Why does Ray Lewis get a free pass?

[Taylor 36]

I would consider someone ending up dead a big deal and at the least being part of an (ongoing) conspiracy to cover up the person or persons responsible to be more than **** happens.

I'm so glad there are others that don't piss on human life just because it happened to end at the hand of a guy who can play a game well. It is disgusting how pathetic some people can be with their views on life. **** happens? I'm sure if that poster's family members were murdered and had a famous athlete be part of the situation, he would be okay with that athlete walking and the courts telling him, "it's okay, **** happens." And then, that poster, I'm sure, would feel at peace when millions of people start worshiping said murdering athlete because of his holier than thou showmanship and egotistical, self-attention whoring on and off the field. ****ing disgusting.

Great post. Completely agree. I wanted to respond to the other poster's post myself, but didn't want to risk being banned.

LOL I know what you mean. I had to delete/change some of what I originally wrote before I hit post. I've gotten in trouble before for posting in anger. Two things that really boil my blood are arrogant people who think they have the right to speak for everyone else or know better than others, and people who are so dismissive of life and justice. That poster hit both of those in this thread. But, I do stand by my point in that post of how that poster would feel/react if it was a memeber of his family that had been murdered.

You are still being nicer than I want to be. I bowed out of this thread for the most part a while ago....its just too upsetting to see what some people think is just no big deal.

I still don't have a clear picture of what happened. You are more than happy to assume any question marks in the case are evidence of Ray's guilt. In your mind he left drenched in blood and then pulled a "usual suspects" style cover up. Can anyone in this thread even say how many people were involved in the brawl and were their two sides, Rays people versus others, or a larger chaotic fight?

You do know there is such a thing as "solo" tackles that the NFL has as a stat? Well, he has 44 of those in the NFL playoffs, 18 more than any other player.

To be fair, his team has played in 3 games in this postseason, which is 1 more than any other team (all of the other teams to appear in CCGs had 1st-rd byes).

True. But he's still averaging nearly 15 tackles a game. Pretty impressive.

And the Ravens defense has only surrendered 43 points (Denver had two special teams scores).

I can't stand Ray, though, so I hope they give up 43 (or more) to the Niners this weekend.

Bias, bitterness, pretentiousness, cynicism and **** envy. Those are my opinions of what's in this thread. Ray Lewis hasn't gotten a pass. There have been people, like in this thread, trying to tear him down since the day that incident occurred over 12 years ago. He has simply made up his mind to continue to succeed and achieve greater despite those ongoing efforts.

[Reaper 21]

Rotoworld saying ray ray might be in trouble with banned substances to help him recover from his injury uh oh.

[Fight4RGIII]

The Deer Antler stuff must keep his pain at bay, through his facemask...HE IS BANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DM72]

Even though he's denying it, I believe he took the stuff.

Read this. Ray obviously used this eer antler spray but he'll get a pass because he is Ray Lewis and his story is good for the NFL.

"In a story that includes the phrase "he asks between squirts of deer antler," Sports Illustrated brings the fascinating story of two men aggressively marketing a line of health care supplements -- hologram stickers, the aforementioned deer antler spray, powders, underwear drenched in liquid (seriously) -- to college and pro athletes.

The company's name explains the concept: S.W.A.T.S., which stands for Sports with Alternatives to Steroids.

At the center of the story is none other than Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who is in New Orleans preparing to play the final game of his NFL career on Sunday. It is not coincidental that this story dropped on the day of Super Bowl Media Day."

Honestly, I hope the guy gets suspended...I am sick an tired of people praising this guy as a hero and a model citizen.

[Destino]

Deer antler spray? I'd think that the reason Ray never tested positive is because that's snake oil nonsense that doesn't actually do what this sports medicine witch doctor claims that it does. That or he's just making this crap up to get free publicity for his voodoo shop.

[SteveFromYellowstone]

Yeah it sounds wacky but if it contains a banned substance I think it's fair game.
