Does Everybody Have To Love Ray Lewis Now?
In Life, everybody makes a mistake or two. However, most people do not play professional football or make a mistake that changes a life. For Ray Lewis, he did have that mistake, he repented and supposedly changed, and is now being praised as an humanitarian, and a Hall of Fame football player. For some they are still heartbroken, and will never see what Ray Lewis stands for now. This story has been critiqued, and dissected a million times, but as I watch the playoffs, and see him being worshipped and put on a altar of greatness, I cant help but think about the families that didn't get to see their sons achieve greatness. I also cant help but to feel a little sick about polarizing a man who has brutal truth buried inside him.It was Jan 31 2000 and Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker were out late and doing what every young 24 and 21 year old does, having a good time. Ray Lewis and his entourage were partying too, at a posh nightclub after Super Bowl XXXIV. After leaving the nightclub Lewis, and some friends got into his limo when supposedly a liquor bottle hit Reginald Oakley, a music producer and former barber, whom Lewis met at University of Miami. We all know what happens next, a fight ensued and it left 2 men stabbed and left there to die. It is worth pointing out that Lollar was 24 years old, and his fiance was pregnant when he died. Baker was 21.Witnesses seen Lewis's limo speed away

Fan Poll: Is Terrell Suggs coming back too early?
Losing Ray Lewis is a big deal for the Baltimore Ravens defense. If you add in the injury to Ladarius Webb, you can easily understand the eagerness of the team to bring Terrell Suggs back from injury. Suggs playing this Sunday will the be the quickest return of any athlete to competition that has suffered an Achilles injury. No doubt he is a freak of nature, but let's be serious here. The players sometimes have to be saved from themselves at times. Is he return now not the best option long term?
Ray Lewis may retire at the end of the year. Suggs is next anchor and face of the defense. There is no need to risk the future for now.
The Ravens travel to Houston to take on the Texans this Sunday.
