ESPN NFL analyst and former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis called into Stephen A. Smith's radio show today to offer his steaming hot take very stupid opinion on current New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady

CBS Boston has a full transcript of Lewis' remarks: 


"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!


"But guess what we created? We created a freaking tuck rule!"


"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?"
