the best defenders to ever suit up.

It happens with many all-time greats. Remember how everyone hated Favre? That’s already starting to fade.

BTW, Ray Ray may leave a champion but he had very little to do with that result last night. They were running over and by him all game long. And now he gets to cement his legacy by moving to ESPN, that national bastion of sporting irrelevance.

He’s a 2 time World Champ. You post rhetoric on the internet.

That pretty much says it all.

It’s too bad London Fletcher can’t hold a candle to Ray lewis.

What?

Look up their career stats side by side. I give Lewis a slight edge. But can’t hold a candle? You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.

i remember several weeks back reading an article on this site that was explaining how ray had lost more than a step and his return to the field wouldn’t mean much to the ravens defense.

sometimes we underestimate the power of the will and how much intangibles can effect the outcome of athletic events.
