Re: Ray Lewis' Dance
Tell you what. When Mason, or Suggs, or Heap, or Reed comes out and says they want the dance back, then I'll believe there is this "groundswell" from the players that they want it.

Re: Ray Lewis' Dance
[QUOTE=StingerNLG]That's the very attitude I am tired of. All of a sudden he thinks everyone sees him as the star of the team and "The General"?
Exactly. IMHO, I want to see more of that on the field, and less of the showboating. Once again, a couple of years ago, TO wouldn't have mocked Ray, because of what he did on the field, but now, IMO, it is more about "Hollywood", then what he has done on the field.

Ugh.
It's for the fans guys.
Stop translating it to on the field play.

Re: Ray Lewis' Dance
Why Isnt it enough that it was reported from Team Officials that the players want it? Jamison has been straight with us, I mean, he's no mike preston, right?. The Guys you mentioned have all gone on the record saying that they love playing with ray and all get along with him. I'm sure those guys wouldn't stand in the way of a little home town fun and tradition.
And playing with Ray and watching him get the spotlight each weak are two different things. When I hear those guys say they love the dance, then I'll believe they love it.

Look, the dance might be gone and it's absolutely not the end of the world. I'd be a bit disappointed but would get over it easily.
I just think this whole discussion about it has gone far beyond what the dance is/was and its effect on the team.

Re: Ray Lewis' Dance
So who are these "Team Officials" then? Seriously, it's always a joke to me to hear the "unnamed source" say things.
When I hear those guys say they love the dance, then I'll believe they love it.

Re: Ray Lewis' Dance
I like the dance but understand the issues it causes, such as making Ray the center of attention instead of the team. I think we should go back to intros but put the dance on hold. But if they have it for opening day I wouldn't mind.

Re: Ray Lewis' Dance
Who knows who the "Team Officials" are but this is in the Baltimore Sun not a website like profootballtalk.com
You'd think if the players wanted the dance, they'd have no problem telling that to the media specifically, especially if they saw it as a positive or thought the team or fans would benefit from it.

Re: Ray Lewis' Dance
For crying out loud...
I’ve attended games, and the stadium ERUPTS when Ray does the dance…so I’d say the vast majority of people who attend love it. It’s part of the experience of being there, as opposed to merely watching it on TV or ranting on a message board.
As for the players, I really don’t care whether they like it or not. They are professionals. They get paid to play a game and play it well. If some of them hate the dance, that’s tough. They have to produce no matter how they feel about it, and that’s what we should all expect.
Maybe I can give a whining player a list of the shit I don't like that I put up with every day...then we can compare and see how it stacks up to standing on a football field for ten seconds while Ray does a few moves.Last edited by RavenMad2099; 08-23-2006 at 11:32 AM.
