If this indeed is the NFL’s best rivalry, it means it is the most heated and that means most hated. And if there is one player on the Baltimore Ravens Steelers fans love to hate more than them all, it is Ray Lewis.
Steelers fans believe he’s gotten away with murder – not the case in Atlanta in 2000 but on the field against their own team.
Truth is, if Ray Lewis played for the Steelers he’d be the most popular player among the Terrible Towel-swinging set. He plays football the way Steelers fans envision their defenders play – hard, brutal and at a high level...........

Not true. I wouldn't support Stabby Ray in black 'n' gold. Haloti Ngata, OTOH would be welcomed with open arms.

[Edman]

Yeah, I'd probably like Ray Lewis if he were a Steeler.

But he isn't.

So I don't.

[ALLD]

Ray Lewis is broken down and should be selling women's shoes.

If only the Ravens were smart enough not to cut James Harrison

[solardave]

Can't even imagine him a Steeler. I probably would quit watching, I dislike him that much.

[CanadianSteel]

Ray was once a great player, now he gets 3-4 tackles and 8 celebrations each game and the media just sucks it up..... over the hill IMO.... but I do admire his passion for the game....

[BPS3akaWirels3]

Could careless.. I just hate those NFL and Old Spice commercials.. It's a little gay seeing him ride a bird up his butt and holding a can of Old Spice..

Ray Lewis is broken down and should be selling women's shoes.

Probably not something he'd be very good at, but I'm sure he'd take a stab at it.

Last time I played Warden in Madden (I beat him BTW) he asked why Ray didn't celebrate after making a tackle. I told him that Ray only celebrates after jumping on top of a pile.

Most Ravens fans say the same about Hiney. But truth be told, if Ray was a Steeler and Ward was a Raven, we'd hate Ray and you'd hate Ward. They are both competitors and go all out every play, every game.

What are you trying to say?

Not true. Hines loves to play football and smiles a lot. Ray Lewis is a criminal.

Ngata would be a dream!

[HollywoodSteel]

The Steelers cut him 3 times as well. We're just lucky he was with us when the light finally turned on for him.

And his light should stay on..ah, good times!
