Non Steeler Related - Ray Lewis announces his retirement

Apparently ESPN is going to hire Lewis as soon as the season is over. Just saw it come through on Twitter but ESPN isn't commenting yet.

Ray was great in his time, but I think for the past few years he has been a figurehead who is a liability in pass coverage. I think it would be great to see him sent out to pasture by the same team that left Baltimore in the middle of the night. If this were to occur in front of his home crowd, it would be priceless poetic justice. Must see TV.

lewis has been the face of there franchise since they moved to baltimore. wont be the same not seeing lewis out there.

I agree with this. When I think Ravens, I think Ray Lewis. The rivalry just doesn't seem right without Ray.

As a Steelers fan, F- Ray Lewis.

As a football fan, I can say I have had the privelege of watching the greatest INSIDE LINEBACKER in NFL history.

Ed Reed is likely next.

I remember when they interviewed Lewis before a game against the Steelers in 2009. This was a year after we won the SB. He was disrespectinv the Steelers right and left. He gave the Steelers no respect as SB champs...

I remember when Ben lit Lewis' defense up for 5 TDs in a half and he was bragging that the "Steelers couldn't run on us".

My OPINION IS THAT he had along career and was a good player for a long time but to me two things stand out is 1- the true legends don't get charged with Murder if my memory serves me right he took a plea to a lesser charge an innocent man doesn't plead and 2 true legends don't hang around 5 years too long. Many people give Ben SHIT for what that college student alleged but he was never charged LEWIS WAS!!!!!

I agree. Tired of people paying homage to this guy. He's a thug. Great football player, yes. But so was o.j. Not a great person. Greatest lb of all time? Hardly. I would take LT over ray ray.
