He was never tried for murder. He plead out for an obstruction of justice charge (which is a misdemeanor) in return for testifying against the two other members of his posse, which he did. Both were, however, acquitted of all charges and I believe it wasn't even close. The prosecution had a terrible case and was extremely sloppy.

Just don't cross him or else he'll have two of his posse stab you to death. Otherwise, yeah, he's a stand up fellow.

I KNOW! It takes so much of the positive energy away from Roethlesberger, and the guys who keep killing people drunk driving, and Favre and his artistic tweeting adventures...

Not saying idol-worship is bad, just hoping people look at their "idol" in full light.

I hope the Pats blow them out and he limps off the file crying at halftime. Scotty is the only thug I support.

I have to decide between Ray Lewis and Tom Brady next weekend.

Who do I root for?

I think I will just root for the NFC.

I saw this comment in that article posted about Ray Lewis earlier in this thread. Not quoted but a paraphrase.

Casey Anthony and Ray Lewis were both convicted for very similar charges. Pretty amazing how differently the nation views one versus the other.

I know the cases were way different scenario's but thought it was an interesting comeback to those who say Ray did nothing wrong and was never convicted of murder.

Than there was this comment that I thought was funny.

His final stats: 6 kids with 4 women, 2 dead bodies, 1 conviction related to the murder, 2 out of court settlements and 1 missing blood stained white suit.

OP has been watching the media propaganda machine a little too much. Maybe he's just too young to remember the Ray Lewis murders.

Agree, back away from ESPN.

I'm pretty sure the media only treats Ray kindly because they are worried that he will murder them if they don't...

It's amazing what the PR machines of the NFL, Ravens, and ESPN have done to this guys image. There are people who were convicted of less than him or nothing at all that are considered cancers to their sport in the public eye.

I for one will be very happy to not have to see that stupid dance of his ever again.

One thing that was brought up in an article I read was that Ray Lewis is a lock for Canton in 5 years. The two men that were murdered are buried only 20 miles away from Canton. Will their families and friends stage a protest at his induction.

I don't want him to go out on top either. It will be really crappy if he makes it to, or wins, the Super Bowl this year.

I will not watch TV for 6 months if the Ravens win the super bowl due to the giant circle jerk for Ray Lewis it will turn in to. The win will get accredited to his leadership etc. regardless of how replaceable he is as a player at this stage in his career and how good the rest of the team has become. The Ravens OL is VERY GOOD and can control the tempo of games but it will all get accredited to Ray and the D if they win.

I'm not a Patriots hater as I think what that organization has done since 2000 is amazing so I am hoping for the Pats to hang about 50 on the Ravens D.

It's also because Ray will be in the media immediately after he retires ala Cris Carter, Keyshawn, Marino, etc.
Ray has a big personality, and he will be on TV (unfortunately).

You don't expect Patriots, or Falcons, or 49ers fans to feel this way, do you? I belong to one of those three groups, and I'd prefer my team to win the ultimate pro game.

I know and agree its unfortunate. His contract with ESPN just means that all my NFL game day shows will now be Fox or NFL network (although NFL network was part of the Ray Lewis sunshine PR machine).
