Even the most die-hard Baltimore Ravens fan has to admit Ray Lewis' speeches were a little, um, overboard at times. Not questioning his intent, but there were some comical times amongst Lewis' screams, shouts, dances and muttering to himself.
Even Joe Flaccothought so.
"Oh, it's funny," the Ravens quarterback told USA Today on Saturday. "His speeches come from the heart, but there's definitely times where I'm sitting there kind of chuckling to myself. It's all good. There's nobody that's more passionate about what he does than that guy.
"So you just sit back and take it all in, but there's times where he says some stuff and you're like, 'Man I don't know what that meant, but I like how he said it.' "
There were times when Lewis started to preach and you wanted to suit up yourself. But admit it, there were times it was all a bit much ...
(By the way, is it just me or has Flacco been a lot more outspoken since signing his $120.6 million contract? Someone might be feeling the comfort of a Super Bowl win and financial security.)
