According to the NFL, Ray Lewis leads the pack of players who were the top "entertainers" of the decade in the NFL. Ray, along with Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens, took the self-promotion opportunities that the league afforded them through video and sound bites and made themselves stars both on and off the field. Whether you are a fan of any of them, you have to admit they made the game more entertaining, and sometimes made people either like them or loathe them.
Here in Baltimore, we see Ray Lewis every week of the season and have since the beginning of the franchise. For the rest of the league, it's a treat when they get a chance to see him on occasion, although the fans of the Steelers, Bengals and Browns might say otherwise.
