Ray Lewis To Retire At End of Season

'96-2013 What a hell of an era. Maybe the best defensive player in NFL history. CERTAINLY a 1st ballot Hall of Famer. His energy, power, grit, and command of respect may not ever be matched in the NFL ever again.

I'd personally like to see the Pack win it all, but if  they can't, GO RAVENS!

Not that I recall. Listen, I know of players such as Jack Tatum, LT, Butkus, Lambert, Singletary, etc. I'm just saying I think Ray is one of the top defensive guys ever. Upper echelon. There's no doubt about it.

No question about that, he has earned his spot at the big table.  Best in history, though?  Been those that were better.

For the record, Clay Matthews is going to be one of those siting at the big boy table some years down the line. May even get himself a gold jacket.

Of course, when someone asked Ray Lewis if he'd be an analyst for ESPN when he retires, he was quoted as saying, "I'll take a stab at it."
