I'm heartbroken. He's done so much for Baltimore. What a loss, but his decision to retire to watch his son play football in college and spend time with his family is respectable. He'll continue to do great things off the field. It's crazy to think the Ravens have never existed without him.

It was a long time ago, and he is responsible for so much good in Baltimore in the past decade or so. There's no replacing him, ever. _________________ Play like a Raven!

Nor did any of us who appreciated Lewis' play on the field and attempts to change himself off of it. So those of you who want to be sanctimonious blowhards over Lewis' retirement, feel free... just quit telling the rest us how to remember him. _________________ Okay, so maybe that pass rush is still an issue.

People can change, and I really have believed that Lewis's personae now is more than just an act. I know I'll remember him more for his murders on the field than the alleged one off it.

Ravens' Lewis set to join ESPN in retirement
ESPN is on the verge of adding Ray Lewis to its talent lineup, Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated reports.
Multiple sources have said 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.
No formal announcement from Lewis or the network is expected until the conclusion of the Ravens season. Lewis announced Wednesday that he planned to retire at the end of Baltimore's season. The Ravens host the Colts on Sunday in the AFC WIld Card round.
An ESPN spokesperson declined comment when contacted Thursday morning.
Ray Lewis to sign with ESPN_________________  "Pray to the LORD now...Seattle are a bunch of heathen atheist Canadians." NFL GM: "How do you stop a Seahawk? Take away his doctor's prescription pad."”

Article done by Ashley Fox on Ray Lewis complicated legacy. Some of the same debate seen in the two posts here in the NFL Forum. _________________ "Pray to the LORD now...Seattle are a bunch of heathen atheist Canadians." NFL GM: "How do you stop a Seahawk? Take away his doctor's prescription pad."”
