Ray Lewis statue in plans

I wonder how many discarded knives will "accidentally" surround it?

Will it stand there and do nothing?

Man, when hyperbole gathers momentum, it becomes a runaway train.

It's not exactly the same thing, of course, but I reckon folks in Baltimore must have a different outlook on statues of their football heroes than their neighbors to the North.

Dr Bob, what statue do you know of that does other than stand there and do nothing?

I just don't get the adulation of this guy. If he would have been drafted by teh Packers and that happened, he would have been sent packing. James Lofton was one of the best receivers in the game when he was sent packing for a rape accusation. And Ray Lewis is embraced. Makes no sense to me at all.

Ray Lewis has a waaaaaaaaaay better Thuglic Relations team in place.

Don't kid yourself, Ray Lewis's name was on the card in '96 when Baltimore's pick was turned in at the last moment and the Packers kept Wayne Simmons around even though he was bangin' high school girls at his alma mater, possibly against her will.

The Pack kept around a (supposedly) terrible LB this season who was accused of domestic assault.

Uhh, so I guess the answer is "yes"?

This is really disturbing when you think about it. Ray is a phony

Hiring a street performer to knife people.

I hope they go with a Chuck E. Cheese style statue instead.

Maybe they could melt the statue of Papa Joe and use the metal for Lewis' statue.

Ask yourself this, what did Ray Lewis say he did at the murder scene?

The Ravens heard what GB was doing for DD. What no street?

"Ray Road" sounded to close to "Rail Road" so they decided not to.

I was thinking Ray "Myway or the Highway" Lewis

Ray Lewis Bypass?

Ray has earned the right to live in green bay long enough to catch a glimpse of the Ray N. bridge.

I read somewhere in Super Bowl week that Ray Lewis was coveted by the Packers on draft day but that Baltimore took him one pick before...True?

true... but I think covet is too strong a word. he was on the chart but went before they could pick.

I'm glad it didn't come to that, but Ron Wolf knew what he was doing.

And then Ron Wolf jumped his board and took Jon Michels over Tony Brackens.

True. Wolf really wanted Ray Lewis, Baltimore got him 1 slot before us, then Wolf jumped the board & reached for Michaels.

Uncle Ted has learned well. DO NOT JUMP YOUR DRAFT BOARD!

In fact he traded down TWICE & still got Jordy Nelson. Ted knows exactly what he is doing & is extremely calm & level headed during the draft. He thanks teams like Seattle for drafting James Carpenter or the Vikings drafting Ponder or the Titans drafting Locker.

People at RCMH almost always groan when TT selects someone because they know it's a good pick (like Randall Cobb or Clay Matthews for instance)

Boris, I think you might have made Ted blush for the first time in his life.

Steeley-eyed assassin.

I do not exactly agree, but THAT was funny!

 

The statue of Ray Lewis was unveiled outside M&T Bank Stadium on Thursday morning

 

Punch Bundtsteak did the unveiling.
