BALTIMORE RAVEN RAY LEWIS A 1ST BALLOT PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAMER!!

TODAY, FORMER BALTIMORE RAVEN LB RAY LEWIS WAS ELECTED TO THE PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME IN FIRST YEAR OF ELIGIBILITY!  THE BEST MIDDLE LINEBACKER IN NFL HISTORY HAD A 17 YEAR CAREER AND WON 2 SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN BALTIMORE!  NUMBER 52 WAS A 2X DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AND SUPER BOWL 35 MVP.  WHAT SEPARATED HIM FROM EVERYONE ELSE:  HIS ABILITY TO PLAY ALL 4 DOWNS AS A  MLB AND HIS SIDELINE TO SIDELINE COVERAGE.  MOREOVER, HIS INTENSITY AND LEADERSHIP ABILITY WERE UNPARALLELED FOR THE RAVENS!  THE TEAM HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME SINCE HE LEFT AND I WILL BE ON THE RECORD TO SAY THEY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!  NO DIFFERENCE MAKERS ON THE TEAM AND A GENERAL APATHY WITH THOUSANDS OF NO-SHOWS FOR THE FINAL 2 HOME GAMES LAST SEASON! AFTER HIS RETIREMENT, THE TEAM IS 40-40 AND HAS BEEN ON A DOWNWARD SLIDE!  CONGRATULATIONS TO RAY ON ELECTION, AND NEXT YEAR FORMER RAVEN ED REED WILL BE A 1ST BALLOT HALL OF FAMER FOR THE CLASS OF 2019!
