TO taunts Ray Lewis (1 Viewer)

[Banger]

all the TO haters are lameass. So the guy celebrates and gives people something to talk about. He plays his guts out, and constantly finds ways to excel in the limelight that he has partially cast on himself. He may not be YOUR type of personality, but everyone must admit he brings serious game to the table and is the best WR in the game right now (due to a certain someone's injury)TO isn't half the ###-clown Ray Lewis is. That guy never stops talking ####. TO celebrates after he has done something to help his team win, which is every week. He is a true competitor and the KING of the endzone celebration. People who say he is bad for the game are really just saying they don't like his personality. The truth is he is one of the biggest stars in a league loaded with them, and they come in all different packages. I for one respect a guy who has the guts to say whatever he wants to the media, cause a stir, and then go out on Sunday and light people up. He has clearly won the respect of his new teammates, and Reid loves the guy.Safe to say those people who said he would be "cancer" and that he "may" be a top ten WR this year were living out of their head. Philly is the best team in the league because of TO, and it can no longer be denied. I love the guy.

I don't mind TO, as I've said, but why do you refer to Ray Lewis as an ### clown?Because he talks a lot of trash ON THE FIELD? He is very respectful off the field. On the field, he is only trying to help his team win. He intimidates other players by talking trash...he doesn't do it to be a jerk. He does it because it helps his team win.TO does stuff just for publicity. Talking #### about Garcia and all of the end zone celebrations are done just to promote himself.

I disagree. TO's trash talking gives his team confidence, they said as much going into the Carolina game. You don't think his teammates were pumped after that play?

That dance was just flawless. As an Eagles hater, that was just awesome. Big props to TO this week, even if I'm not a fan.

I can't STAND Owens - I think he's a not-very-bright, egotistical, ball hog who cries when he doesn't see the ball.That said, I think his showmanship is something his teammates get fired up around, and something that fans of his team love to see.And, like Chase, I thought the dance was perfect, perfectly timed, and hilarious. If Ray Lewis was really offended by it and really called TO a coward after the game, he needs to find himself a new sport. In-your-face-manship is part of the game of professional football. Always has been. And Ray Lewis is one of the biggest poo-talkers on the field. He deserves some of his own medicine - I am fairly sure the QBs and RBs he's tackled don't appreciate him dancing over them afterwards.

Agree with every word. I don't like TO, but I despise Lewis and the constant, fawning love that's now shown to him despite the fact that he protected two murderers in his own limo. Screw 'em.

Your close personal friends who have been with you before you were rich and famous make a terrible mistake and murder somone. The police suddenly come knock on your door and ask you about it. In the heat of the moment, you decide to be loyal to your friends and say you have no idea about any of it(even though you know they are guilty). A day later, you decide to do the smart(and right) thing and confess what you know.That makes him that bad of a person? He was being loyal to his friends in the heat of the moment- a very tough situation. Let me ask you: If your mom or your brother or your close friend from childhood was accused of murder, would you suddenly go tell the cops that hes guilty? Its a tough decision.

I'm very surprised Lewis didn't lay Owens out at some point in the game.

The whole "respect" thing they have going in the NFL and then Owens does that to Lewis?

It surprised me just as Owens doing his "showing up" episode on the Dallas star a few years ago. And as when Owens was nailed when he did it the second time, it made me think "Here we go again!"

I just think it was stupid of Owens because there was so much time left in the game for him to get pasted.

I'm a huge Ray Lewis fan, but I never really got this 'he hits so hard' thing. Yes, he has some great hits. But in my opinion, Ray Lewis is more of a perfect form tackle and alwasy be in the right position type of guy. Lavar Arrington.....thats a guy that will lay you out.Now, I'm obvioulsy not suggesting that Ray Lewis can't seriously hurt someone...but I don't think hes any more fierce than 10 other defensive players in the league that I could name.

Football is as much about emotion and willing oneself to be better than your opponent as it is Xs and Os. Owens wasn't being stupid, he was showing absolutely no fear; something that most players can't or won't do in the face of Ray Lewis and that Baltimore defense. If you think intimidation isn't a HUGE component of what makes the Ravens (and their field general) successful, you haven't been watching the same game I have these many years.

agreed

 

[Gargoylez]

Classic Owens.Or I should say Classless Owens.Could care less really, owens on the feild is amazing, and the rest of him is a ****pile IMO.Kinda like MeShawn.

 

[Billy Bats]

Ray Ray is just mad 'cause TO did his dance better than he does!!! I was worried about TO though, thought Ray might be sharpening the knives on the bench after he seen that one!! That was a classic, was still laughing about it hours later. I'd much rather see TO do a dance after scoring a td, than see Big Tuff Ray stand up and celebrate when he tackles Levens after a 5 yard gain. Which one is more ridiculous?

see my last post....Celebrating because you're honestly excited that you just helped your team VS pre planning a way to make yourself stand out above your teamates.

