Ray Lewis to Retire After Playoffs

Lewis announced Wednesday he will end his brilliant NFL career after the Ravens complete their 2013 playoff run.

Lewis has been sidelined since Oct. 14 with a torn right triceps. The 13-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker intends to return Sunday to face the Indianapolis Colts in what will almost certainly be his final home game.

"Everything that starts has an end," the 37-year-old Lewis said. "For me, today, I told my team that this will be my last ride."
 
As a Steeler's fan, I'm GLAD to see Ray Lewis retire.

As a football fan, I'm sad to see him go. He was a fabulous defensive player.
 
I'll happily take him as <insert favorite team name>'s linebackers coach asap. Hell, I'd be willing to give him a shot as defensive coordinator for <insert struggling team name>.

If he wants to, dude has a LONG career in football still ahead of him.

I think a lot of level-headed Ravens fans are glad that Ray Lewis is retiring.

In his prime he was possibly the best linebacker to ever play the game but those days are gone. He's probably gotten to the point where his on the field performance isn't worth his salary cap hit, however no Ravens GM would ever cut him. Knowing how to quit when you're on top is an underrated skill and I'm glad to see that Ray Lewis has it.
 
Great player and I think he would make a great position coach for someone at some point in time. For some reason, I think he would be a better college coach than a NFL one.

Either way, HOF for sure.

I think he'll have a few choices about which TV network he wants to work for.

I don't think so. He's said repeatedly that he has no conception of what to do with himself after football, and that he wants to play for another decade. I get the impression that he's more likely to go out like Brett Favre than Jim Brown.
 
It amazes me how people will never get over Michael Vick being involved in dog fighting, but somehow shrug off Ray Lewis' involvement in murder.

It might have to do with the fact that the initial first degree murder charge against him was complete horseshit with no evidence behind it.

I agree on the Vick thing but one of the funny things was that he got 23 months in prison for his role in the dog fighting ring. Then along comes Donte Stallworth not too long after that and he gets jail time for a DUI where he hit and killed a man. He got 30 days in jail. Leonard Little also hit and killed someone while driving drunk and only got 90 days in jail.

These are all terrible things but something is wrong when sentences for killing someone is far less than a dog fighting ring.
 
The greatest defensive player of the modern era and arguably all time (although comparing eras is silly). He could beat you not only physically, but mentally as a natural born leader who inspired fear in opponents. Just a tackling machine.

Someone should show him the video of Theismann and LT.

I picture him as someone with too much pride to hang around. Clearly he doesn't throw the long ball like he used to. And he's got the two kids, iirc.

Elway did it right. Go out with the Super Bowl trophy in your hands.

Then become the GM when Belichek retires. Or not.
