OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Ray Lewis was pacing with playful impatience the other day as a media scrum surrounded Baltimore teammate Ray Rice. Lewis was scheduled to talk next, and he sure looked like he wanted to get on with it.
"Come on, last question," Lewis muttered, barely audible.
Well, I had another. No sane person wants to tick off one of the most menacing linebackers in NFL history, but I asked Rice this: Does Joe Flacco take unfair blame for the Ravens' losses to the Steelers?
Lewis stopped pacing. His eyes turned to Rice.
Without hesitation, and apparently without noticing Lewis, Rice gave a sharp, mature answer in which he called Flacco "an elite quarterback" and "a winning quarterback."
Never mind whether those are accurate assessments. It was the right answer for a teammate to give.
Lewis loved it.
"Good job, man," he whispered with a small fist pump.
That left with me two thoughts:
1. Lewis is still the man.
2. The Ravens appear to have quite the complex.
