Alaskan Grizzly Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 So, as much as I despise the guy, Ray Lewis announced he is going to retire after the playoffs. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/...,0,959581.story Oddly enough I used him as a prime example for my teenage kid on how players that are good at what they do build up and sustain intensity for a game. Of course I realize that most players have their own routines but Lewis without question is one of the most visible when it comes to his intensity. For that I thank him and for what appears to be a dedicated player to the sport I cherish. So, why post that here on a Bears board? I heard earlier this year that if the Bears were to have made the Super Bowl, Urlacher said he would have retired. I wonder if he still is considering that? Or will he wait until after the new coach is brought in and assess whether he thinks the team will contend next season? Or will he persue the FA market to see if other fans boo their teams?

I believe hes going to wait til new coach is hired and assess where we are then. Although i believe he will be back on either a 1 or 2 yr deal as i think we will stick with the 4-3 D at least for now as we don't have the personel to run a 3-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorbear Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I said in another post that if I were him I would go and play for N.E. I think that would be the best chance for him to get a ring. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madlithuanian Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I have no idea what's in store for Url. What he wants or what the team wants... I really would love him to stick around w/o handcuffing the team financially. But, I'm prepared to go on regardless. Lewis is a sure fire HOF'er. He played w/ and intensity rivalled by few. He played like Lambert, Buktus, Singletary... I will miss seeing his highlights. The biggest compliment I can give him is that he played like a Bear.

'TD' Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 He and Hester can hang out and do whatever retired football players do together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Good luck to him. Great player. At least the Bears won't have to face him next year. Hell, this might mean Ed Reed is going to follow him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
