A few media getting tired of his act:

But this crying, praying, quoting Scripture and dropping to his knees during the past two games has gone too far.

I believe Lewis is serious about his show of emotion. I will never question his commitment to Christianity or his love for God.

But I've watched Lewis for 17 years, and while he is the ultimate team guy, he is also the ultimate "I" guy. He loves his fellow players, but Ray Lewis loves him some Ray Lewis, which is why he talks about himself in the third person.

He likes the theater and loves to be a showman, but when is enough, enough?

Even within the past week, more Baltimore fans are being turned off by his behavior as the network cameras zoom in. Microphones and recorders collect his every word even though we're not sure what he is talking about at times.

It's funny and it's sad.

Instead, can't we see more of Joe Flacco, who is having a great postseason? How about Anquan Boldin, the unsung hero of the playoffs? Maybe there can be more stories and pictures about the offensive line, which has been the key to the Ravens' resurgence down the stretch.

Instead, we get Lewis in private moments that should remain that way. If the networks don't believe it, then just watch the skit from "SNL." Lewis is now on par with Sarah Palin.

He deserves better, but he can't turn himself off when the cameras' red lights are on. The Ray Lewis Show has had good ratings for 17 years.

One of the best plays Matt has ever made.
