Stephen C. Smith ... Yeah it was impressive. Usually the best speeches, the ones that inspire the most, come from the heart and they can articulate their emotions without notes. And if you know Ray, you know he practiced that speech for months before today. Not saying he memorized it word for word, but he prepared the sequence and key points ahead of time. Amazing execution and very inspiring. I shed a few tears when he talked about his friend at age 14. I've been at the bottom before so I can relate to how it feels when you pick yourself back up.

@b.kawhi-it7214 6 жыл бұрын

Mike T I cried unstoppable tears too. What got me crying was the fact he was able to turn insignificant moments of the past into totally significant and memorable moments of learnt lessons, and able to point out every single person who played such impactful parts in his personal story of his rise to glory. Phenomenal!

Bryan Halstead What makes Lewis a murderer? You know his two friends got acquitted for self-defense, right? That means that even if Lewis participated in the stabbings (no evidence for that, plenty of evidence for the contrary), then it still wouldn’t be murder, only justified slayings. He didn’t pay them off, they sued him and he settled out of court. All this happened AFTER the trial. So, why didn’t the family sue the two men who were proven to have killed the slain?

Where can I start, I moved to Howard County in 2000 and during my First Day at Manor Woods ES I saw #52 and wondered who that is. I Love Ray Lewis and the Ravens Organization as much like the Eagles and I cried as much as everyone did when he did his Last Snap at M&T Bank Stadium knowing that he's on his "Last Ride". Lost my Mind in when I heard the Radio Call when Jacoby Jones made that catch, Watched as Baltimore exploded when Tom Brady was Brought down, and Watched as Ray Lewis held that Lombardi. The Ravens knew that they couldn't let Ray go without a Parting Gift. Now were here. My Eagles won in Superbowl 52 in a Purple Stadium with #52 Ray Lewis going to the HOF with #20 Brian Dawkins and I never been so happy! #FlyEaglesFly X #RavensNation
