Wes Welker’s Wife Goes to Facebook to Share Her Thoughts on Ray Lewis After the Patriots Lost [UPDATE]
Besides hearing about the Harbaugh Brothers over the next two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl (and Jim’s appearance on Saved by the Bell!), prepare to be inundated by all things Ray Lewis in this his final NFL season.
I’m guessing Anna Burns Welker – the Former Miss Hooters wife of Patriots’ receiver Wes – will be ignoring a lot it. A reader passed along this screen grab of Anna’s Facebook page last night after the Patriots lost to the Ravens.
Wives of athletes sure can get feisty. Remember Gisele’s reaction after Wes Welker dropped that pass in the 2012 Super Bowl?
[UPDATE: Anna Burns Welker has apologized for her mini-rant. She emailed Larry Brown Sports:
“I’m deeply sorry for my recent post on Facebook,” Burns told Larry Brown Sports in a statement. “I let the competitiveness of the game and the comments people were making about a team I dearly love get the best of me. My actions were emotional and irrational and I sincerely apologize to Ray Lewis and anyone affected by my comment after yesterday’s game.
“It is such an accomplishment for any team to make it to the NFL playoffs, and the momentary frustration I felt should not overshadow the accomplishments of both of these amazing teams.”]

She does raise some salient points.
More importantly, which reader is trolling the facebook page of this chick. (obviously it was cracker jack).
January 21st, 2013 at 11:03 AM
She does have a point, but family members really do need to stay out of this type of drama. What exactly was she trying to accomplish there?

A little too much focus on the asscrack for my liking…luckily Boogie Nights was just starting up at that point

Ray Lewis fake-crying during the National Anthem was the worst acting performance ever. That being said, I amd glad that God’s LB was able to use the Scripture to defear the evil Patriots.

Gisele thinks she should shut the fuck up.
Also if Tebow gave Ray Lewis’ postgame speech the internet would explode.

that’s funny because i was just saying to the wife yesterday during some diaper ad that i wonder if i could remember how to change a diaper, it’s been four years. gotta be burned into the muscle memory after three 15 months apart

Ray changed his life and now he’s super passionate about his religion. Is he over the top? Yes, and it makes people uncomfortable. I have no problem with the man, and before you blast me, we’ve all done terrible things (to different extents of course). He leads a different life now, what’s so wrong with that? His wrong doings are in the past, just as mine and yours are.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:19 AM
Nice work, me.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:20 AM
So, wives of Patriots players act like bitches after a loss, too. Glad to see its not just limited to the players, coaches and fans.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:21 AM
Nothing makes me more skeptical of a person than when they publicly talk about their faith. My bullshit meter immediately goes into overdrive. That may be a cynical way to live my life, but I just can’t help it.

January 21st, 2013 at 11:22 AM
Good post. I’m a Ravens fan and I don’t care much for his over-the-top religious sermons. But he believes what he says, all the way through to his core. People like to think his pregame tears and bible quotes are all an act. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. He’s genuine.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:22 AM
Shoulda let him air it out on that 4th and 2 punt formation…Hoodie coached scared yesterday like he got lost in time and thought it was their 2001 team again, it was weird
January 21st, 2013 at 11:22 AM
I really wish he had gone to Dallas

good LB. not great.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:26 AM
Because that’s just who he is. He does it off camera just as frequently. He passionately preaches these same ideals throughout the Baltimore area. The guy made a mistakes when he was younger and credits God for putting him on a different path. I don’t understand why people have such a problem with it.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:26 AM
Pretty sure Paolo was anti-Catholic
January 21st, 2013 at 11:26 AM
I’m perversely looking forward to the inevitable Pats QB controversy. Brady will be 36 next year, Mallet will be 25, Brady might struggle and zealot Pats fans will say they’re “wasting Mallet’s prime,” etc
January 21st, 2013 at 11:26 AM
In Lewis’ defense… if you didn’t want to die, why would you be out trying to earn some money to feed your starving family. Dumbass.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:27 AM
Catholic priests go around spreading the Lord’s words AND find time to diddle young boys. So excuse me if I call bullshit.

