Welkers wife slams Ray Lewis on Facebook
"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!" http://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon...lewis/1851907/ |

They're not identical, but I also don't think they are as dissimilar as you suggest. Plus, the guys that he testified against were actually acquitted on an account of self defense. I'm not saying that Lewis isn't culpable, though.

I've always given Ray the OJ judgement. Mentioned it to someone who was a Ravens fan and he was shocked at my opinion - that Ray got away with murder or covering up a murder. So was looking it up to make sure I wasn't missing any details. Nope. Still skated by covering up a murder. And in doing so, surely helped get his buddies off as well. Disgusting human being. And an all around phoney and fraud. Good for her for calling him out and and unfortunate that her remarks lead the media to calling her own character into question rather than to the media reminding the public about the true nature of Ray's character. |

Not being religious myself, I've always balked at anyone using their camera time from sporting successes to proselytize. But I've always respected most of them as honest people. Kurt Warner was the first one that felt like he was proselytizing when he was on camera. But that guy was sincere. He was a high character guy. Ray Lewis is a fraud now and a garbage human being for what he did and for not taking ownership and responsibility for actions. Screw him. |

its absolutely amazing how this guy was an absolute thug and hated in the 90s
and somehow in the 2000s was able to use the media, technology, the league, video games, you name it to rebuild his image and his own brand and make him one the faces/role models of the NFL for a young generation it's like the 1990s never happened and that era of the NFL never existed lol. Whoever Ray Lewis's PR guy is over the years is a smart person |

I wonder how many people actually know the story surrounding those murders. Lewis didn't kill anyone, and by the majority of witness accounts, he was trying to avoid any confrontation at all.
Even the guys that were charged with the murders were aquitted despite Lewis testifying against them.

Hey she was just posting something that was true and reminding everyone that having 6 kids with 4 wifes and having something strongly to do with killing someone is not good.
I have zero problems with her reminding everyone about it. He reminds us everytime he plays how he is blessed from god over and over, she should be able to point this out. good for her, its good to see people take stands like that. |

I don't consider settling civil suits an indication of anything other than a lawyer advising him of the safest solution. People are entitled to their opinion. But anyone calling him a murderer is ignorant of the facts, or being intentionally obnoxious.

I'm not calling him a murder but I am being intentionally obnoxious. Being a party to murder/manslaughter/self-defense and knocking up a bunch of ladies aside, he is a pretty nice guy and he's obviously learned from some of his mistakes. I would rather players would just all fans to judge them by their results on the field rather than leaving all kinds of fodder in their wake. I realize that is asking a lot but it's really not. Don't be a complete douchebag, don't shoot or stab anybody, wrap that rascal, and pay your bills.

Wes Welker should be pissed, all she accomplished was putting a target on him next time they play Baltimore. Lewis may be gone, but I'll bet Ed Reed and Bernard Pollard will have something for Welker.
