"Do this research if we don’t have a season — watch how much evil, which we call crime, watch how much crime picks up if you take away our game,” Lewis said.

Is he saying that all the criminals in Baltimore attend Ravens games? If that is the case, arrest everyone at the game, that should end crime in Baltimore.

I believe almost all criminals sit and chatter over NFL football....throughout the season....that’s their major passion in life after crime.

Every person should be lucky enough to find someone in their life that loves them as much as Ray Lewis loves Ray Lewis.

Why society doesn't tap into the wisdom of Ray Lewis more is beyond me and probably racist.

The murder rate in Ray Lewis’ area dropped whenever he was too busy playing football to kill anyone.

My sister went to school in Baltimore and most of her friends got mugged. She was lucky though.

I believe Ray is a something of a Trump supporter.

It dropped in Baltimore!? It definitely went up in Atlanta.

I like Ray Lewis. He’s come a long way since his early playing days. But when I watch Inside the NFL and he’s talking I often don’t understand the point he is trying to make. And I think Boomer Esiason and Phil Simms are afraid of him.
