What does it say about the prosecutors if they offered him a deal? Could it be that he, you know, didn't kill anyone or that they didn't have any evidence against him.


Oh ok. So they had no evidence against him, nothing that could link him to the crime so they offer him a deal? Yep, that's exactly how our legal system works.

As for "paying" off the family, that should tell you it was a lot cheaper than going thru a trial. Good chance he was only sued because he is famous and has deep pockets.


People don't just get your money if you have deep pockets. There was clearly cause. Nobody pays 13M unless they have something to hide.

according to who? Why should football players, regardless of past associations be considered role models? He's a good football player, that's it as far as i'm concerned.


Monitor ESPN closely for the next 2 weeks and you'll have your answer. Count the number of times the word 'role model', 'legend' and 'heroic' are used. Ray Lewis is portrayed as a role model for defensive players. Have you heard his sermons lately? They are pretty well televised.

They had him for obstruction, doesn't mean he committed the murder.

He can still be all those things on the field even if he isn't off it.

And I don't remember anyone claiming that Ray Lewis is a squeaky clean human being.

Right, there was no evidence against him. We are all innocent until proven guilty, so...

I don't watch ESPN except for games, they jumped the shark for me a long time ago. I suggest you do the same if hyperbole bothers you. Most of what I have seen and stuff like calling him "legend" are in respect to him as a football player. He is a great football player.

All the Ray Lewis threads I've seen on this board recently have been started by people that don't like him and think he is a murderer. I don't recall a "Ray Lewis is a Hero" thread.

He didn't pay anyone 13 million. They sued for 13 million and settled for an undisclosed amount. You can sue for anything, just put it in your complaint. You're just not going to get it. Just saying.