Scoring a TD isn't helping your team?! That's the best way to contribute! My point is, I was refererring to Ray Ray because he's in the discussion, but I loathe any player who celebrates after a tackle (especially after a gain of yards, even moreso when they're losing by 14), a first down catch, etc. Yes even Owens flapped his wings and pulled an Irvin after a first down yesterday, that's just stupid ####. To me that stuff is more ridiculous than dancing after a TD.

THE RAVENS DEFENSE GOT THE BETTER OF THE EAGLES OFFENSE YESTERDAY!

Please see your sig: I yet again failed to understand there are two sides to the ball: Defense AND Offense.

However, lets not act as if TO and the Eagles offense outplayed Ray and the Ravens defense because that is clearly not the case. Despite amazing field position, they only scored 15 points, well under their season average.

All that means is the Baltimore DST was the best they have faced up until this point. Any other conclusion would be incredulous.You are really off your rocker here -j.

That is like saying you should like a bittchy woman just because she is good looking.

I don't see the flaw in that logic.

Well, maybe this'll help - you should still be trying to get in her pants - but you shouldn't LIKE her simply b/c she's good looking.

but you shouldn't LIKE her simply b/c she's good looking.

Terrell Owens is good.He crosses the line when not needed.

 

[suchislife]

From an ESPN article:

Lewis, who laid one hit on Owens among his nine tackles, was not particularly amused.

"I didn't see it, not at all," said Lewis, who had to have escaped Lincoln Financial Field unnoticed for 10 minutes to have missed the replays on both the stadium's Jumbotrons. "If you're going to play a football game, don't be a coward and wait until you make one play and do something. Just play football.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?id=1913565

And Ray responds by calling Owens a coward? So TO scores the game winning touchdown and Lewis waits till he's in the locker room and calls him a coward...



Last I checked, TO does his talking before the game - you know when he still has to face his opponent on the field, not from the saftey of the locker room after getting beat. Low class, Ray-Ray. Hey Ray-Ray, next time try keeping him out of the endzone. And I like that comment - "make one play"!? Guess Lewis missed the other 7 catches for 90 yards. Maybe when he gets to watch the game film he'll realize TO was a much bigger factor in the game then he was.

The Eagles scored one touchdown.Yes, the Eagles won the game, but that was because of the Ravens lack of offense.

The Eagles started their first few drives already acrossed the Ravens 50!!

THE RAVENS DEFENSE GOT THE BETTER OF THE EAGLES OFFENSE YESTERDAY!

Now, yes I realize that the end score is all that matters. I realize this. However, lets not act as if TO and the Eagles offense outplayed Ray and the Ravens defense because that is clearly not the case. Despite amazing field position, they only scored 15 points, well under their season average.

And I'll ask you; when it mattered most - who scored the game winning TD? TO had over 100 yds and the game winning TD. A great performance by any standard. The fact that Lewis - a all time great trash talker and spotlight grabber in his own right - is calling a player a coward while in the safety of his locker room? After getting beat by said coward? After he had his chances to man-up on the field?? Tell me, what did Lewis do yesterday to make an impact on the game?

 

[LAUNCH]

"If you're going to play a football game, don't be a coward and wait until you make one play and do something. Just play football.

I like both Ray & T.O. and thought this dance was classic. This kind of comment from Ray is a bit disingenous as he was so proud of himself for clearing everyone away from Deion so he could do his dance the week before.LAUNCH

 

[jwvdcw]

Stuff like that is why I cancelled my NFL ticket last year. I have told the NFL by mail that I cancelled my ticket and I have also stopped buying NFL merchandise. I am still watching though and I still love football. I still play FF. Mark my words 10 years from now the NFL will be what the NBA is now. A joke. I hate writing this and it really bothers me to see something I love so much going down the ####ter.

