Something seems fishy about this Super Bowl this year. It looks like the NFL purposely some how had fishy Officiating in that Broncos/Ravens game with more calls favoring a Ravens win than against them. That one call which was clearly pass interference with the Ravens defense holding all over the Broncos Receiver should have never counted as an interception. I personally believe the NFL is pushing hard for a Ravens/49ers Super Bowl because they know it will set record setting ratings have 2 brothers go at it! I'm picking Murderer Ray Lewis and his thug Ravens to beat 49ers in this NFL Super Bowl game that was pushed hard by the NFL!

Did Ray Lewis ever give his side of the Story of what exactly went down that night?

And was he willing to be hooked up to a lie detector test? Lie Detector Tests are 99.9 percent accuracy I believe I've heard.

Questions I'd like to know.

1) Did you kill that guy?(Don't know his name)

2) Do you know who killed that guy?

3) Did you get rid of evidence?

An innocent man has nothing to hide.

Not really, lie detector tests relies on the symptoms of stress which can be exploited if the person is prepared for it. Not to mention someone like me would have fail the test easily due to nervousness, it's not really reliable.

Whether he did it or not, I really have no idea and one of the main reasons why he was let off was because the witnesses testimonies conflicted with one and the other. It's one of those thing you will have to look up although Lewis didn't help himself when he lied to the police which to be fair would make him a suspect.

Even if he does gives his side of the story, how many people would believe him? It's a tough case.

Manti Te'o has been banned from ever joining the NFL. Good, what a dirtbag he is for making up such a sick and twisted Story.

It's been years since it occurred and he was never found to be guilty.

I don't want him on my NFL team, guys a freaking weirdo. He is a Psycho and that isn't a funny joke at all. Watch out for this Steroid abuser, he might cut someones head off like another famous Football player did.

Seeing as Buffalo was projected to take Te'o I will be following this business closely. His stock will probably fall severely if he gets drafted at all. It's too bad that the one time the Bills look poised to take a big name player who could turn things around something like this happens. I never found him to be an extraordinary talent but he had a persona and a story that brought people into seats. The last thing I want is a cancer on the team though so here's hoping they find another quality guy to take that spot.

You never know, he is a huge risk because of what happened but it's not like the Bills will have much to lose by drafting him. If all goes well, he could be the next Junior Seau. I could see the teams like the Eagles, Cowboys, and the Jets taking their chances on him though.

He's still a tool though.

I don't think it's any question that he's going to get drafted, most likely in the first round. GMs tend to be pretty anal about the even the most trivial of things in the draft, but if he is as good as everyone claims, then they will draft him in the first round, and then deal with the possible consequences later on.

It's too bad that the one time the Bills look poised to take a big name player who could turn things around something like this happens.

It all depends if he can play well in his rookie season, if he does, then the damage won't be as destructive, but if he sucks, then everyone will point this out and basically be octrasized and gullible.

Buffalo needs as much talent as they can get in every position, and I wouldn't imagine that the Bills would pass up on Te'o, if they have a need for a LB. Character is important, but it don't mean shit if they can't play effectively, and considering how bad the Bills are on defense, they need every man they can draft.

We don't have the full details about Te'o's fictional girlfriend and all that, but as of now, I do believe that he was duped more so than anything else.

The big thing holding back Manti Te'o at this moment is that any team drafting him will be drafting more than a player, but also a leader on defense. The best case scenario is that it turns out Te'o was duped and it hurts his credibility a bit or at least makes his transition into the NFL tougher than it already would be for a relatively undersized guy like him. Worst case scenario is he conspired with Tuiasosopo in an effort to hunt glory and he loses all credibility as a leader and a man of character.

I hope for the best but I think trading up for Jarvis Jones could be a good idea too if things pan out poorly.

He just won't get drafted as high as he could have been. One thing about the NFL is that character of a person only plays a minor role compared to their abilities; TO, Ocho Cinco, et al.

I bet Manti hopes the spotlight stays on Lance Armstrong until April.

It will only affect him in terms of where he's drafted, and that all depends on how all this shakes out. Ultimately, if he does produce at the NFL level, then a lot of sins can be looked the other way, or at least played down to an extent. {just look at Vontaze Burfict as an example} but if not, then this will hover over him like a dark cloud, and the media can be pretty vicious when it comes to stuff like this.

I'm thinking the time is coming where NFL teams realize that they need to re-evalutate their needs at the Linebacker position. In my opinion Te'o is a little undersized and the Alabama game reasserted this concerns for me. Teams in the NFL are getting torn to pieces by mediocre Tight Ends because they don't have the tools to stop their sheer athleticism. The general attitude is that if you put a linebacker on a receiver you will get burned. I believe this much is going to change , it has to if teams want to stop the Pats, Saints, and others from shredding them for 30+ points week after week.

In this hypothetical future teams will be trying to employ linebackers who are quaterback height with enough speed to adequately cover the tight end. They'll probably work like an extra safety in a 3-4 scheme where they play over the middle alongside a more traditional linebacker. Te'o was noted this year for getting quite a lot of INTs for a linebacker so I would think that teams would like him in this capacity but the problem is that I don't think he is big enough to hang with NFL tight ends.

For a team like Buffalo that's desperate just to find a way to plug up the run I am skeptical he has the technique to put runners down, just look into 'Te'oing' for a better idea of why. I think he'll be a first round pick yet but I don't think he'll survive in what I believe is an inevitably changing landscape for NFL defense.

My final picks have changed, I've thought about the possible out comes and I believe Falcons and Ravens will happen. Will this be the first all Birds Super Bowl if it happens? Will it be the first time in History that two South Jersey quarterbacks face off against each other if it happens?

If that happens then the Ravens wins and Ed Reed gets his ring.

I'm starting to feel like Ray Lewis was innocent. Ray Lewis doesn't act anyhting like these crazy people like Manti Te'o, TO, or OJ Simpson. I think Ray Lewis was part of the wrong crowd and someone in his crew did kill those two people but I don't think it was Ray Lewis. Ray Lewis isn't acting all crazy like the Football players I've mentioned. I now deem the Legend Ray Lewis as innocent!

And the Falcons nearly found a way to lose the game after leading by 20 points, I wouldn't trust those guys. I would like them to win if the match up happens but I'm not going to bet on it.

I hope so, he certainly deserves one for all that he has done for the Ravens over the years. Plus, Ray Lewis getting another ring in his last season of football will be great as well.

Anyone realize that The Ravens defense was kind of crappy during the regular season but when Playoffs came, that their defense looked insanely great the past 3 games while the past 2 games for the 49ers they've allowed their opponents to score almost 30 points in thos games. You can say that it was because 49ers played two high powerful offenses or maybe just maybe The Ravens are the better overall team.

Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs were hurt for most of the season and didn't return until when the season start to come to end. It is a good thing they return in time for the playoffs when they did.
