Ray Talking

The NFL Network and NFL Films are the perfect pair. They produce some outstanding programs.

This weekend was the "Sounds of the Game" marathon. There was a lot of good stuff. Rex Ryan and Ray Lewis each got a 30 minute program.

The show on Lewis was outstanding. In all of the years of watching the NFL, his level of passion has few peers. I really admire his approach to the game and devotion to it. He is a once in a lifetime player.

He is not without controversy that will be with him the rest of his life after being linked to a double murder back in 2002.

He has played at such a high level for 15 years and 11 Pro Bowls. He won't play forever, but right now, we are watching the #18 all-time NFL player according to the recent Top 100 Players program.

He stands with some great company as Bronco Nogurski was at #19 and Barry Sanders was #17.
