Jan 6, 2013; Baltimore, MD, USA; Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis (52) dances for wide receiver Jacoby Jones (12) and wide receiver Torey Smith (82) following the game of the AFC Wild Card playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts at M
For some reason, ESPN’s Jason Whitlock was reminiscing over the first time he saw Ray Lewis’ famous dance.
First time I was in Baltimore and saw Ray dance, I literally teared up and genuinely wanted to play. I got goosebumps. #footballiscrazy

CBS’s Pete Prisco had a different take.
@WhitlockJason The first time I saw it, I thought: How over the top and how look-at-me it was. To each his own. — Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
@WhitlockJason Most overrated crap in sports. Ray Lewis dancing. Motivating — Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
@PriscoCBS Pete, that’s just crazy. Ray’s emotion was a game-changer. Great leader. — Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) August 23, 2013
@WhitlockJason When you played, did you need someone in your ass telling you to play? — Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
Back to the original topic:
@PriscoCBS not trying to be condescending, but did you ever play football? — Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) August 23, 2013
Prisco calls Whitlock out, but plays along.
@WhitlockJason You are trying to be, and yes I did. I didn’t need rah-rah crap in my ear. Do your job.
— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
@PriscoCBS no, i’m not. at what level and what position?
— Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) August 23, 2013
@WhitlockJason High school — guard. Biggest level in Florida. That was it. — Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
Prisco back pedals from his previous comments.
@WhitlockJason I know you are not. Just messing. — Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
Whitlock goes to his favorite topic.
@PriscoCBS did you play with any black dudes? defense is an emotional side of football. ray connected in a big way.
— Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) August 23, 2013
@WhitlockJason Yes. What does that have to do with it?
— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
Prisco tries to tout his high school level of play versus Whitlock.
@WhitlockJason Yes. What does that have to do with it?
— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 23, 2013
Whitlock appreciated the “what does that have to do with it?” response.
@PriscoCBS good troll. you win. — Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) August 23, 2013
But not the high school one.
@PriscoCBS oh, jeezuz. here we go. — Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) August 23, 2013
Paging Skip Bayless, paging Skip Bayless. Would Skip Bayless please chime in on his high school athletic dominance. Pete Prisco says they were just goofing around though.
@macspadwriting @whitlockjason We’re having fun.
