Two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and 12-time Pro Bowler for the Baltimore Ravens, Ray Lewis, will officially join ESPN as a NFL studio analyst. Lewis, who ended his legendary career after leading his Ravens to winning the Super Bowl in his final NFL game, will join Stuart Scott, Steve Young, & Trent Dilfer by traveling to the site of each week’s Monday Night Football game where he will offer analysis during the pre-game Countdown and post-game SportsCenter. Lewis will contribute to Sunday NFL Countdown throughout the season and make a weekly appearance on ESPN Radio’s Mike and Mike in the Morning. “ESPN is such a big part of how fans watch and experience sports, especially the NFL, so I’m excited to join their team,” Lewis said in a press release. “I’m ready to bring the same level of passion to this next phase of my life as I brought to the field during my years as a player. I can’t wait to work with my new teammates, many of whom I’ve already known for years.” The 17-year NFL veteran will also have the opportunity to host specials similar to Jon Gruden’s QB Camp series. He is expected to start on August 1.

. . , , , , , , ,

Looks like Soulja Boy got a W last night, too. The “Turn My Swag On” rapper claims he bet $200,000 on the Baltimore Ravens, who won Super Bowl XLVII last night. Soulja Boy was a passenger in Sean Kingston‘s whip when he revealed that he picked the team not just because of Ray Lewis‘ defense of Joe Flacco‘s precision quarter backing. But because he uses the team on the Madden NFL 13 video game.

Reports TMZ:

Soulja was hanging out with Sean Kingston in L.A. last night after the game … and explained why he felt so confident bettin’ on the birds. It’s pretty solid logic. So what’s he gonna do with his winnings? The 22-year-old says he plans on dividing the money between his retirement account and a low-risk mutual fund … JUST KIDDING HE’S GONNA BLOW IT ON SOMETHING REALLY EXPENSIVE!!!!

Wife Of Patriots WR Wes Welker Calls Ray Lewis A Murderer In Facebook Rant

. . , , , , , , ,

Not everybody is happy for future NFL Hall Of Famer, Ray Lewis, is getting his final game in the Super Bowl. You can start right across the field of his opponents last night. The hate wasn’t coming from an actual opposing player, which would be understandable, it is coming from an opposing player’s wife. New England Patriots Pro Bowl wide receiver, Wes Welker, played a good game last night despite dropping a big pass that would’ve turned the game. His wife, Anna Burns Welker,  took to Facebook after his playoff run ended to congratulate him on a great season but to toss some dirt on Ray’s name.  ”Proud of my husband and the Pats,” Burns Welker wrote. “By the way, if anyone is bored, please go to Ray Lewis’ Wikipedia page. 6 kids, 4 wives. Acquitted for murder. Paid a family off. Yay. What a hall of fame player! A true role model!” Lewis announced prior to the playoffs that this upcoming playoff run would be his last. The linebacker, was on trial for murder in 2000, took a plea deal and was found guilty of Obstruction of Justice. The following year, he took his Ravens to their first and only Super Bowl victory as the game’s MVP. Lewis will get a chance to finish his career in a similar fashion while Welker will wonder if he is still a Patriot after the season as his contract is up. #SucksToBeAPatsFan.
