  1. Come on now, don't overreact. Try to get some perspective on this. Baltimore is a nice town and the Ravens are a decent football team but Dallas is DALLAS! You shouldn't blame a guy for reaching for the brass ring when he gets a chance. Putting that star on is it man, almost as cool as being able to don the silver and black. Lewis has dreams just like any other 12 year old. Just so nobody takes this the wrong way, I am being sarcastic. Honestly, best not to get too wrapped up in this stuff. Putting athletes on pedestals is a bad idea. Some of them are decent men (Brigance, Al Bumbry, Joe Delaney) but I would imagine most are self centered egoists it is best to stay far away from. Look for great men in the barracks at 8th and I or in any hospital, at Walter Reed or at Bethesda. I would imagine there are order of magnitude greater men playing football in Annapolis than at Ravens stadium. In order to enjoy watching the Ravens I suspend reality, like I do when I watch a sci fi movie. Otherwise the whole spectacle is too nauseating to stomach - a billionaire schilling a product to increase his wealth so multi millionaires can make more money playing a childs game in a stadium built and paid for by paupers. So when one of those types like Lewis makes some self serving statement like he did showing his true colors as a superficial and shallow jerk, I just let it roll of my back. I root for the laundry and the city of Baltimore, I spend as much time worrying and fretting about Lewis as he does about me. I wouldn't build a statue for any of them, unless it was to be placed in apark honoring greed and self aggrandizement.
