Message: [QUOTE="AirForceOrange, post: 521717, member: 1668"] Just read an article about Ray Lewis being asked questions by Shannon Sharpe in relation to the double murders, here are some of his comments/replies: "It’s simple," Lewis said when Sharpe asked him what he would say to the families. "God has never made a mistake. That’s just who He is, you see. And if our system – it’s the sad thing about our system – if our system took the time to really investigate what happened 13 years ago, maybe they would have got to the bottom line truth. But the saddest thing ever was that a man looked me in my face and told me, ‘We know you didn’t do this, but you’re going down for it anyway.’ To the family, if you knew, if you really knew the way God works, he don’t use people who commits anything like that for His glory. No way. It’s the total opposite." [U][B]- So he is blaming God, the system and the family for not knowing how God works?!?! WOW!!![/B][/U] If Sharpe asked any foll0w-up questions about what Lewis did know about what happened, or who told him he was "going down for it," they weren't shown. The next question was Sharpe asking about a financial settlement Lewis reached with the families. "The one thing I said that, because my name was used the wrong way, money is the last thing I’m worried about, but if money will help those kids out – and not just those kids but any kid I can help, any family I can support, I’ll support," Lewis said to Sharpe. "So don’t just take that family and say I gave money to that family, because I’ve given money to thousands of families time and time again, just to find a different way to help somebody through a rough time." [U][B]- So he is turning this around to make himself look better...WOW!!![/B][/U] Also credit CBS analyst Boomer Esiason for bringing up what wasn't said in the interview. Esiason mentioned Lewis' "complex legacy" and was challenged by Sharpe on set to clarify what that meant. "He was involved in a double murder and I’m not so sure he gave us all the answers we were looking for," Esiason said. "He knows what went on there. He can obviously just come out and say it. He doesn’t want to say it. He paid off the families – I get all that, that’s fine. But that doesn’t take away from who he is as a football player. I appreciate you going down there and asking him that direct question. I'm not so sure I buy the answer." [U][B]- Good for Boomer...He had the courage to say what I am sure a lot of other media people are saying, but afraid to say so as not to tarnish or go against the great Ray Lewis...Boomer gained a bunch of points there to me!![/B][/U] Full article here: [url]http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/ray-lewis-addresses-families-two-slain-men-2000-224326545--nfl.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
