Before football, there was another love for Lewis -- dancing. At the age of 13, two years before he would put on a helmet, Lewis joined a dance group organized by hometown friend Kwame King.
They called themselves the Hardy Boys. Lewis: "We had dance competitions every Sunday at this place called SkateWorld. We danced in the Martin Luther King parade. Now listen, I have footage of that. But you will never see it. Chad Steele, Ravens vice president of public relations: "I've seen the videos. The choreography was a little cheesy. But as much as I want to bust on it, they were good. The guys could move. Lewis: "In my hometown, Kirby Lee, a childhood friend of mine who was in the armed forces, always used to do this dance.
We named the dance 'The Squirrel,' the way the squirrel moves. He always did it. Kirby was my biggest fan. He has my number tattooed on his shoulder. I told him that one day I would do his dance. He said, 'No, you won't. The stadium needs some excitement. We couldn't learn how to get lined up, but we could choreograph a dance. I almost melted down on the sideline. Ray Lewis: "I had no music to it. I came out raw and did it.
The crowd went crazy and lost their mind. People erupted and said, 'You have to do this every week. Then I got creative. I needed a song to go to it. I played with a few songs and ended up with Nelly. It timed up perfectly with my movement. Terrell Suggs , Ravens linebacker: "It was the most exciting part of the game except for the end and the outcome.
Even the opposing team looked forward to it when they came to play us. They would say, 'I hope the defense is going to be introduced because it fired us up, too. I didn't get to see Michael Jordan [in person], but when the lights came on, I'm pretty sure it was similar.
Only one person — Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis — pleaded guilty to a crime related to their deaths, for obstructing justice. He came to Atlanta to party instead, dressing for the nightlife afterward in a cream-colored suit with a mock neck sweater and Stetson hat.
But that suit hasn't been seen in public since the night Lewis' limousine left the bloody crime scene, leading to a question that has haunted the families of the deceased: What happened to the suit Lewis wore that night? FROM Slayings not forgotten or forgiven. New details emerged about the suit that prosecutors alleged was stained with blood. The purpose of the document was to persuade a judge to deny an attempt by Lewis to have their case thrown out of court.
Her name was Jessica Larose Robertson of Houston. Sunseria Keith, met with Ms. Keith instructed Ms. Robertson to destroy the suit Defendant Lewis had been wearing at the time of the incident. Keith arranged to pay Ms.
Robertson for her services in covering up for Defendant Lewis, and for Defendant King's legal fees. During the days and weeks following the incident, Ms. Keith, with Ms. Robertson's assistance, acted upon Defendant Lewis' behalf, in embarking upon a campaign to contact, counsel and harass witnesses. Middleton, the Baker family attorney, cited that material in a list of exhibits supporting his assertions and court filings in May Lewis' actions during the police investigation, the actions of Sunseria Keith and others while Mr.
With a full cage covering almost all of his face, Lewis could have opted to show only his eyes to the San Francisco 49ers , but he went in a different direction. The facemask certainly has some practical use. With bars and a visor that completely cover his face, Lewis is in no danger of having another player accidentally poke him in the eye.
However, Lewis did just recover from a torn triceps muscle in less than three months, and a poke in the eye is likely pretty low on his list of concerns during Super Bowl XLVII. Intimidation is almost certainly his primary motivation with this look.
