Brings tears to my eyes.... makes me think of a simpler times....sitting on the couch with my dad every Sunday watching the ravens play, I bugged my dad the whole game asking him all about it, do you think they’ll run the ball dad? Do you think the call will get overturned dad? Do you think there’s enough time for us (the Ravens) to catch back up dad? My dad wasn’t a very patient man but he always answered my questions about the game, and told me what was going on when I was young and didn’t understand. Oh the things we take for granted. I would give anything to be able to just sit down and watch the game right now with my dad :/
Im sure Haloti will get in when his 5 years have passed. May not be first ballot (although i would love it to be) but i can see him getting in one day. He definitely deserves it, for the years he gave us and the ones that followed.
Even tho I'm late with this response but I totally agree with u James. I am a die hard Steelers Fan. Ray Lewis was special tho. He definitely the heart and soul not just for the Baltimore Ravens but In Football Period. Salute To You Ray Lewis. What Time Is It!!!!
You will never never never see another player play at his intensity. For all 15 years he gave 150% . There will never be another Ray Lewis. His entrance alone is undefeated
if it was one career i was glad to watch on tv as a kid growing up...was the career of ray lewis. Best linebacker and one of the best defensive players of all time...
Like the guy or hate the guy there is no denying that this was someone you wanted on the team. Hard find to have a guy with that much passion but more importantly high football IQ and can play the position at another level.
A man of God first and foremost, but a legend, an icon, a friend to so many teammates, team staff and fans, Ray poured his heart into the game, even if your not a Baltimore fan it'd be incredibly tough not to love and respect the man, listen to his Hall of Fame speech and you'll hear his passion, trust me it is so infectious!
I use this to get hype at the gym! There’s nothing like coming out of the tunnels on a Saturday afternoon... I could only imagine doing it on Sundays! He was a warrior!
I was very sad when the introductions started. When ray came out, I couldn't stop crying. I cried every playoff game all the way to the end of Superbowl XLVII. Congrats Ray.
l was at that game against the Colts in the Wild Card round. l remember being AWESTRUCK by this legend they called Ray Lewis. L had been to a few home games before, but this was different. Knowing this was IT, win or lose, this was going to be the last time this man would perform in front of the home crowd. Then came the last play of the game. How fitting it was to see Ray on the field, on OFFENSE no less. Joe Flacco takes the snap, hands the ball off to Ray, and he goes into his dance one last time for the crowd. Over 70,000 fans, all of them crying tears of joy, and DAMNIT, l'm proud to say that l was one of them. It seems almost poetic in a way that the Ravens would go all the way to another Super Bowl win for their leader. A fitting ending for not only a champion of an athlete, but also for a champion of a MAN.
I bet it was great man to watch him play, especially with a torn tricep not even healed fully. He put all effort on the field and trusted God man. He prospered is all I can say. I was 10 years old watching that game instead of heading to church with my grandma. I had to watch him
I really miss the Ravens back when they had that Super Bowl Squad. Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Anquon Boldin, Ray Rice, Tory Smith, Terrell Suggs, Haloti Nota, Joe Flacco. They were a very well put together team then. They were literally unstoppable during that time.
As a Cleveland Brown Only you & James Harrision stroke the fear into me,I have nothing but respect for you.Not only were you a great football player but also great leader off the field and not only did you trash talk among the best but backed it up. You will always be one of my favorites of all time to watch Ray!!!
I was on my way too work unmotivated today.. this vid came up … I saw it & ray got me so hyped up my whole mood for work changed… I just sacked my boss & quit
I still think it was a travesty to let Reed, Suggs and Ngata go to play on other teams when they also should have retired full blown Ravens like Ogden and Lewis. Especially Reed. Lewis and Reed are the greatest duo on defense ever
The dance comes from a guy! Whose name was Kirby Lee! A small town called Bradley Junction. South of Lakeland/Mulberry Florida. I went to school with his Mother! A very sweet woman. Protected and cared for her younger siblings! Ms. Buffy. Very soft spoken lady. But she could hold her own! She never started a fight. But she definitely knows how to end them. Very beautiful woman inside and outside!
From Dad taking me to see the ravens @ memorial stadium to me taking dad to what would be our last game together. Stadium will never be the same without Ray and when the song drops lol
