52 Ray Lewis is the biggest waste of human flesh in the NFL. What a f**king clown and posser. To try to purposely take away a fellow "bro's" right to earn a living? And btw - with his ghetto intellect - how the **** did that piece of **** ever even get to college - albeit thug haven UM? My guess is he couldn't spell college if you spotted him him the first letter and all the vowels! And baltimores deluded whiny fans wonder why bmore's defense will NEVER be considered among the greatest. Could it be that they win thru dirty play? What a crappy example of an NFL team. Memo to the fans: get over your one decent SB season. What have they done in the past nine years? B-more is a 2nd rate team with zero offense and come playoff time Ray will once again be sitting in the strip clubs wallowing in his sad existence of a life. It wouldn't surprise me if he puts paint on that ugly thing he calls a face before making his nightly trips to ho-ville so he can menace the patrons with his idiotic stare. He may get into the HOF (probably by intimidating the voters with the vieled threat of putting a bounty on those who have the nads to NOT make him a 1st ballot inductee) but will never be compared to a truly class act LB both on and off the field like TB's D.Brooks. B-more is at best a 2nd rate minor league town with fans who have an inferiority complex wondering when the moving vans will once again pull up and move this sad excuse of a jail team somewhere else. I would be embarrasesed to have to root for any team that has to try and win by purposely "taking out" other teams players - really sad. 3138570

57 Your comments may have just been the most idiotic comments I have ever seen, and I dumber after reading them. Oh and the Baltimore Def. of 2000 is ranked as maybe the most dominate defense ever!! No one has ever let up fewer points then that Def. Its funny that you want to call Ray a Thug because I???m pretty confident that I could find as you say thugs like Lewis on every team. Also let me know when D.Brooks is a 2 time defensive league MVP and a super bowl MVP. You are just blind to the truth that Ray Lewis is one of the greatest MLB ever. Ask any former NFL player and they will agree. PS- not only did he go to college he has a degree from the university of Maryland.....let me guess Maryland is a school full of thugs and he intimdated them to give him a degree. 3174714

55 My guess......the one's who say Ray should be in jail when clearly he shouldn't are McCain supporters! Just a guess....... Just what we need a bunch of sports lovers thinking they know anything about politics. If it were'nt for George Bush being about as awful a president as we have ever had Obama would not even be in the race. When has someone ever told you they were going to raise taxes to your face. Every other election year that is taboo. This liberal can get away with it because his cronies setup this financial mess and get to blame it on the republicans. You realize fannie mae and freddie mac were setup as another way to redistribute the wealth. 3143300

Actually, Tommy, having not only been to law school but passed the bar and made a career in criminal law, I can tell you that you are wrong. Self-defense is a valid defense.Oh, and impersonating an attorney could be a serious offense, so be careful with your dispensing of layman's legal "knowledge." Especially since you're wrong.

47 Ministr Wow, you thought he was impersonating a lawyer? So he was acting like you act then? Speaking like you speak? Conjecturing like you conjecture? I have some non-legal advice for you: we the people own the law, not lawyers. 3136524

54 Too funny, #12 post is still getting bashed 3 pages later......I wonder how a lawyer gets through a day, seeing misrepresntation at every turn, questioning everone's intent? Life is hard, get a helmet not a lawyer. 3141804

50 Terrell Thuggs is a moron and a thug. He does his radio show in a pub near me. He wrote "Respect Mines" on an autograph board there, whatever that means. Ray Lewis was lucky to stay out of jail in Atlanta. His fur coat and cream colored suit went the same place as OJ's clothes that Kardashian dumped. He is still a self promoting crotch grabbing thug. Oh and Mr. Timmers, excessive use of force in self defense would cover the Lewis, Oakley, Sweeting murders. You can't kill someone over a punch and get away with it, At least Rae Carruth wasn't a Raven. 3137441

49 What...just kills dogs...you are a moron! You say something halfway intelligent and then you blow it. The Ravens should try and focus on winning for a change. They suck and Lewis is overrated. Bmore deserves better. 3137009

Former Ravens coach Brian Billick said Suggs never should have made the bounty public. From <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/danpatrick/blog/16942/index.html" target="_blank">DanPatrick.com</a>: <blockquote> Billick says there is a defensive mentality to go after players and knock them out of the game. Billick says every team does things like bounties in their locker room. They just should never talk about it publicly. Billick thought that's where the mistake was. Billick did say, however, players don't want to end the career of anyone. Not at all. Dan asked Billick how he would have dealt with Terrell Suggs' comments about the Ravens going after Hines Ward and Rashard Mendenhall. Billick said he would have sat him down --- as he had done when he was his coach -- and asked him what he was trying to achieve by talking publicly about that kind of stuff. Billick also commented on the Ray Lewis hit that took out Mendnehall. He said it was a clean hit. Same with the famous Lawrence Taylor hit on Joe Theismann. But Lewis shouldn't have been talking about it to people who don't have a context for it. </blockquote> • Billick: Players should keep quiet (<a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/danpatrick/blog/16942/index.html" target="_blank">DanPatrick.com</a>) 17001
