Speaking on a biased account, Ray Lewis is one of the greatest linebackers to play the game. Regardless of the adversity he has faced throughout his life, he’s somehow managed to be a humble dude. He hands out very inspirational and heart-wrenching speeches to young football players and has no shame in being a mama’s boy.
His competition, however, in this scenario has a different dynamic to bring to the table. The great white shark is all business mixed with zero pleasure. It wasn’t brought up on humble beginnings since it’s endlessly praised on TV. As an icon of the ocean, the shark has no time for being kind, especially to strangers
So, why on God’s green Earth should a great white be happy to see Ray Lewis? One is the king of saltwater and the other was a beast on the football field. Though clearly outmatched and outnumbered statistically and anatomically, Ray Lewis could turn this fight into something that rivals Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier’s bout. One twist to this duel is the fact that it would be fought in the water, so it would also be smart if Lewis learns some tricks from Michael Phelps in order to subdue his opponent. Unless, of course, Lewis plans on fighting the great white shark from the platform of a fishing vessel.
Duh nuh…duh nuh…
