What?! Seriously, Ray. If I didn't see his lips move and hear the words come out of his mouth, I wouldn't have believed it. Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens actually said that crime would increase if there's no NFL next season. I know you don't believe me, but have a look at his ESPN interview (email subscribers click here).
This video is also available at SportsmanshipTV.
Like I said, I hope Lewis doesn't mean this. People have lost their life-savings, jobs, homes and endured high gas prices in this economy and not resorted to crime. How does three hours without football turn the average fan into a menace to society? Examples like this remind us of the difference between sports and real-life. As someone who makes his living in sports, please know that sports is not life. Sports is a part of life that has its place and time along with everything else. Please make sure you tell your kids the same thing. Look, we'd all love to see NFL games in September. However, in the event there is no pro football, I'm sure we'll find something positive to do before becoming fugitives. Maybe we'll all go outside and actually PLAY football with our kids. Imagine that. Until next time...
Be a Good Sport!
