Personally, I wanted the 49ers to win, mostly so Ray Lewis wouldn't go out with a win...but at least he is going out... I really cannot wait for Ray Lewis to go away. For someone who preaches TEAM, he sure comes across as a self-centered Jack@$$. Winning the Superbowl is the ultimate TEAM accomplishment in pro football, but he always seems to turn the attention to himself. Happy retirement Ray - maybe some Deer hunting in the future?

Last time I checked, it is the media all over Ray Lewis. Just like the media was all over Bettis when he retired (and it was ALL about him).

Well, I am glad you checked that last time; and BTW, Bettis and Lewis = Apples and Oranges.

If it weren't for the media, I guess no one would really know just how much of a self-centered hypocrite he really is... "my team, my teamates, god, faith, no weapon, I didn't kill anyone... hey watch me dance... it's all about me baby, do you see me, look...watch me come out of the tunnel...see ME?


Go, just GO away already.


No doubt he has been a good linebacker for many years, I guess I am just tired of it and this last year seems ever-so tiresome.

Really, how different is it? Is it just because you don't like Lewis? If I remember correctly, the media made that Super Bowl ALL about Jerome Bettis. It was even made worst by the fact that that particular Super Bowl was played in Bettis hometown.

The media is going to take a story and blow it up to get ratings. If you don't want to hear about it, then turn off the TV, Twitter, Facebook, etc., etc. The media is always going to have a Ray Lewis, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, and a Tom Brady that they are going to go overboard in their coverage.