Overcompensating for his murder guilt. It’s that simple.

Not that he will ever be back unless you go back into Te’o mode (that is over now, right?) but don’t block uncle remus. That guy is awesome.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:27 AM
I LOVE that people still actually think this. Amazing
January 21st, 2013 at 11:28 AM
I genuinely could give a shit about Ray Rays antics, after watching Jeem Harbaugh lose his shit on the sideline like a bitch yesterday I really hope the Ravens win by 50.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:28 AM
I wonder why God put him on that accessory path to begin with…odd choice by the Big Man.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:29 AM
I love that people who have never stepped foot in Baltimore and see Lewis twice a year on TV act like they KNOW someone is a fraud. Interesting that Tebow never faces these criticisms, either.

I’m sure it’ll get old for me eventually but in the meantime, I think it’s funny as hell. I used to throw tantrums like that when someone would intentionally injure my QB in Madden 93
January 21st, 2013 at 11:30 AM
Actually, nevermind, I don’t know what the victims were doing.
Not a fan of Mallett (with nothing to judge other than a couple preseason games and a douche-y looking face). Think he has a Bledsoe ceiling, but like Bills Bledsoe.
I thought Brady played pretty good in the first half yesterday… had some tough breaks, the game could have been 17-3 at the half. The second half I have no idea.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:30 AM

January 21st, 2013 at 11:31 AM
I completely understand that. People should also try and understand that these events have obviously impacted this man a d he’s changed his life because of it. Also, no, we can’t know for a fact that Ray isn’t putting in a show. His over the top actions do make it harder to believe he’s genuine. However, what I do see is a man who seems to be genuine in his faith and wants everyone to know it. I choose to believe Ray is simply doing his best by his religion. Bash him for being over the top, fair enough. Don’t think it’s fair to call him a fake.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:31 AM
When Tebow burns a bloody suit…I’ll bring heavier criticism.
/Probably a gay though
January 21st, 2013 at 11:31 AM
I thought he was hardcore Roman Catholic. Like pre-Vatican II Catholic.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:31 AM
Love that we’re living in the Golden Age of athletes being exposed as complete frauds and you feel comfortable making this statement. It’s almost like I doubt you would be saying this were you a 49ers fan.
Anyways. Lewis has always gotten a free pass for his indiscretions. Why didn’t Vick? Because he didn’t start putting on a minstrel revival show for the NFL every Super Bowl week?
January 21st, 2013 at 11:32 AM
This. I think Ray loves him some Ray.

I was surprised the Pats had so much trouble running. I wish they’d stuck with it a little longer, but not having their best offensive weapon, and then Hit Man Pollard taking out Ridley basically took care of it.
Would have liked to see Vereen split wide and targeted more. I know he dropped that pass, but he was the one player who consistently had matchups he could exploit. He didn’t get enough touches.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:35 AM
Isn’t Tebow constantly criticized for making a huge public deal out of his faith to garner attention? Or am I imagining someone else over the past six years?

Wes Welker’s Wife, and other Pats people’s wives should probably shut the fuck up after losses in games they didn’t even play in. Got damn, the sorest of losers always reside in New England.

Every team should take note that sometimes it is worth it to destroy several players over the middle even if it gets you penalties. Because those first few payed off greatly. Every Pats receiver seemed to have their head on a swivel.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:39 AM
What do you expect, Simmons is their leader.

