I live about 15 minutes outside Baltimore. Having the Ravens win the superbowl this year was a thrill to say he least. If you are a Ravens fan, let's use this forum as a way to honor and critique what is right and wrong about football with special focus on the Ravens.

Baltimore Loves Ray Lewis!!!! and Joe Flacco.... and Ed Reed........and
 
I have to say, the more Ray Lewis hype there was surrounding the Ravens, the more I rooted against them in the playoffs. Not to mention that plenty of the people I know who are Ravens fans are actually faithless bandwagoner Redskins fans who jumped ship. Also I really really like the Niners, so I was pretty pissed when they lost.
 
The win was so sweet. Everyone picked against them throughout the playoffs, they beat the best teams in the league and Flacco, hopefully, put to rest questions about his ability in games that matter. They played like Ravens.

I am so happy for the veterns like Boldin, Birk, and Reed to finally get the chance to be the Champs. They earned it.

just hope we will not be subjected to any more interviews with that extremely stupid ray lewis
any further discussion by the media with him should only be about the atlanta murders and his participation in them

Obviously there was nothing to link him to the murders, the feds don't drop charges on the highest profile person if there is the slightest bit of evidence against them. He gave the Feds everything they asked for with his testimony.

The problem most people have with Lewis is they don't know him. He does a lot for the community,from publicized things like fitness training with kids and cops to spending 1 on 1 time with inmates trying to get them to change their lives or growing a friendship with a 70 year disabled white guy. He is emotional and vocal and passionate but it's real. It's who he is. If he didn't play for my team I'd probably hated him too but he's the real deal when it comes to caring about and giving back to the community.

Ok so there was no evidence to link him to anything. What's the differance? There was no evidence to link me to the murders either, wouldn't I be ok saying there was nothing to link me to the murders? ;)

what i notice, when asked about it lately, he ducks the questions and insists that G-d would not bless someone who engaged in such behavior with the success he has had in his sport
while i always believed he was guilty (like oj) i never spoke out about it ... until he started using G-d's failure to make him unsuccessful as his defense

I think he is bothered by what happened that night and doesn't want to talk about it to the entire world. I think he was at the wrong place at the wrong time and was part of a tragedy. That doesn't mean he had anything to do with it. Like he has said he has to live with what happened every day of is life, just like the families of the victims and those who stand accused of murder. That part is between him and him. He'll never convince everyone he had nothing to do with it so why try. I agree with him about that.

But he was one hell of a ballplayer and I'm glad I got to see him play for so long. There won't be many more like him.

we can only hope
 
I am just thankful the Ray Lewis retirement tour is over.

I think Flacco is a far better quarterback than he gets credit for.

I'm just glad we won't have to watch those thugs and that rat Ray Lewis, who went states evidence to avioda murder rap, on television any more.

Rumor is their championship rings will be a pair of handcuffs..............
 
Heebie Jeebie: I agree with you that people who do not know him and don't like him, in my opinion, are jealous of Ray Lewis. EVERYONE in Baltimore loves him. Even the republicans. He will not go away, and the rest of the country will soon see of what he is made. No doubt he will do his part in helping this country progress.

I'm guessing those who can find no forgiveness are the ones who think they are the true christians.
 
In the original post I requested that "if you are a Ravens Fan" to comment. You do not necessarily have to be a Ravens Fan, but if all you want to do is trash Ray Lewis, please just go away.
 
I like Flacco.

Agree with your first statement. I think Flacco is a good but not elite quarterback who was on a hot streak, but who will probably end up getting paid like an elite quarterback anyway.

Anyone who was at the parade saw how much the fans love their team and how much the team loves the city and the fans. Heck the team was recording the fans as they walked out to the stage at M&T. It was just incredible.
 
mak2: I did not say you are not a christian if you do not like Ray Lewis.

To Be Clear: This is not a Ray Lewis bashing thread. True christians forgive.
 
Yes Heebie Jeebie: The whole team loves the fans. The whole team also holds Ray Lewis in very high regard. As I said, the green monster of jealousy makes for a very disturbed mind.
 
I don't like the Ravens because i'm a Steelers fan. But I pulled for the Raves because I can't stand the 49ers or those " COW'SBOYS. " I won't my Steelers to win # 7,before they win a 6th championship's.:lamo
