08:39 PM ET 01.21 | Michael Phelps is without a doubt one of the greatest Olympians ever, but he would have never competed in the 2012 London Olympics had it not been for Ray Lewis' words of encouragement. Phelps was present for the Ravens AFC Championship win over the New England Patriots on Sunday, and afterwords said that had it not been for Ray Lewis serving as such an inspiration to him, he may not have competed in London and may never have broken the medal record he owns today. Phelps is a Baltimore native, so it's easy to see why Lewis was his inspiration. But Ravens fan or not, wasn't yesterday awkward enough when it came to Ray Lewis, to then all of a sudden have Michael Phelps show up and fawn over how much of an inspiration Lewis is to humanity?

While I personally agree with Steven Hawking view that all religions are merely fairy tales for children who are afraid of the dark, I don't deny anyone's right to feel differently. If Ray has experienced some form of "enlightenment" and it is helping him live his life, well fair enough. The excessive public displays are not to my taste but again that's what freedom is all about

"Murderer"? "Drugs?"
My My My...I guess someone lives in a glass house. He has never accused of being the murderer and if you think smoking weed is being on drugs then...SMH
