The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Indianapolis Colts 24-9 in last Sunday's AFC wild card game. Ray Lewis made his triumphant return in the final home game of his 17 year Hall of Fame career. Lewis, a linebacker, lined up at running back on the game's final snap...then proceeded to do his squirrel dance one last time for the fans who supported him. One Indianapolis Colt thought it was disrespectful. Hey Reggie Wayne...shut the bleep up!
For one, Wayne would not have felt disrespected, or even cared at all, if the Colts would have won the game. And who cares if he feels disrespected? That was a Ravens home game. It wasn't like Ray pulled a T.O. and ran to the Colts 50 yard line to dance on the horseshoe.
Secondly, if the Colts felt disrespected by the whole Ray Lewis swan song extravaganza, then they are hypocrites. During their regular season home game finale, they played an emotional tribute to their embattled head coach, who was returning from a serious ailment. Everyone in the arena (including the visiting and division rival Texans) stood and applauded for several minutes prior to kickoff.
And you don't think that gave the Colts (who were playing at home) an emotional and competitive edge? It's a copy cat league Reggie Wayne. Take your loss like a man. follow @plcolter