January 21st, 2013 at 11:41 AM
Also Wes Welker not being a real person’s height kinda fucked New England over last night. Brady is great but he shouldn’t have to fit it in as tight a window as one must when throwing to a 5’7, not very fast person
January 21st, 2013 at 11:42 AM
Religion makes people uncomfortable, especially when people talk about it and others don’t want to hear about it. It’s not my place to label either as fakes. Maybe I’m just naive, but I believe these men are passionate about their faith and are genuinely trying to share it. People bash them for it because it makes them uncomfortable.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:42 AM
Once again, today’s the day we ignore the other players’ relatives who have done the same thing, as well as ignoring when other coaches refuse post game interviews. Great stuff.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:43 AM
Tebow is never accused of being a fraud, which is the charge leveled at Lewis. Huge difference. Tebow is also a shitty football player. He’s criticized more for using his faith to get attention/popularity because he can’t do it through his play.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:44 AM
NFL seems to be shifting to fast QBs and you guys want cement shoes Mallet?
At least Rodgers, Luck can run when needed. Brady might be the slowest QB in the NFL
January 21st, 2013 at 11:44 AM
Do they have a bunch of draft picks this year? Because if they do they should throw all of them at Arizona for Fitz.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:44 AM
so uh cj didn’t send this to TBL. reading tween lines
January 21st, 2013 at 11:44 AM
Those 3rd and 2s early really hurt. Baltimore just hates New England, and came playing on the edge. 15 yards here and there weren’t going to throw them off their plan, and they held up as the tougher team down the stretch. I kept wishing all week someone would just fire the Pats up and make a big hit. The closest they came was Brady trying to spike Ed Reed on a slide.
Jesuseffinchrist everyone needs to settle down on the New England hate. Who cares? They fucking lost.

pats are finesse, is that a fair statement? they lose physical battles, is that their rep?
please not that i am asking not stating
January 21st, 2013 at 11:45 AM
Don’t say ‘you guys’. No one here is even joking around about that McTibble. No one I know who is a Pats fan at all wants him. I’m just hoping Cleveland does.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:46 AM
He was being criticized for it while he was putting a stamp on the greatest collegiate football career of all-time (or at least a Duffian “last 30 years”).
Also, those boys wanted their peens clipped…he didn’t have to incinerate his scrubs afterward to avoid prosecution.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:46 AM
isolated incidents verses patterns of behavior.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:47 AM
This was also said in 1988 when Cunningham burst onto the scene, in the early 90s when Steve Young took over, in the early 00s when Vick had a big year…
January 21st, 2013 at 11:47 AM
then Hit Man Pollard taking out Ridley basically took care of it.
Serious question about that play – why wasn’t Ridley ruled down? Looked like he was sitting on his ass when his knee hit the ball and popped it out (aside from the fact that he was basically unconscious). Also, why wasn’t Pollard flagged – that was a straight up helmet to helmet? We used to call it spearing!
January 21st, 2013 at 11:47 AM
Doesn’t make me uncomfortable in the least.
I think athletes spouting about religion is disingenuous not because they’re frauds, but because they’re full of shit. Ray Lewis knows that he’s one of the best to ever play the game because of the hard work he has put in throughout his career and because he won the genetic lottery. It fucking baffles that any player who is so into making themselves the focal point is bashful when it comes to take credit for themselves. You’re not in the Super Bowl because God is great, you’re in the Super Bowl because of the accomplishments and failings of individual men.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:47 AM
God was too busy giving little kids cancer to notice.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:48 AM
She does raise some salient points.
I still don’t understand all the love Ray Ray gets.
I’d like to know that avg run gained on his tackles over the last 3-4 years. He’s had some 12 tackle games this year but I’m gonna bet it’s more than 5yds per tackle. Old. Slow.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:48 AM
no debate on whether ridley lowered his head into pollard’s?

Now obviously I didnt watch the postgame, but a quote I saw on Twitter was “God doesn’t make mistakes” in referring to this game, please tell me he did not actually say those words?

