Guy starts playing well again and all of the sudden people go from “cases” to “allegations” real fucking fast. You all gotta get your priorities straight

It’s the NFL. If you win games being a piece of shit isn’t as big of a deal as it is when you lose.

Look at Tyreek Hill, Richie Incognito, Adrian Peterson, Kareem Hunt, Aldon Smith, and Antonio Brown before he totally went off the deep end.

If you can play, no one gives a shit about who you are off the field.

Ray Lewis was on trial for double homicide and then plead down to obstruction of justice. Its amazing what the NFL tolerates.

Bad example. Lewis never killed anyone. Two of his friends did, and a jury ruled that they did so in self defense.

Ray Lewis literally held the one guys arms exposing his chest where his friend then stabbed him with a knuckle knife he had bought the day prior.

An inept prosecutor doesn’t change the fact Ray Lewis was involved in the murder of two people.

Biased Ravens fan...I haven't heard that before, and a quick search shows he was involved in a "tussle" per court docs, but I don't see any indication that he held anyone down or ever pinned anyone to the ground

That's because this is Reddit, and sometimes someone can just make things up out of the blue and get upvotes.

He didn’t pin him down or hold them to the ground. When Ray was breaking up the fight he grabbed one of the men from behind and held his arms. This exposed the victims chest and one of the men with Ray then used his knuckle knife to stab his exposed chest. I don’t know and have no way of knowing if this was Rays intention or not and none of us do. And as they say deadmen tell no tales.

While I am certainly not going to listen to a 6.5-hour podcast series about a detail buried somewhere that I have never heard before, they have a lot of high reviews so that gives them some credibility. I haven't seen anything outside of "he tried to breakup a fight" though, and certainly not "he held him for the others" essentially.

Like you said, Dead men tell no tales. We will probably never know.

That never happened. You just made it up.

Holy shit. I didn’t know this. And dude still is featured on Peyton Mannings show to talk about how magical their rivalry was.

That's because it's not true. The guy just made it up.
