What’s next? A-Rod preaching to us about the dangers of steroids? Kobe Bryant telling us we should all respect women just a little bit more? (You can practically see the televised advertising campaign, no? A smug looking Kobe sneering out of the corner of his mouth ‘’Hey kids, we should all respect women a bit more, if they say no, they mean no, and that’s a smooth groove Kobe can dig!’’ No doubt Spike Lee is already lined up to direct, the only caveat being he will have to remove his nose from Kobe’s backside in time to start the cameras rolling)
Back when he was bitter, angry and funny, Dennis Leary had a great sketch where he laughed at Rolling Stone Keith Richards fronting a drugs awareness campaign. And I quote, ‘Keith, we can’t do any drugs, you took them all!’. Well Ray Lewis lecturing us on crime rates is right along the same lines as Keith Richards telling people to put the hash pipe down.
Through s$me mag$c trick$ry Ray Lewis has managed to distance himself from that whole, you know, ‘murder’ thing he was embroiled in a few years ago, however you would imagine he might keep a low profile, at least when discussing crime figures, in its aftermath. Apparently not. Lewis seems to almost be taunting those of us who aren’t blindly emptying our wallets, bank accounts and piggy banks into the coffers of whatever church is promising the next concurrent Rapture into looking up for a second and yelping ‘Wait a second, isn’t Ray Lewis the guy who paid off a stack of people to tip toe out of a murder rap?’

They are one of the best defenses of all time as well. I think Baltimore because in 2000, offenses were expanded more. Through the pass and creativity. Also, that defense did not have any glaring weaknesses and were not only big and physical, but extremely aggressive and fast. Also, since 93, this has been the free agency era. It's so tough to assemble a D and keep them together, which is a part of why Pitt's D was dominant in the 70's. BAL could've been like that if not for FA.
