Browns RB Lewis announces his intent to retire after season

Associated Press
CHICAGO -- Cleveland Browns running back Jamal Lewis plans to retire at the end of the season.

Lewis told reporters Sunday after the Browns' 30-6 loss at Chicago that his 10th NFL season will be his last, adding, "When I talk, I mean what I say, and I think you all know that."

Lewis, who missed two games in late September and early October with a hamstring injury, ran for 69 yards on 16 carries against the Bears. That gave him 349 yards this season and 10,456 in his career.

"I've watched the Ravens' defense on film, and I don't know what's going on. It's unbelievable," Phill Simms said. "That defense is off the charts with new looks and personnel and guys moving around. I don't even try to describe what they're doing on TV because most of the time, I just don't know."

In the same article he also says he thinks this is it. In a way its smart, most RBs are not very effective very far into their 30s anyway. (pay attention LaDainian)

The Browns are a retirement graveyard.

Put him in the Ravens Ring of Honor.

“Here’s a reality of this league,” John started, “you never pick up where you left off the season before. We’re never back to a minute left in the AFC championship game ready to take it to the Super Bowl. We’re not there until we earn our way back there again. Every team starts over, and the foundation for us starts right now. We build the whole thing from scratch."

Would you really put Jamal in the Ring of Honor?

Absolutely cleetz. If Ernest Byner can be there then there's room for anybody.

He carried that offense on his back...he was the offense..week after week he faced 8,9,10 in the box and was a big part of getting to the Super Bowl...the great 2003 season...then...he chose a life of suffering by going to Cleveland...:)
