"You can leave the battlefield for injury but not PAIN" Such Deep remark

[@wyattwburneraccount2981]

I had to listen to that again

[@Cynthia-fx4we]

​@@wyattwburneraccount2981 • We are more resilient than we believe.

[@joshualoher6877]

If he didn't play football he would have been a preacher

[@AHMAD-2324]

Joshua Loher I believe he is one now...

[@gumpboi226]

Joshua Loher he's a lot more now too sports analyst coaching life coach preacher and motivational speaker

[@zipck5852]

Joshua Loher I think you mean motivational speaker

[@originnone]

Yeah,...except for that whole thing about murder....

[@gumpboi226]

originnone he didn't commit it 😒😒 if he did he would've been in jail it was the people that he was with that day if you did your research

[@gold_blond7956]

I'd follow Ray Lewis into any battle.

[@ShotbyFlash]

Big factz

[@CottonBoxer]

BUT ARE YOU GAME ENOUGH TO STAY OR DIE TRYING ?

[@WhatIsTime_]

[@jojostoenail2162]

Of course he is a legendary leader

[@lonewolfgamingplus379]

"The greatest pain that a man ever go throughout his life is the disconnection of a father" those words speak to me so much..

[@wyattwburneraccount2981]

Deep

[@Cynthia-fx4we]

Millions of men could tell this story.

[@briellafoi8767]

"Men believe in the possible. God believes in the impossible."

Im doing the 52 card thing and I’m not even half way through and at 190 pushups

[@ioncarebro]

he’s also a murder😭

[@ioncarebro]

he’s also a murder😭

[@TheWimbley12]

The greatest pain a man will ever go through in their life is the disconnection of a father when you KNOW he living! Damn!!!

[@cabucinho6421]

TheWimbley12 to deep

[@xXDeadMan9612Xx]

TheWimbley12 that shit had me sitting there contemplating life, couldn't be more true

[@mikemailei4491]

Ray and His father reconnected. Glad He made up.

[@Thomas-mw8jz]

I can't wait for his hall of fame speech!!

[@GamerMomentsToo]

Thomas E true

[@YZdude]

he really is such an amazing person

[@fallenstudent1103]

Yea man the way he Killed those two people and got away with it is awe inspiring.

[@YZdude]

Aldito Hernandez​ let me guess salty steelers fan? Or wait even worse salty patriots fan..

[@fallenstudent1103]

Brandon diesel Even better, I don't like pro sports in general because they're corrupted as fuck and they endorse mob mentality.

[@YZdude]

Aldito Hernandez lmao! Your right even better....

[@scotspurs100]

@Aldito Hernandez - you're right - pro sports are just another tool for keeping people divided, 'my team is better than yours' etc

[@robertdonoghue9924]

God his HOF speech will be probably the most memorable ever. This man along with iverson have to be two of the most inspirational individuals in sports history. Two men that beat every odd and finished their careers as inspiring millions and being respected as the greatest in the game, at the highest level of competition for their respective sports. Incredible.

[@TheBirchEmpire]

look up pissed of for greatness in youtube search bar

[@AHMAD-2324]

robert donoghue Iverson was respected as the greatest in the game. By Whom?...

[@robertdonoghue9924]

I dont mean in the sense of being better than jordan but at the guard position iverson was the most fearless and had the most ball skill, period. Carried his team by himself to a finals with no help. He's a legend was my point.

[@AHMAD-2324]

robert donoghue Oh ok. You're absolutely right about that. And thanks for clearing that up...

[@elwoodblues8878]

I’m going to the hof game this year and I get to meet him I’m pretty stoked

[@ezb2277]

"If you don't control pain, it'll control you".

[@ibrahimali495]

Ray Lewis on a TedTalk?! One less item on off my bucket list 😥

[@Chelseagrinkittycat]

Ibrahim Ali lol just waiting for another one

[@Rocksaplenty]

"I'm just doing what God told me to do" I'm so glad I'm not the only dude that does weird stuff because God says to do it still. I've met people, gone places and done amazing things because I heard that little voice tell me what needed done.

[@alexmeza4123]

how do you know when it's God telling you to do something

[@jorgerosales6452]

lol mkay

[@Macheako]

@Alex: How do you know if your girlfriend/boyfriend actually cares about you?

[@jorgerosales6452]

+Matthew Morton You don't. But how do you know god loves you ? and how do you know what he thinks?

[@josephflamm3018]

You need to have a relationship with Him. Call him up. Write sometime.

[@mikemarks6136]

this man brings out so much emotion

[@BjornRSA]

Man, I tell you, this video really hit home to me. My mom is the biggest blessing in my life and right now, every day she's fighting through a lot of emotional abuse in her life and just like Ray felt - I feel helpless because as of now I'm not able to stand up to her demons and give her the life she deserves. But every time I sit down with my work opened in front of me, I take a minute and think about her. Just like Ray did, I hope to one day repay my momma for the blessings she's given me in my life. I dedicate this degree to you mom and hope I can one day make you the proudest mother in the world.

[@FullImpact513]

when you listen to Ray speak, it's hard not to be inspired. One of the greatest to ever play football and I feel blessed to have heard him speak.

[@stanleydavis6013]

ray the great

[@stephengoodson9619]

I remember people saying that Ray Lewis career was over. When I seen him come back on the field I remember thinking I thought his career was over? Then he finished out with a Super Bowl win! Great story! They should make a movie about this guy!

[@tjsmind]

Hated by a few. Love and respected by many. Ray is something special.

[@christinembithi]

Ray Lews is so inspiring. I love this man!

[@LakerTalk]

I'd pay to see Ray speak. You cannot listen to Ray speak and not have a good week going forward.

[@GregCheekSpeaks]

Well said! I feel the same way!

[@TheHandsomemonkey]

Live in New England And I'm a Ravens fan. AN inspiring voice Ray Lews is to me.

[@k4yser]
