Wow. That didn’t take long.
Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti tells Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun that the team plans to unveil a statue of Ray Lewis outside M&T Bank Stadium before the upcoming season. The statue will be placed in Unitas Plaza and is being done by Fred Kail, who did the Johnny Unitas statue that sits outside the stadium.
Also of note, Ravens are planning on unveiling Ray Lewis statue outside stadium before 2014 season. Will be in Unitas Plaza.

The Ray Lewis statue is being done by Fred Kail, who did Unitas statue as well. Lewis has had input in process.

Now we speculate.
What will the statue look like? Will we get a Ray Lewis dance statue?
Also, when will Brian Billick be inducted into the Ring of Honor?
Wow is right. A Ray Lewis statue, huh? Took Johnny U. 40 years to have a statue done in his honor and it only took Ray, 2 years?!? Not contesting whether or not Ray was a great player, because he was, but a statue just two years after retiring? Are they going to put a statue up for every great player that comes through town? Ogden next? Ed Reed? Wow, is right.
Ray Lewis gets a statue because he defined an era. Same as Johnny U. It has nothing to do with timing. If you look back twenty years from now you’ll still think Ray Lewis defined an era. Two super bowl rings, a leader in the locker room, and one of the best dang players to ever play the game. Ogden was great, and a very valuable player, but Ray Lewis he is not.
I learned nothing new reading this. Give us some better Ravens content.
here what we lurn bout you Birdlad Steve. We run trane on you ass punkstick. You come denny wear i manage and i get off work and we settle mano a mano.
It’s a sports blog. Not your one stop news source for all things Ravens.
This is the right time for Lewis’ statue. It’s not his fault thatn they screwed up getting a Johnny U. statue for 40 years. The time is right, while they are still alive and the memories are alive. Where is the SOP saying you have to wait so many years or be dead? They screwed that one up honoring the Negro League players… The Yankees do it all the time. Why not put up statues of all the great players? Yes, Ogden should be there too. Hell, where is my BSR statue?
If you want more Raven content, go stand next to to the Washington Monument with a handful of peanuts, throw them in the air. In about 12 seconds you will have a bunch of ravens fighting for those nuts. Another 10 minutes or so, if yiu are still standing there, you will have all the ravens contents you want….on your head, on the pavement and on your windshield. Your wife has better posts than you…and a nicer rack!

I didn’t learn anything reading this either Birdman Steve but reading the comments I learned you are an ass.
