Here is what i hope happens to the statue

Will the statue be of Lewis wearing full pads, no helmet, with a pistol in his right hand?

Looks killer

LOL. I hear if you insert 5 cents in the slot where his mouth his the status will speak total gibberish for 5 minutes and that talk will make no sense in any earthly language at all.

If the statue is vandalized, do the Ravens alert the authorities or do they stay quiet to cover up the crime? Such questions need answers.

They migth hold a press conference where the statue apologizes for being vandalized and where the vandalizer basically becomes celebrated.

Yeah... I can't top this. Congrats on winning the thread.

Always thought that erecting a statue of a living person was something that was just "not done".

It's amazing to me that nobody seems to realize that this guy either killed a NFL at the Superbowl, or at the very least, watched his friends kill a NFL fan during the Superbowl and assisted them in covering up the crime. The only reason he wasn't convicted of murder was jury nullification.

Of course, he is an ESPN employee now. You know the left wing broadcaster who is killing the Redskins to change their name, and of course, 24/7 coverage of a seventh round draft pick because he is sleeping with the son of a mobster.

Now that he's done with Lewis, the Ravens want the sculptor to start work on the Ray Rice statue.

I think they got it right

First off there should be no statue of Ray Lewis. Everybody would still hate him if it weren't for the incident. Because he is a great player. Belichick would hock his soul to have a defensive player that good. Oh yeah the incident. There were so many peeps showing up to hang out with The Ray Lewis Entourage that weren't even part of his entourage. Ray Lewis is a moron hanging out with thugs in the first place. However there were so many thugs showing up to hang out nobody knows what happened, damn that probably wasn't the only fight going on when you get ghetto thugs and losers trying to feel part of the Ray Lewis entourage and show off. He may not have even known most of the participants in that fight and got out of dodge after he knew of the stabbing. Or he could have witnessed it and it could have been in self defense. Ray Lewis has never been part of any incident a Dwi or anything since. I'm not defending him but nobody knows he saw it and would you want to be arrested for being in the area of a crime that a friend of a friend to the ninth power committed just because you were the person noticed. One thing I do know is I don't feel bad for Ray Lewis, he had no business parading around with thugs but labeling him a murderer is biased. How many of us defended Hernandez til we learned he actually did shoot people. I thought he was in the wrong place wrong time til news he likely shot people and did it before. Hernandez is way different than Lewis. And I'm guilty of defending Hernandez at first we just have to stop and think how any of us can get arrested for just being somewhere and it would suck, I know peeps it happened to although not a murder charge and they weren't even hanging out with thugs at the time

The only thing I have a problem with this unveiling today is took away the thunder for the unveiling of the OJ Simpson statue being unveiled in front of Ralph Wilson Stadium today.

Cool statue.

Looks like Ray Lewis is getting ready to knife through an offense.

Should be covered in blood with a white suit in a paper bag next to him.

Buffalo: Oh its on!

Buffalo: OJ Simpson statue to be unveiled at local pawn shop.

The Ravens Twitter proceeded to attribute to Ray a quote that I think I've heard somewhere before...

https://twitter.com/Ravens/status/507547289842630656

Ray Lewis: "Stand for something, or else you'll fall for anything."

Ray Lewis: "I have a dream."

Ray Lewis: "Four score and seven years ago..."
