Re: WNST Reports Ray Lewis Will Retire After 2012 Season
Yeah, he announced it at the podium, super emotional.
We all kind've knew it was coming, hope this gives the team a ferocious drive to get another Lombardi for him. I'd imagine Ed Reed is gone too..

FOR REED, BIRK, BOLDIN, RAY, ART, TEVIN, OJ, and BALTIMORE...
SUPER BOWL 47 CHAMPION RAVENS!!!!!!

Mark Zinno Citarella
Ray Lewis said he told the team today "This will be my last ride." A very serious hint at retirement.

Re: WNST Reports Ray Lewis Will Retire After 2012 Season
I think most fans assumed as much. More importance for the team than ever to finish what they started...

Re: Ray Lewis to retire.
So glad my wife got to see his dance. I've taken her to 4 games but it wasn't until this season she caught Ray's entrance into the stadium.

Re: Ray Lewis to retire.
I think it's the correct decision given where Ray is in his life and his current level of play, but it still seems so surreal. Nobody saw him going out like this, but if anybody would come back from a major injury at age 38 and end their career on a high note, it's Ray Lewis. The team will certainly be amped up to send him off with a big run.

Re: Ray Lewis to retire.
I guess this is why Harbaugh deflected questions about Ray playing. He wanted to make the statement in his own way.

Good to see him going out on his own terms. Rare luxury for NFL players.

Re: Ray Lewis to retire.
i remember the special that they had with all of his prior coaches talking about Ray a few years ago, how Marvin Lewis would always pull his guys over to the side line to watch Rays dance. The away teams would always look forward to watching that as much as the fans did. Will be missed from the whole league.

Re: Ray Lewis to retire.
he will probably re-appear in two years as coach.
If - When we win the superbowl this year Reed will probably retire as well after the season.

Re: Ray Lewis to retire.
Just came to me: I was at his first home game and I'll be at his last. (And about 100 in between) wow.