I really wanted him to give it the old college try on that 4th down to settle once and for all just who’s faster in a foot race between him and Ngata if he’s spotted a lead

Ball popped loose just before his ass hit down.
Also, he was not a defenseless player…so the hit was legal.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:49 AM
Well, it wasn’t long ago they had Rodney Harrison and Brandon Merriweather at safety. I don’t think they lose physical battles because they are finesse though. Hernandez and Lloyd both can make strong cuts/catches in traffic. Not having Gronk most of the year hurt them being physical on offense, and their offensive line just isn’t as tough as it used to be.
I think they want to be physical on defense, they just don’t have guys who can push around linemen. It’s a personnel thing and not a style thing.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:50 AM
I dont think it would’ve been overturned whichever way they initially called it. Too close to tell if the ball hit his knee with his bum on the ground, or a millimeter from hitting the ground. Tough break.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:50 AM
He wasnt a WR/QB and it’s possible the contact was missed. Part of the reason why it’s become such a passing league. RB’s dont get the same treatment.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:51 AM
A player running with the ball is not ‘defenseless’, this has never been against the rules.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:51 AM
Well I don’t think anyone but the stupidest Ravens fans and ESPN guys would argue he hasn’t fallen hard the last few seasons.
His focus is a legacy focus at this point, not for what he’s contributing to this season.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:51 AM
there are only four letters to choose from, is it really that hard…
/fixed
Gronk would have trucked Pollard and completely changed the game. Let me believe this, please.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:51 AM
Not really a Ray critique…but he does do it…and it happened in this game as well. If a runner is tripped up at the line, he stumbles 3 yards, and he is going down (whether or not anyone else touches him)…but Ray Lewis basically meets him at the ground. Does Ray get the tackle? Or the guy who actually caused it?
January 21st, 2013 at 11:53 AM
Looks like a jpeg of a jpeg…of a jpeg.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:53 AM
I’m semi religious and the “God wanted us to win” line is total bullcrap
January 21st, 2013 at 11:53 AM
If “helmet-to-helmet” contact were prohibited, the lines would draw a flag every play.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:54 AM
The tackles stat by a MLB is pretty overrated, I would think. It is very system dependent, and for the most part, probably doesn’t really reflect the level of play compared to league average at that position.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:55 AM
but Ray Lewis basically meets him at the ground. Does Ray get the tackle? Or the guy who actually caused it?
Exactly. This happens a lot.

I agree…but the stat is often flashed up on the screen. I know it’s not really indicative of anything, but I was just curious how it is counted.
January 21st, 2013 at 11:57 AM
Case in point- Ray was credited with the tackle when Brady ran into that ref. I’m not joking.
January 21st, 2013 at 12:01 PM
That ump looked familiar…same guy?
January 21st, 2013 at 12:01 PM
Also, he was not a defenseless player…so the hit was legal.
A player running with the ball is not ‘defenseless’, this has never been against the rules.
I understand all that, but Pollard lowered his head, launched head first into Ridley, and made contact with the crown of his helmet. That used to be called “spearing” back in the day and resulted in a 15 yarder. I know the RB is never a “defenseless” player, but you would think if someone still launches with their helmet and hits with the crown, it would be a penalty.
If not, that is the stupidest of stupid rules – those are the types of hits that result in not only concussions, but spinal injuries – for the aggressor. See what you hit!
January 21st, 2013 at 12:02 PM
so the real evil is anchors and reporters using tackles stats without context
January 21st, 2013 at 12:05 PM
The ending of a Patriots season wouldn’t be what it is without the jackass ramblings of a Patriot wife, or Patriots fans whining about something. This year it MLB tackling stats.

I’m not a Patriots fan. I just think Ray Lewis is a jackass.
That is all.

this totally misrepresents what actually happened on that play. Ridley ducked his head directly into that hit.
January 21st, 2013 at 1:20 PM
Ridley tried to run him over. Not wise, at all.
January 21st, 2013 at 1:21 PM
I have a distinct feeling that the Hooters champ doesn’t understand what acquitted means. He was acquitted of murder charges? Oh my goodness!!

