    Lewis Takes Deer Stuff?

    Maybe it keeps the hunters away...you know, the drive-by guys.

    I think it is self-delusion to think that every NFL player doesn't take any advantage he can to play better and longer.

    I'm not condoning it, but let's be honest, if instead of these speedy high scoring monster teams of today, we instead had to watch the 1965 NFL level play, there wouldn't be nearly the interest.

    Fan taste for blood and excitement drives this as much as money and ego do.

    Lewis is a very popular guy, Both famous and infamous. When one is in the public eye, a lot more stories are going to be started. I don't know what the guy is like in person, but he was a great player to watch.

    Quote from "the Little Criminal" "I passed every drug test". Whoopee- so did Lance Armstrong. If you weren't Ray Lewis, they'd kick your azz out of the Super Bowl I guarantee it.

    First off, no they wouldn't. While the NFL has shown that it will suspend people with out physical evidence (eg, Bounty Gate) the NFL has shown that they WILL NOT suspend someone for breaking the performance enhancing drug policy without a positive test. He could have been the 53rd man on the roster and he would still be playing.

    Secondly I personally find it stupid that the NFL can suspend someone for using a product that you can literally walk into a nutrition store and buy like any other product. While a lot of guys that we see do get banned for Aderal and HGH, about half of the guys who do get suspended do so because they take a product that cost 30 bunch a tub and any person who works out can go and buy. I used to use a pre workout when I lifted that really wasn't any different that any other preworkout that I could buy except for some added protein and it is on the NFL's banned substance list. It's legal for any 18 year old college student to buy but it's a no no for football players. Doesn't make sense to me.

  • Ray Lewis is a thug, Who has gotten away far too long,and... Im happy to see his world, potentially become torn apart.

    Doesn't matter if it makes sense to you or not. The fact of the matter is these guys are paid a lot of money. They know the rules and the consequences of breaking them.

  • Here's a question: Will the Pro Football writers refuse to induct a player into the HOF for being suspected of using PEDs the way the Baseball writers do?

    I mean, if Mark McGuire/Barry Bonds/Roger Clemens etc. ain't in their HOF (and, I believe that none of them ever failed a PED test) should Ray Lewis, et al be allowed in?

    (and I don't think there has probably been a Tour de France won by any cyclist in 30 years that wasn't dirty)

    Ok they are paid a lot of money. They also know what kind of drug testing is done (piss) and what they can get away with taking with that test. The type of substance used can only be found by doing a blood test. So am I supposed to be mad that guys are using something on a banned list when the NFL doesn't use a test that could detect it? Nope. That's the NFLs fault for not getting different testing procedures in the CBA.

  • I don't think this one was shared yet, a personal favorite of mine.

    Yes. I guess honesty and integrity don't matter. It's just getting over on the test that matters.

    Honesty and integrity? That doesn't exist much in the NFL. It would be great if their was, if it was much more like it was 30 years ago, but the NFL is filled with people who do anything they can to win. Some of it is illegal, drugs and cheating, but a lot of it is out in the light of day and it is not only visibly but it is applauded. Players getting cut without their money guaranteed, management constantly lying to players, constantly lying to fans, I mean how often have we heard these billion dollar owners say they are not making enough money just to raise ticket prices and sell a $9 dollar beers. When I want to see honesty and integrity I'll look to my preacher, seems to be the only one in this day and age that fits those two bills.

  • Ray Lewis was a good linebacker. Most of his influence on games really came down to inspiring his team to play above and beyond what they were capable of. His pregame antics are legendary and his level of heart would be appreciated in an orange helmet.

    But, will I be sad? Hell no. Congrats and good riddence, maybe we can finally win a game.

    yeah. really?

    can the mods set up a 5 star rating system where each poster gets a vote when their view is popular and a minus vote when unpopular?

    the same people that bitch about some posters being this and that are the same people that think that society is wrong or 'this or that'.

    OMG (really?) this guy sucks because he thinks like this...or this guy thinks like this and he's the shit!! LIKE ME!! FOLLOW ME!! SHARE ME!!

    we all know by now how each one of us 'regulars' feel.....

    harry buffallo always has to be serious. no laughs. same with a bunch of old walking on egg shell motherfuckers. are you serious? who cares? so you know a lot about football. does that mean the rest of us have to sit on our hands?

  • The worst part about Stabb retiring is that now he'll be picked up by a major network and we'll have to see him every time a football game is aired.

    Oh shit, I didn't even think of that.

    If he and Shannon Sharpe are on the same show it would turn me off for life. I can barely handle Sharpe now.
