Ray Lewis Says the Tuck Rule is the Only Reason We Know Who Tom Brady Is [AUDIO]
By Jason Lisk
Ray Lewis is a BIG believer in momentum. That extends to believing that a quarterback benefiting from one call eventually propels that quarterback to throw 50 touchdown passes, lead the league in touchdowns thrice, and get selected to the all-decade team by the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Nothing was stopping that momentum.
CBS Boston has the transcription:
“Listen, not to go all totally out of conscious [I believe he meant ‘context’], but just think about this, Stephen A., honest to God,” Lewis said. “When we — the first time we created something called a tuck rule, it’s the only reason we know — I’m just being honest! — the only reason we know who Tom Brady is, because of a tuck rule! There’s no such thing as a tuck rule! If the ball is in your hand, and I knock it out your hand, whether it’s going backwards, forwards, lateral, sideways, however it’s coming out, that’s a freaking fumble! […]
“They don’t go to that championship game — they don’t go to that championship game if that tuck rule, if that ball is not called a tuck! That’s a fumble!” Lewis shouted. “Charles Woodson made that man clearly fumble the ball and they named it the tuck rule, something that we’ve never heard in today’s game. So now you’ve got to ask yourself: When did the legacy really start?”
Hey, he was just speaking out of conscious. It also sounds like he thinks there is some type of cover up. Ray Lewis: leader of men, trailer of logic.
