Nor should he. He's earned it IMO

It's time.
But it is definitely still sad and seems surreal.

Ray Lewis is the greatest middle-linebacker and leader to ever play the game. I don't think his type of player will be seen again.

The money difference alone makes it an easy decision.

Re: WNST Reports Ray Lewis Will Retire After 2012 Season
Agreed that it's time, but majorly agreed that it still knocks the wind out of my chest knowing I won't see #52 on that field after this season.
Ray, your presence as a Raven will be missed. Defined this franchise for so long, and in an age where we end up supporting the laundry and not the players, we were lucky to have him here for his full 17 year career and witness so many great moments from him. A sad day for sure.
Re: Ray Lewis to Retire (Merged)
As soon as I heard the news, I immediately went online and got my tickets.
This will be my first Ravens game ever. I'm so filled with a swelling combination of excitement and bittersweetness.

You sure picked a good time to go. Why did you wait so long LOL
Re: Ray Lewis to Retire (Merged)
It's a good thing I don't have a valid passport, I'd be booking tickets and flights about now.

Well, when I was younger my parents never took me (games are expensive + logistical hassle for people who are not diehard fans). From 2007 to 2011 I went to college in Chicago, and for this past year I was living abroad in Turkey. Just returned to the States and I guess this is the best last chance you can get.
