For those interested, there's a link to another over -100 thread in there, about how Flacco forced Heap and Mason (lolwut is correct).

First, let me make it clear that I’m a huge Ray Lewis fan. I’m so much a fan; I wore his jersey at the divisional playoff game two years ago in Pittsburg. That all said, [u][b]I was wondering if anyone other than me was thinking it’s time for Ray to end the intro dance [/b][/u]at home games. [u][b]I have mixed feelings about it[/b][/u]. Part of me love seeing Ray fire up the crowd every time he comes out of that tunnel. The other part of me thinks it’s time for him to pass the torch. Start giving the younger guys their turn to shine. The team motto this year is “Team”. Maybe it’s time to end the dance. I would love to hear some opinions from you guys (and girls). Should he end the dance???

I must admit, I expect most people to vote keep the dance. Didn't think it would be this one sided. Trust me, [u][b]I have no problem seeing Ray dancing as must as he wants[/b][/u]. Just seeing were the Flock's mind was.

Thats the first thing I thought of when I saw that picture! Everyone rips on Flacco on here too do I thought it fit.

[PerpetuallyBored74]

When Ray's been hurt, did he still do the pre-game dance?
Or did someone else?
Or was the dance temporarily shelved until Ray recovered?

As for the poll, I voted no.
In fact, he should keep dancing even after he retires--it's become a tradition

He had turf toe, lol. No dance for him!

[jdynamite]

I barely even understand how this could be a topic on here from one of our fans.. This seems like it would be a Skip Bayless type of topic... If Ray was a benched player not receiving PT, or a shell of himself, and yet dancing still then I could understand.. But as far as I'm concerned I've always wanted Ray to become a Coach for the Ravens following his retirement and I wouldn't care if he still led the team out the tunnel then as a coach.... lol that's just me though

[Dfence4champs2052]

Only minus 60?!?! I thought the threadstarter would be pushing the record lol.

[TreTheRaven]

Oh God. What's next? Maybe end his motivational speeches as well? Like, what time is it?

I can't believe this was brought up, honestly.

[da vegas raven]

LMAO... Hummm well.... I don't even know were to start with this 1 lol...I did like everyone else and voted ray keep dancing 1st there are diehard fans yes diehard fans that have never seen the dance in person never been inside the bank even just once (which I am one bmore raven tattoo and all) ...ive just drove on the free way in between camden and the bank(while visiting grams) and wondererd what it would be like to see the dance on a sunday at home vs the team with the long haired women saftey...sadly due to money I most likely will never get to see it but it's still a part of my "ravenhood" kinda like childhood it's been there since I was little and it just wouldn't be right to take a good part of a childhood away...now that being said I get your point and that's not what you want or are asking for just thinking about the future and startin discusion which is great I feel like the suga dance should be here forever I don't really know the answer but I think the better poll (worded better) would be do you wanna pass it down and say hey ray retired so Ed your the next greatest defense player so now you do the ray lew dance at home games and it's kinda a thing that gets passed down to who ever the best defenseive player is after the current one retires to "keep ray alive" and keep that going or would you rather say team first but NEVER forget ray and have the whole team come out the tunnel as one and do it together and get announced after the dance together as a whole as our bmore ravens...I'd have to say I'd pick number two I think it would be unique and it would be great to see flacco rice and even more so the big boys like Cody ngata
yanda and KO do it But regardless how it goes it never needs to go period

I really dont think Ray is even able to just run out on his introduction.

BTW, when did he start the dance? What year was he in?

[ravensfan2430]

This thread has to be against the code of conduct in some way!?

[TXRaven]

As long as Ray is Playing Ray should dance. I really love the way it gets the crowd and the team going.

I stand corrected!

[PurpNBlack22]

This is completely out of the question and im actually quite angry someone voted to end the dance and hope it was a joke...The biggest reason it cant end is because this is my year to see the dance in person heh.

Great questions. I know he's done it since the beginning of his career and it's changed but no idea of its genesis. It would be a great story someone should dig up!

Dont know the answer, but I find it hard to believe he came out as a rookie and started doing the dance. Come on now...

It had to be the super bowl year when we were just straight owning folks.

[baltravensrj55]

I can't believe out of 130+ posts only one said to end it all. We have some serious fans on this board

That is what I was thinking ( based on nothing mind you )
If I were to guess it was once in a wile before the superbowl and became a every inrtoduction thing the following season.
( again based on nothing )