I can't stand it when a player does nothing all day, then celebrates on the field with a first down catch while his team is down 20 points like he just won he freakin Lombardi.But what T.O. did today was totally different. He stepped up and made a huge play - like he as been doing all year - and used it to fire up his team and the crowd. It is a perfect example of a player living up to his mouth. He was personally challenged by Ray Lewis, the Ravens team, and all the T.O. haters out there and he has proven them (and me) wrong about his skills and desire.As far as the NFL going the way of the NBA, I don't see it. The problem with the NBA is that their primary motivation is marketing and pushing their product, trying to find the next Michael Jordan that will make them billions, instead of actually delivering a good product to the fans. They seized on the attitude and showboating present in their key market segment and hyped it to new levels, creating a positive feedback loop that has gotten out of control.The NFL has taken the opposite route. With the TV contract/salary cap/revenue sharing deal/playoff system they have focused on delivering a competitive, entertaining product to their audience. And as always, a quality product will earn you more money, something that most TV/movie/record execs fail to realize.You watch the commercials for the NBA and look at what they project. They hype individual players, how cool they are, how amazing their skills are. You watch teh commercials for the NFL and you see the sport, teams, and rivalries. If you do see players, 9 times out of 10 they are focused on their off the field work and/or making fun of them.Yes, you are right in that you do see more taunting and childish acts in the NFL. But IMHO in the NFL they are FAR FAR outweighed by the likes of Peyton Manning, Priest Holmes, Ray Lewis, Marvin Harrison and many other players who put the game and winning first and their merchandising deals second.

Ok, obviously I'm a big R Lewis fan. But I really don't dislike TO at all. I think hes a good guy. However, I think we need to make a distinction:Getting fired up because you make a good play and jumping up and down, yelling, and celebrating. This is a natural reaction that you ahve because you're excited. Ray Lewis does this all the time.Doing a pre-planned dance or routine. This is not a 'heat of the moment' celebration. This is delibrately used to promote yourself over your team. Its used to make you stand out. This is what TO does.Now, as I said, I don't dislike TO. However, I do think its wrong to include R Lewis among the group of showboaters like TO, Joe Horn, etc.

It wasn't like TO caught a 10 yard pass for a first down in a blowout and then did the dance. It was the 4th qtr in a tight home game after much smack had been thrown both ways between TO and the Ravens (dating to the preseason) and he makes a great individual effort and seals the game to stay undefeated. I would say it was an emotional play and while the dance was rehearsed the timing was appropriate due to the circumstances. Ray talks smack with the best of them. Does anyone remember that super classy move last year mocking Porter in the Steelers game after Porter was shot in the preseason. Please don't cry for Ray. He was embaressed and he should be, TO got the best of him and his Ravens. After all the drama and talk resulting from the trade, he torched them in the preseason on the first play of the game and he beat them again when it really counted. I think what Ray is really mad about is that he probably knows that TO could have been the difference on his team.

As I said in one of my previous posts...the Ravens defense actually outplayed the Eagles offense.And yes it was a big play...so I don't have a problem with him going crazy and being happy...I do have a slight(I don't think its all that big of a deal, and I still like him really) problem with him pre planning a celebration because it shows that he wants INDIVIDUAL attention.

 

[jwvdcw]

On the field, he is only trying to help his team win. He intimidates other players by talking trash...he doesn't do it to be a jerk. He does it because it helps his team win.

sorry, but :blindhomer: You dont think Ray-Ray uses his on the field spotlight to improve him image? Mad Ray Kool-Aid here.JAA

I honestly believe that Ray Lewis is just emotional and pumped up. I don't think he pre plans any celebration or anything like that.

 

[jwvdcw]

Ray should just shut his trap and take his medicine. All Ray-Ray and his top ranked DST said coming into the season was "What did TO do last time we played, why should I care about to .... 4 for 23" or something along those lines.If you give it, expect to take it at some point.JAA

15 points. Their first few possessions started on the Raven's side of the 50. Yes, the Eagles won. But the Eagles offense did not get the better of the Ravens defense.

Of course he helped his team by scoring the TD. I'm merely talking about the celebration. He didn't score, become overcome with joy and excitement, and then celebrate out of pure emotion...thats why Ray Lewis does. TO, on the other hand, rehearsed a dance to make himself stand out above everyone else.

Yes, the EAGLES beat the RAVENS because there are two(actually three) sides to the game.However, Ray Lewis does not play offense and TO does not play defense. So when comparing them and how their units played, we can only compare how the Eagles offense and Raven's defense played.

The Eagles had multiple possessions starting inside the 50 yard line...they only scored 15 points. The Ravens defense outplayed the Eagle's offense.

What did Lewis do on the field? He helped his team hold a great Eagles' offense to 15 points despite often having amazing field position. Thats a great performance. You can't fault Ray or the Raven's defense for their poor offense. Nor can you credit TO or the Eagle's offense for the great play of their defense.

 

[jwvdcw]

I honestly can't believe that some of you can't understand my point....If Team A beats Team B does that mean that Team A beat Team B in every facet of the game? Of course not! I believe that the Ravens defense soundly outplayed the Eagles offense. The Eagles outplayed them in every other facet of the game, especially special teams, which regularly rewarded them with great field position.

 

[Big Sug]

I like football celebrations and think they should be legal in almost all circumstances, and I myself like to dance. And I've always thought that the "Ray Lewis Dance" is about the most idiotic, stupid-looking imitation of a female gorilla going into labor that i've ever seen. It's just putrid. I mean, what the F IS that?!If Owens' goal was to show Lewis just how stupid he looks, big props.

