I am going to wait until the full story gets told.

Something about the report sounds...off. Like either it's a joke, or someone trying to spin up crap.

I had a feeling something like this would come out.

Good thing it is his last game.

[Justlovemybirds]

Saw this coming, it's was only a matter of time.

Perfectly timed for media day.

Apparently the guy recorded a phone call with Lewis, I think that would be a crime in MD, but not every state.

If he did it without Ray's permission, that's illegal for sure.

Videotaped...wonder if you can truly hear Ray's voice on other end.

Like I said...this seems weird to me, like who waits until NOW to release this, unless there's an ulterior motive?

[Ravenswintitle]

That deer antler story is a couple of years old. Maybe they're trying to resurface to get some web hits

[BigPlayReceiver]

No weapon

So what if it is a crime? Unless the NFL recorded it, or hired someone to obtain it illegally they can use the evidence... and it is not like the NFL is a court of law anyway.

I've actually heard of this treatment.

I have no idea how effective it is or anything though.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Any way you slice it....this doesn't sound good at all.

It's going to hang over Ray and the team for this entire week.

And frankly, so many people have wanted to believe Ray was on something that this will be a big black mark on the ending of his career whether this is true or not.

Very disappointing IMHO....very.

As if God and the Harbaugh brothers weren't enough. Even if it had a shred of credibility, the NFL isn't going to do squat at this stage. Might as well go after Brett Favre while we are at it....

True, but it could hurt his legacy, at least outside of the Baltimore area.

Not as long as he continues his valiant struggle to remain retired.

[bt12483]

The NFL has some of the biggest freaks of nature and no one really questions it.

It raises suspicion when you recover much faster from an injury that "should" take longer, but with modern medicine/surgery improving every day, traditional recovery times may be outdated.

Look at Adrian Peterson. And Suggs. Even Peyton - his career was possibly over, and he puts up MVP numbers.

I'll bet Suggs somehow ends up being implicated too. Just because that's how these stories seem to develop.

In the court of public opinion...especially nationally...it's already done a ton of damage.

[bt12483]

Most people outside of Baltimore already can't stand him and think he is a murderer anyway.

[Justlovemybirds]

If nothing else it will be a needless distraction this week.

[drunkmormon]

It is on the front page of SI, so it will get a lot of attention soon...
