    Your statement is pointless. The two played in different eras. Every sport evolves and new technologies and techniques are available as time goes on. If Jim Brown (or any other past star athlete) played today, they could be even better than they were back then...

  • Say what you want, but EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU WOULD LOVE TO HAVE RAY LEWIS ON THE CLEVELAND BROWNS. Top 5 Linebacker of all time!!!!

    Was that a pun? I have lived to see this many times, and regardless of the team, when a top athlete reaches the end of the road it is a bit melancholy, even sad. With that retirement comes a realization in teh fan that " holy shit, has it been that long? Where has the time gone? He would hav"

    Do you think he was tougher than Sam Huff?

    How about this: List your picks for the top 5-10 MLBs in history (usually in the traditional 4-3 but not necessarily) Who would be on it? Try this list, in no particular order:

    Butkus

    Nietschke

    Lambert

    Singletary

    Ray Lewis

    Sam Huff

    Mike Curtis

    Tommy Nobis

    Chuck Bednarik

    Willie Lanier

    Nick Buonticonti

    Joe Schmidt

    Chris Spielman

    Randy Gradishar

    Harry Carson I believe would be in at the 3-4.

    Today, is it fair to say that Patrick Willis is the top MLB in the game?

  • Way to grab the spotlight away, Ray, from your team as they prepare for a playoff game you won't be

    competing in. Look at me! Look at me... says the sociopathic narccisist. No doubt he was a

    force on the field, but I have absolutely no respect for him.

    I would rank Lewis the best, but in answer to the other poster ... NO I would not have wanted him on the Browns, not after January 31, 2000.

    1. Lewis

    2. Butkus in his prime

    3. Singletery

    4. Nitchke

    5. Bednarik

    I'm not one to hate on a person's skills even with a rival team. Ray Lewis is clearly one of the best LB's to ever play the game. But the bottom line is in 2000 he either committed or watched a double murder take place and covered it all up. He "lost" the suit he was wearing that night and testified against his friends once he was facing heat of taking a murder charge. People admitted that Ray and his friends told witnesses to shut up and say nothing about that night. Also he paid off the families of those involved to avoid a civil suit. Call me crazy but if I didn't commit a crime I sure as hell would fight paying off the families of it.

    I don't care what he's done on the football field, as a man he's pathetic.

    I hate the Ravens but have a great deal of respect for Ray Lewis and he's not "pathetic as a man". Do a little digging in to the guys current day to day dealings. How he is as a father, how he is in his community. How he gives back. All of which doesn't address he's a future hall of famer. He was a "innocent" bystander and the charges were dropped. If you want to take issue with something, take issue with the justice system.

    This is a great, great watch. It's long but worth watching.

    He may not now be a pathetic man, but he is a lucky man.....because he could easily have spent the rest of his career in prison because I personally do NOT believe that he was such an "innocent bystander". He may not have wielded the knife, but he was in control of and responsible for those who did.

    Is he now a model citizen? Perhaps....but he had a lot to make up for.

    ^+1. There are such things as second chances, and Lewis has made the most of his. Model citizen since. Doesn't change what happened that night though. We weren't there, so we'll never know. But if those actions look fishy, they probably ARE fishy. Nice of him to "forget" what happened after he got off on a plea bargain when his pals went on trial. Two people died, and no one remembers what happened. Not likely.

    Yeah, great football player, certain first ballot HOFer. Kind of guy I'd like to hang out with? Nope.
