Recently, Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis sat down with ESPN's Sal Paolantonio to discuss the only thing going on with the NFL right now -- the lockout! I love how the title of the ESPN article about this is "Ray Lewis Discusses Lockout Issues" when the real name of the article should have been "Ray Lewis Says a Bunch Of Crazy S#%t." That would be much more fitting. Because almost everything Ray Lewis said was nonsense.Here's the play-by-play of what Lewis said to SalPal: "Do this research if we don't have a season -- watch how much evil, which we call crime, watch how much crime picks up, if you take away our game," Lewis told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.
That's because, Lewis said, the NFL lockout affects "way more than us" -- the owners and the players. "There's too many people that live through us, people live through us," he said. "Yeah, walk in the streets, the way I walk the streets, and I'm not talking about the people you see all the time."
When asked why he thought crime would increase if the NFL doesn't play games this year, Lewis said: "There's nothing else to do Sal."
Yeah, Sal....there is NOTHING else to do! All there is to do is "evil, *pause* which we call crime!!!" Yes, folks, according to Ray Lewis, there are pretty much only two choices folks have when choosing what to do with their time. Either watch football 24 hours a day or go out and commit crimes. I'm too tired to get too deep into how ridiculous what Lewis said was, nor was I planning to. Simply put, I think he's overstating the importance of the NFL in people's lives just a tad.
There are lots and lots of other things going on in this country that are a little more important than the game of football or the lockout.