I was waiting for one of the following:

I drunkenly added Brook Hundley on Facebook so if she accepted my friend request I would make fun of her. She did and I sobered up and decided to let it be. When she started posting crazy shit I sent it to TBL. This was long before I started commenting.
TL;DR i sent in Brook Hundley content
January 21st, 2013 at 1:45 PM
by the way, for future reference, if you’re attempting to show how much of a bad guy someone is, simply stating they were acquitted of a charge isn’t the best way to go. Of course this will be easier for you to understand once you understand exactly what the word acquit means.
January 21st, 2013 at 1:45 PM

January 21st, 2013 at 2:03 PM
I can’t believe Welker’s wife would say this. Six kids with four wives? Wrong! He never married any of them. Of course Tom Brady had a couple before he got married too, but his were with hotties, so it’s ok.
January 21st, 2013 at 2:38 PM
So how in the hell can a Hooters babe even think about something like this…let me see…working in Hooters, basically a chicken wing stripper, see dollar bill Wes walkin and get hitched…PLEASE let’s see what kind of foundation she drums up…LMAO….role model, damn
January 21st, 2013 at 2:46 PM
Oh one other thing Ray Lewis haters….he got a talking head job, so you will be seeing and hearing from him for a long time…LOL
January 21st, 2013 at 3:56 PM
These athletes need to keep their women in check. What need was there to dump on ray Lewis? Maybe if Welker could catch a bit better the pats may have been in back to back superbowls. Attacking one of the GOATs won’t make things better. Honestly, if my wife pulled that shit, there would be major problems. Did mrs.welker like mrs. Brady’s rant last year? Then she should shut the fuck up.
January 21st, 2013 at 4:14 PM
Gotta love it. Sore losers in all walks of life. She couldn’t get a story staight if her life depended on it. Anyone in here that can prove the point about Ray Lewis being a murderer, please post. No ignorance please. Plenty of that from all the Pats fans after there media Prince lost the game. By the way. She needs to get a life. Can’t understand what Wes sees in her.
January 21st, 2013 at 4:15 PM
She is probably nothing but a baby factory anyway
January 21st, 2013 at 4:17 PM
All you ignorant Pat’s fans can choke on your tears. Us Ravens fans are relishing the win over the Pats and the media Prince, Brady. Ravens outplayed them and they lost. Get over it. Ravens are going to the Super Bowl, not the Pats. Wahoo!!!!!
January 21st, 2013 at 4:34 PM
this comes from a trashy hooters girl that made a leaving taking off her cloths, until she snagged a stupid man that didn’t realize he’s being played for his money. the pats are Hippocrates and sorry losers. if you are going to blast a person the the FACTS.

Funny how everyone attacks her for telling the truth. The guy is a murderer.He’s a piece of crap and all the great plays in the world won’t change that fact. Sure The guys he killed were probably pieces of crap too but to make a hero out of him is ridiculous, and now he’s gets a free trip to the Super Bowl because the NFL eats that PR crap up. He’s disgusting, the league is a joke.
January 22nd, 2013 at 3:49 PM
You know here’s the just of it, what was said was said, you cannot take it back it’s out there for everyone to see so all the apologizes in the world don’t make up for what’s said. Shit the CUNT doesn’t even have her facts straight in the first place. Ray was never charged with murder period. She needs to get her shit straight before she continues to make a total ass of herself.
Oh, I guess I had better apologize for calling her a cunt, my emotions were going out of site after reading her comment. I am sorry for the total lack of respect I showed her. See, I made it all better right!
January 22nd, 2013 at 4:51 PM
Most of you people who call ray lewis a murderer have no idea what you are talking about. The only thing Ray was guilty of back in 1999-2000 was rolling with too large of an entourage. Anyone who actually believes Ray stabbed either of those 2 victims is a moron. He was a 19-20 year old rich black male who ran with a bad crowd at the time. Ray co-operated with prosecutors (which I don’t necessarily agree with ) and The prosecutors STILL could not even convict the other guy who actually purchased the knife. If you believe Ray Lewis killed someone…..then come see me because I have some beachfront property in Nevada that I would like to sell you.

Hey while we’re bashing Lewis and Vick why don’t we go see what Mark McGiure’s doing. Oh I forgot, he’s cowardly hiding under the rug. I see you!
