Ray Lewis Embarrassed Himself Today: For Some Nothing else to do but crime without Football

[MadBadger]

Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis believes there will be an increase in criminal activity if the NFL lockout lasts into the regular season. And he’s not talking about crime committed by NFL players.

Lewis told ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio that he thinks there’s a segment of the population that will be at risk of turning to criminal activity if there’s no football to watch on Sundays in the fall.

“Do this research if we don’t have a season — watch how much evil, which we call crime, watch how much crime picks up, if you take away our game,” Lewis said. “There’s too many people that live through us, people live through us. Yeah, walk in the streets, the way I walk the streets, and I’m not talking about the people you see all the time.”

Asked to explain why crime would increase without NFL games, Lewis said: “There’s nothing else to do, Sal.”

Nothing else to do apparently but resort to crime without the NFL on Sunday. Really Ray Ray? Are you talking about yourself there?

5. He's right, I had to stop myself from throwing a brick into a closed store window yesterday...

6. Well, I know one thing.

I will be resisting the urge to punch things if there is no football this year.

7. Nothing to do? In my dreams Americans will find time to review

the voting records of their political representatives...

In my dreams...

8. I was trying to nail down the word for what I felt watching that interview.

Kinda like how I felt for Molly Ringwald's character in The Breakfast Club, talking about all the pressure she's under from being popular because "everybody looks up to us."

"Embarassed" pretty much sums it up.
