Thats one monkey off the Steelers back.
He was a great player. I hated watching Pittsburgh play against him. 
Hope he enjoys retirement. He can watch his kid play, and he can get into coaching/analyst.

Hmmm...Ray in a Steelers uniform.  |
No way that happens. Ray wouldnt do that to Baltimore. Plus why would he leave? He is the best LB they have. |
This guy says hi. |
Ray Lewis is still playing at an extremely high level... I'd still take Lewis.

Ray Ray is possibly the GOAT at his position. He's not a guy that I see flip flopping and coming back. Wish him the best!

Really sad to hear that this is his last season, especially because his season has had him injured which has caused him to miss games, and I didnt want to see him go out on a note like this.. the pride that the man has would have made me believe he would come back for one more year so he could go out on a high note/his own terms.
Ray is the GOAT.. very possible that he is the best defensive player in my lifetime/my generation. No question first ballot Hall of Famer 5 years from the second he plays his last game.

I ventured onto some Browns and Steelers boards to see what they had to say.
This was not a good idea.

Such a great player.
One of those guys when he did decline in some form or fashion ever so slightly, people didn't care because he brought so much more than just his play.
Ray would make a great linebackers coach, in my opinion. But that should be a no-brainer at this point.

Just the truth is being spoken. Great player but should be locked up.
But I would of had him on the Browns in a heart beat.
Yet I don't want Vick for what he did.
Strange....

Why should he be locked up for not ratting on someone else for killing a guy?

Most likely will break forum rules if we talk about it so I'm not going to.
I will leave it at this. He is one of the all time greats and a first ballot HOFer. The NFL is going to feel strange without him.

Multiple sources told SI.com the Ravens linebacker is close to signing a multi-year contract with the network. At ESPN, Lewis is expected to have a significant role on the network's Monday Night Countdown program. As with most ESPN NFL talent, Lewis would also be featured on multiple platforms, including ESPN Radio.
***
One of Lewis' main requirements, according to sources, was flexibility in his schedule so he could attend the games of his son, Ray Lewis III, who will be a freshman running back/defensive back next season at his father's alma mater, the University of Miami. Such scheduling made Lewis an unlikely fit for a full-time role on the Sunday morning shows aired by CBS or Fox where he'd be required to be part of pre-show meetings on either Saturday or early Sunday. |

Wonder if he'll give his fellow staff members motivational speeches before they go on air.

My favorite Ray Lewis myth, "He hasn't been able to cover the last 5 years"
INCORRECT
Since 2008 (age 33 season)
66 Games played
2.17 receptions per game
21.63 yards per game
12.5 YAC per game
4 Total TDs given up
If that is getting "exposed" in coverage well sign me up! |

Without going to deep into it; he got punished for what he did (lying/obstructing). And this happened during the playoffs for 1999 NFL season.
Getting punished for what you actually did + not hearing a peep from you in nearly 15 years = let's drop the subject.
I do think some of the factually inaccurate comments pertaining to the incident (some to an extreme degree) are just people trying to get a rise out of others. At least I hope so, I don't want to think that many people are that unintelligent to look things up for themselves. |
