Re: Can I Be a Skins Fan and a Ray Lewis Fan?
 

[quote=ArtMonkDrillz;602985]I thought his and most of the ravens' post game comments yesterday came across as whining. [B]It seems like that's their MO when they lose, blame the officials.[/B] Did they bitch about the refs not calling them for delay of game when they beat the Titans in the playoffs last year? No, they probably just chalked it up to human error and gladly accepted the win.

Yes, Ray Lewis is an amazing football player, and I suppose he does a good job of motivating his teammates but he annoys the hell out of me for his bitching when things don't go his way and the amount of trash he talks when things do. Plus, there was that whole murder thing.[/quote]

Their fans do it too. My best friend is a Ravens fan and she immediately blamed the officiating on their loss.

I wanted to say "Come on, take your lumps just like the Skins fans do, it's not so hard." ;)

[quote=Mattyk72;603251]Ray Ray is a baller no doubt. Definitely first ballot HOF. Nothing wrong with liking players on other teams. I love watching guys like Peyton, Favre, Tomlinson, Peterson, etc. Heck I even own jerseys of some of these guys.[/quote]

Guilty here I own a Ray Lewis Jersey I know a Eagles fan that Owns a Portis jersey too its quite funny

No...but he tried to be. :)

There is no shame in appreciating incredible talent and wanting to see certain players do well. But it is confusing when you root for different teams. Take for instance last night. I care nothing about the Vikings or the Packers, but I did enjoy seeing Favre sticking it to his old team. Jared Allen is a beast. I'm wandering the whole time, how come the Skins didn't try to sign him as a free agent over Jason Taylor. Adrian Peterson...I enjoy watching him anytime. Watching him is like watching Barry Sanders and Jim Brown wrapped into one player...you got to appreciate great talent. Wish they played for the Skins.

The Skins could have drafted Adrian Peterson but they selected LaRon Landry when they already had Sean Taylor...uwe!

[quote=skinsfan69;603085]if you're a football fan then how can you not like and respect what ray does? he's a true leader and a warrior. i also love the way balt. plays defense.[/quote]

This is how I see it. I'm also a fan of Ed Reed. Why? I am a Miami Hurricanes fan AND a Redskins fan. Miami has given the Skins many great players, but other teams too. I just can't suddenly hate college players I rooted for because they're not on the Skins.

Now if they're on an NFC East rival...yeah I'll root against them, at least when they play the Skins.
