So football season is around the corner now, what with players reporting to ‘voluntary’ mini-camps and all. ESPN pumped out a story this afternoon on one of the all time great LBers and how healthy he’s feeling coming into the season. “Where I am right now, it’s scary.” Lewis is quoted as saying. Seems like an innocent enough story (pun fully intended), and surely QBs in the AFC are pretty nervous about a group that ranked #1 in total defense in ‘06 being better this year. But the really scary thing is that Ray Lewis is a free man while Paris Hilton is costing us tax-dollars in the slammer.
Obviously we’re not accusing Ray Lewis of being a murderer, as that would be straight up libel. Just like we’d never say “we think OJ did it” or “The King of Queens is a watchable TV program”, as they’re both blatant untruths. What is a definite truth, though, that is if Ray Lews comes in this year at the same weight he did last year but with half 
the body fat, as he’s claiming, that’s scary. 255 pounds of pure man-beast running a 4.5 in your direction knowing he’s feeling terribly rested (apparently sleeping 12 hours a day now) and frustrated by being knocked out of the playoffs last year is scary. You know what else is scary? Clowns.

A great player, and a great playmaker, but this is typical Ray Lewis rhetoric here. The only thing bigger than this guys back is his head. I don’t doubt he will have another solid year, but last year was Baltimore’s chance. They are going to go 9-7 this year and will be lucky to get into the playoffs despite the excellent addition of Willis McGahee….unless of course Paris Hilton is released from prison and she and 52 hook up to talk about their days on the street.
