The words stuck in his throat at first, but Lewis revealed it's time to retire – on his own terms.

I will miss you Uncle Ray Ray!

......with his shield, not on his shield!

I think its really time for Ray to a serious Talk with Flacco. After this year, Its officially his team.

[CxM_27]

& I think #52 should be foribidden to be used hah. Thank you Ray, For everything!

dang.... happy new year... i guess

When you factor in all of the individual and team accomplishments that Ray has achieved with his ability to inspire and led men on and off the field, Ray Lewis is simply the greatest player to ever play in the NFL. There never was and will never be another player like Ray Lewis.

I once had a boss in the Air Force who used to say: "Sooner or later you will retire from the Air Force and your family will still be there unless you screw it up first"
Ray is a great player and now gets to prove he is a great parent as well. He will leave a legacy in two worlds.

I cant belive it this can b the last home game for ray i cant imagine him not there ya hes been injured but we know he was coming back but everyone knows we have to move on. Black wednesday

Baltimore will make it pretty simple. Thanks. Thanks for the blood, sweat, and tears you've put into this team, city, community. Thank you Ray.

I think its also important to know that Ed is also 34 ... And he doesnt have a ring. Which he deserves. There will be 2 guys on that field Sunday that have hard earned a Superbowl Ring.

[D3x3001]

The Colts have no idea what is in store for them come Sunday.

Thank you Ray! For your love for the game and heart as a player! 15 years ago it changed the way I was living and breathing Football %u2013 it made me (from Germany) a Raven and that will never change! I never made it to Baltimore for a Game to see you live %u2013 but I never missed a single game %u2026 live statistics or radio broadcast in a time without internet TV-streams when the Ravens game wasn`t scheduled for the 3 live Games we got on a game day %u2026 what a great player and person on and off the field! A great inspiration for many! Not only in sport!

Mantai teo! Get em

[mettro79]

I don't know if I can even really take all of this in right now. It's something that I knew was coming one day, but was never really prepared for. By no means can I blame him for his decision. You have to respect what he's done for this organization and for us as fans. He has definitely earned this right, it's just hard to live with.

I hope that we can send RAY out with another ring! We have been there... we have knocked on that door and have been so close... It is time!

No matter what... Ray Lewis has been the face of the RAVENS since day #1 . His star has burned a little brighter then most... Ray...wether he is with this team or not has helped to set an expectation and a standard in Baltimore that most teams just never reach.

RaY your legacy will be felt in Blatimore long after your retirement. Everybody drafted by this franchise has to aspire to a bar that you have set extremely high!
RAY LEWIS... is the RAVENS.... and will continue to be so- long after he is gone

But Ray Lewis...has found that before he is a RAVEN he is a father and a MAN! Proud to see the greatest LB of all time is an even better person!

THATS A LEAGACY!

[NCMan]

So, to all those who jumped all over some of us for saying this was his last year.....there you go.

[NCMan]

Oh, and watch NFL Network tonight at 8.

[Mystigo_Dragon]

W0W,... Trent Dilfer just gave Ray a rousing endorsement to the Man! He said, whether it was game preparation, play, or personal problems, when he talks, you listen because,... you trust him!!!

Then, he said something heavy! Who will step up and be that LEADER?