We understand your point clearly you whiny tool.Who cares if the Ravens' defense outplayed the Eagles' offense? The Eagles' defense outplayed the Ravens' offense. In fact, the Ravens' offense is very offensive, while the Eagles' defense is quite impressive. And the Eagles scored more points than the Ravens. It's that simple, not very hard to figure out - unless you're getting away with murder.

Thank you.So, the Eagles beat the Ravens...but in the only part of the game that they can actually control, Ray Lewis' unit actually outplayed TO's unit....Everyone was acting as if TO totally tore apart the Raven's defense and that they were dominant. But actually Ray Lewis and the defense outplayed them!

Ok, thank you for at least trying to see my point.You can call it whatever you want...but to have your offense and special teams totally give a team great field position and then to hold them to 15 points is a great defensive performance imo. Slowed? Ok, I'm fine if thats the word you want to use to describe it....but I was only saying all of this in retaliation to those previous posts that acted as if TO totally won the battle and dominated the Ravens...I'll bump those posts if you wish, so you can see why I'm bringing up this issue.

 

[4thAndForever]

T.O. His celebrations alone are worth the price of admission

Agreed:TOs Sharpie, Ray Lewis Mock Dance, Throwing the Football at the TO has BO sign, Ripping down the "It takes one to know one sign", Joe Horns Cell Phone, Chad Johnson's pulling the sign out of the snow etc are all worth the price of admission.

See, I hate Owens, Chad Johnson, and Horn because they are all hotdogs.However, I give Owens credit because at least what he does is amusing. The Sharpie, the Ray Lewis dance, the Dallas Cowboys star, and even the pom-poms all got a smile out of me. Chad Johnson and Joe Horn just try too hard, and their antics are just dumb. I really can't explain the difference. Maybe ONLY Owens should be allowed to celebrate like that.

 

[larry_boy_44]

I'm very surprised Lewis didn't lay Owens out at some point in the game.

The whole "respect" thing they have going in the NFL and then Owens does that to Lewis?

It surprised me just as Owens doing his "showing up" episode on the Dallas star a few years ago.  And as when Owens was nailed when he did it the second time, it made me think "Here we go again!"

I just think it was stupid of Owens because there was so much time left in the game for him to get pasted.

Football is as much about emotion and willing oneself to be better than your opponent as it is Xs and Os. Owens wasn't being stupid, he was showing absolutely no fear; something that most players can't or won't do in the face of Ray Lewis and that Baltimore defense. If you think intimidation isn't a HUGE component of what makes the Ravens (and their field general) successful, you haven't been watching the same game I have these many years.

Emotion, Jason? That's BS because there is no way Owens "spontaneously" did that dance. As was stated in an earlier post in this thread, he had to have practiced it to get it down like that. There was no emotion involved.And I would have thought the same thing if it was Owens imitating Deion Sanders dance and no one is afraid of Sanders. It's that you're setting yourself up to get blasted because someone on the other team could say "F this! He's not doing that to me/my teammate!"

And I think I've been watching the games these same many years, thank you very much. (Can't let the condescending comment go by without calling you out on it.)

but he didn't just imitate Lewis because Lewis is Lewis...he imitated Lewis because of the whole SF/Balt/Philly thing... He imitated Lewis because of the stuff that has been said... He imitated Lewis 'cuz Lewis is #1 and Lewis and his "best defense in the league" couldn't stop him from getting in the endzone...

Yes, he planned it, but there were reasons and strong emotions behind the planning...

 

[phrozen]

Its too bad Philly did not trade for Pinner after Westbrook went down. I mean I am sure he would have rushed for 250 yards and 4 TDs against the Ravens....

 

[waylander]

Me and my buddies play football every year when we get some snow for our annual "Snow Bowl" and being completely obnoxious when we make a play is standard practice. We all did it as kids, then in high school and it just continues on. I don't see the harm in it for big plays, but it does get to be excessive in the NFL. What TO did I liked because it was throwing something back at Ray Lewis, who never runs out of things to say. The biggest shame, is what TO said about Ozzie Newsome.On a side note, I do believe that TO will be most remembered for his antics and not his statistics, which has been incredible. And that is a bit disheartening.

TO was on Sportscenter today responding to Ray Lewis. He was wearing a "I love TO" shirt." :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

And btw, I understand saying 'no comment', but does Coach Reid really expect us to believe "I really didn't see it, but all of our players usually celebrate after a TD so I have no problem with it."

Heard something on sportscenter which questioned while Ray Lewis would call TO a coward...when it was Ray Lewis who mocked and imitated Joey Porter's dance.
