Ray Lewis on "Playmaker Mobile"
The Baltimore Ravens All World linebacker, Ray Lewis, is part of Playmaker Mobile, an application for the iPhone and Blackberry. On Playmaker Mobile, you can read stories and watch videos by the players themselves and of course, our interest is in Ray's contribution and comments. He allows himself to be interviewed in a few videos and even posts his own thoughts about the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl, during his time in south Florida.

Here is the email I received from the site's Editorial Director:
This is an FYI email just to let you know about Ray Lewis and Playmaker Mobile, an athlete-owned sports media property now available on the iPhone and BlackBerry. Playmaker Mobile is also available on other phones for Verizon Wireless. The company is owned by athletes, and the content comes directly from athletes. Videos, photos, text content, etc. Recently Super Bowl linebacker Jon Vilma shared his entire Super Bowl experience with fans on Playmaker Mobile. Other Playmaker Mobile athletes besides Ray include Donovan McNabb, Rajon Rondo, Brandon Jennings, Gretchen Bleiler, Steve Nash, Lolo Jones, Josh Cribbs, Helio Castroneves, et al.
Playmaker Mobile athletes share unique content with fans, either via the mobile application or via me at the Playmaker Mobile blog:

We encourage your candid feedback, and of course would welcome any blogroll links or post mentions! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Click on the link here to read and watch Ray Lewis at Super Bowl week, after the Pro Bowl was played. Obviously, he was not overly impressed with the Pro Bowl experience but was a gracious host and certainly a better interview than the Pittsburgh Steelers' James Harrison (see what I mean by scrolling down the page after going to the link).

Pro Athlete Greed- What is the world of sports coming 2?
Interesting to see pro athletes trying to get more money from their most loyal fans. A bit of a sham dont you think. True athletes use twitter and facebook, which I can get on iphone and blackberry for free without paying for anything. Tisk Tisk- Ray and those who jump on the wagon with this concept. Come on, give something back to your fanbase rather then trying to nickle and dime them. Its like charging your fanbase for you to sign some type of memorabilia. Sometimes greed and entitlement as a pro athlete can get you in trouble. Sound familiar.
Interesting point Jimmy
Telling it like it is. Interesting point in why these athletes are trying to charge for something that should be free. This new school of athletes thinking of making millions while you are in the spot light only shows one thing: Professional Athlete=Selfish Athlete. It is a shame already. Enough of the Terrell Owens we need more Peyton Mannings. Glad to see that the Mannings continue to be the lone ranger amongst the ‘look at me, I’m FINE’ self centered pros of today to their fans and how they can use their status to help the community rather than profit from them. Eli showed some class when he decided to allow an ailing hospital St. Vicent to keep the money owed to him for his promotion.
This playmaker thing sounds more like a fortuneteller scheme. I can tell you the inside secrets and goods BUT you have to pay for it first. Or the infamous psychic power phone service where they charge you by the minute.
Come On- as I look down and see things like this, I wonder what ever happened to the pure athletes like my good friend – Muhammad Ali, but again that is why they called him the Greatest.
Just telling it like it is.
