Tommy Carcetti and Ray Lewis

I'm not one for spoilers so I'll leave out the details, but I feel comfortable saying that it was pretty cool that Mayor Carcetti gave a shout-out to Ray's legacy on a recent episode of The Wire. I can't remember if it was last weekend's episode or the week's before; I watched them both only tonight. But whatever. That's not the point. The point is, don't even think about putting Ray Ray out to pasture!

Ray Lewis is playing at a level unseen in recent years, and imagine how well he'd be playing if Baltimore had, oh, I don't know, maybe a pass rush? Or a secondary? Or an offense that could stay on the field for more than 45 seconds?

My hope is that Baltimore goes D in the first round of the NFL Draft, but I'm afraid Harbaugh is going to want to make a splash and put 'his guy' behind center. I hope that's not the case. Baltimore should not pick a QB in the first round. It may be a moot point if Ozzie pulls the trigger on D-Mac, but if that doesn't happen there is a decent chance Baltimore will fumble the #8 overall selection and draft a QB.
