St. Ray has apparently changed his mind about the Niners

[KamaAina]

When last we heard from Lewis -- no, not on the witness stand -- he was blaming the NFL for timing the power outage at the Superdome to hurt his team.

Now, however, it would appear that he's seen the light:

It's safe to say Ray Lewis is not happy with officials for flagging Ahmad Brooks for his hit on Drew Brees during Sunday's New Orleans Saints- San Francisco 49ers game.

In the game's aftermath that hit caused no shortage of controversy. Brooks himself called the 15-yard penalty for the hit "b------t."

On Monday night Lewis, the former Baltimore Ravens star who is now part of ESPN's Monday Night Football crew, voiced his displeasure over the call. In a winding rant, Lewis called the penalty the most embarrassing call in the NFL since the Tuck Rule call in 2001 (perhaps a slight exaggeration).

Lewis also said that if Brooks is hit with a fine, he will personally pay half of it. If Brooks isn't fined for the hit, he almost certainly will be for his postgame comments.

1. It was a bad call. It won't be the last, especially with the league trying to protect stars.

2. I think it was a good call...even if you think it was a bad call, it wasn't in the realm

of really, really awful...from Ray's rants it's clear roid rage continues long after the need to abuse drugs upon retirement.
