I’ll admit, when the Sports Illustrated report regarding Ray Lewis’ alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs surfaced, my curiosity was instantly piqued. I wasn’t especially curious if the iconic middle linebacker actually used the illegal drugs in question. And I wasn’t even all that concerned with his comments following the allegations. What I really wanted to know was, what kind of outcry would this report instigate throughout sports world? As it turned out (and as I suspected), it was no more than a blip for Lewis and the NFL, as Major League Baseball–once again–was thrust into the forefront of the PED scandal. Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun headed a list of players reportedly linked to HGH use and the story immediately took flight, offering the NFL another chance to sneak by virtually unscathed. While Lewis admitted having contact with Sports with Alternatives to Steroids (the company responsible for producing the deer-antler supplements), he denied the use of deer-antler spr...

Ravens want to erect Lewis statue

Via Fox Sports  |  February 10, 2013
Ray Lewis still may be a controversial figure in some corners of the country, but one of those corners is not Baltimore. In his final season, the last of the original Ravens just led his team to a Super Bowl victory, and about the only argument over him among Baltimore fans is whether he was a better leader or a better linebacker. And to Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, that is a legacy...

SNL parodies CBS time-filling during Super Bowl blackout (Video)

Via Holdout Sports  |  February 10, 2013
SNL wasted no time "tackling" the Super Bowl XLVII blackout in Saturday night's opening sketch with a parody of how the CBS NFL crew tried to kill time during the blackout. With Dan Marino and Bill Cowher running out of things to say, and Steve Tasker having no information to give, James Brown (played by Kenan Thompson) resorted to reciting interesting anagrams of...

Via BlackSportsOnline  |  February 11, 2013
  Before the playoffs began  Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis decided to announce that he was going to call it quits after the season, regardless of the outcome. A move that many at the time, felt would be a rallying point for the team as they prepared for a Super Bowl run. While many grew tired of the attention that Lewis was getting, it appears the team drew inspiration...

The First Sunday Without NFL Football: Now What Do We Do?

Via Football Nation  |  February 11, 2013
If you are like me, during the NFL regular season all the way through the conclusion of the Super Bowl, you are consumed by football 24/7. That all came to a screeching halt late last Sunday night as we watched Ray Lewis walk out into the middle of the field and ascend into heaven, after his Baltimore Ravens held off a very competitive San Fransisco 49ers team 34-31, to win Super...

The 2012 season is over for the Baltimore Ravens, and now we look onto the potential 2013 Baltimore Ravens roster changes.

A couple outlets reported that O.J. Simpson held a Super Bowl party inside his jail cell. Must have been bittersweet seeing Ray Lewis go out like that. But the National Enquirer has much more salacious O.J. nuggets, specifically that The Juice caught the gay! Sure, because it’s the National Enquirer, it’s probably total bullsh*t, but let’s all point and laugh anyway: After...
