Some might have thought the Raven’s loss to the Patriots could have meant the end of Ray Lewis’ brilliant career, however the veteran middle linebacker says he will return for another season.
“Is this my last time as a Raven?” Lewis said. “Absolutely not.”
On paper, Ray Lewis turns 37 in May of this year. During the season, Ray Lewis finally looked human, missing four games dealing with turf toe. If all goes as plan Lewis will be entering his 17th season in the NFL. Let me remind you folks, that all of those years have been with the Ravens. Lewis has been the face of the franchise in Baltimore and from what it looks like, he will remain the driving heart and soul of next years unit.
The savvy veteran still shows the capability as a leader off the field and on the field, as he led the Ravens with 12 tackles against the Patriots. Mid thirties or not, Ray Lewis still has the fire in him to help lead the Ravens towards the future.
“For us to be here now, I’m hungry again and I’m thirsty again,” Lewis said. “Every time you go through something like this, it has to drive you. I truly believe that’s the only thing that makes people great. It’s not the ones who always winning that people remember. It’s the ones who go through tough times.”

Ray Lewis Flirts With Retirement

Say it aint so…Ray Lewis is hinting at a retirement.
Well there is a slight catch to that statement, with that being said the Baltimore Ravens would have to win the Superbowl in 2012.
As long as The Baltimore Ravens have been afloat, their captain running the ship has been Ray Lewis. After an interview with CBSSports.com, Ravens fans might be presented with the reality that Lewis would take a step off the football field if the Ravens do win the whole thing.
Its been a long time since the year 2000, when the Ravens last won a superbowl. The Ravens have had Seven winning seasons since then, and the last time they made it to the AFC title was back in 2008 where they lost to the Steelers, who eventually won it all.
“My son will be a junior this year,” Lewis told reporter Mike Freeman. “I only play this game for another ring. If we can win it this year, and I’m being brutally honest with you, if we win it this year, I’m gone to then spend as much time as I can with him. I’m gone to be with my son. And I feel like now we have enough pieces in place to make a good run at the Super Bowl.”
Winning a super bowl ring seems to be the only motivating force right now to make Lewis think retirement, however what happens if he doesn’t win a Super Bowl this year? Does the 2013 season become an option for Ray Lewis or does being a full time family man take precedence?
