If Lewis opens his pie hole he gets what's coming.

I won't lay off the douche bag.

He literally gets paid to talk about these things lol...

I don't hate Lewis any more than some person walking down the street I don't know. The guy was never convicted of anything and who am I to judge someone without evidence or believe he 'got off'.

You can live your life in the dark knowing nothing with out a conviction if you chose. You don't understand the difference between commentary and offering to pay someone's fine?

OJ did it.... so did Ray Lewis.... And I've seen enough of life to know that on more than one occasion; what someone did, and what someone can prove are two different things.

Here, you want to live by that sword? Rodger Goodell hasn't been convicted of damaging the NFL or any unfair treatment of the Saints in his career... Now fall on your own sword.

Lewis paying the fine is nothing but commentary. Do you think brooks needs help financially? No. Lewis is merely making a statement about his displeasure with the leagues calls. This was just a way for him to speak out, and apparently he is getting a lot of attention.

There is a difference between preponderance of evidence and reasonable doubt. Just like in OJs case there was reasonable doubt, although in civil litigation he was determined to be guilty by the preponderance of evidence. You can use this same example with Lewis.

I for one choose to live in a world where people dont get sentenced to life in prison or death unless they are found guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Now you may choose to live in whatever world you want to but that's not reallity.

As for Goodell, he has done nothing criminal so comparisons between him and some other individual accused of a crime isn't intelligent. Goodell may have done things to land himself in civil litigation but that has yet to come forth.

Guess what? It is too fvckin' bad that Lewis is frustrated. It is also too fvckin' bad that some people ( who don't have ANY decision making power in the NFL ) don't happen to think the rules should be the rules. He should be fined, just like all the other shi*ty players are fined.

And, how do you know what he is glad or isn't glad about? From what I've seen Lewis is one crazy fvck.

I do not see why players need to become: a) a grease spot on the field, b) or a paraplegic, or c) attle-brained beyond recognition, by the time they retire, for some fans to be happy.

Lay off the guy....you must be joking.

I don't think he should be fined. IMO it was not malicious and just incidental. 10 years ago that hit would be legal the nfl has just pussified the qb position to the point where a player is better off if they don't touch the qb at all.

I agree though I hate Lewis

TheDude, these are THE RULES today. It was a clothesline tackle, and under THE RULES it should be flagged, as well as fined. Who's team are you on? I question your side, almost every time I see a post from you.

10 years ago you could hit a defenseless receiver also or actually there was no such thing as defenseless receiver. Hitting one these days always draws a fine. I will be highly shocked if this hit doesn't draw a fine. You have the same space that a pitcher has as a strike-zone. Above the knees and below the armpits, If you can't hit a guy in the bellybutton you are just trying to take someone out of the game or end his career.

I hope he offers to pay Gallette's and Jordan's fines when they feed Mouth Breather Ryan a hearty serving of whoopass on Thursday Night.
