Ray Lewis Vs Battering Ram

"If Ray Lewis knocks at your door, better let him in. That's the lesson to be learned from the next edition of Sport Science.

The program uses lots of high-tech equipment to film and measure actions of athletes in scientific fashion. In this case, Sport Science decided to compare the Ravens Pro Bowl linebacker with a battering ram. Each would be used to [b]break down a thick, locked door.[/b]

Lewis filmed the show -- now in its second season -- in July in Los Angeles. He didn't get paid and stayed out on the field for six hours, said John Brenkus, creator and host of the series.

(The co-creator and co-executive producer is Mickey Stern, a Baltimore native.)

"It's literally a program that people do for free," he said. "By Season 2, everyone in the sports community had seen Sport Sciene. ... The sell just gets easier as the show goes on."

I'll admit to not having seen the show before receiving a preview DVD, but, as my 12-year-old self would have said, it's pretty neat -- measurements of force, super slow motion from all angles.

But what about the risk of injury? (I checked with the Ravens, and a spokesman said [b]the team had no idea Lewis did this[/b].)

"The athletes are in such incredible shape, and we take every precaution," Brenkus said. "Where you get hurt is when you're not actually going full speed."

And they do go all out, he said.

(SPOILER ALERT!)

Lewis certainly went all out. The battering ram, wielded by a SWAT veteran, busted the lock and the door swung open. [b]Lewis the human battering ram, in full football uniform, got a running start, lowered his shoulder and knocked the whole door in -- lock, hinges and all.[/b] He went flying, landing on the door."



I'll post footage as soon as I get it up on youtube.

It says in the post the team knew nothing of it, they would never have allowed it otherwise.

Awesomesauce.

Police: "Ok, come out with your hands up!"

Fugitive: "Not a chance coppers!"

Police: "Ok, we're going to send in Ray Lewis then."

Fugitive: "Oh no! I'll come out peacefully."

Police: "Thanks Ray. Another caper conquered due to your deliriously destructive door-stomping."

Ray: "I do what I can."

Too funny.

But they wouldn't have had to show Ray actually tackling a door for me to know it would be better just to open it myself!

I was a little disappointed to turn onto my local Comcast SportsNet affiliate (out of Philly) and didn't see the show at all. I waited until 11PM for nothing!

[Sizzle]

No, I meant, I waited around for the start time at 11PM, and another show came on instead. Just a local Philly sports roundtable show.
