In what is referred to as a shocking turn of events, Ray Lewis has been reportedly seen on the practice fields in New Orleans with antlers growing out of his head.

Turns out there were some side effects to taking that deer antler extract after all.  Forget performance enhancing drug ‘roid rage or saggy man boobs.  Somebody make sure there is a flack jacket under his uniform – his head may end up over a mantle if he’s not careful enough.

Lewis is still denying that he ever took deer antler extract, but there’s no denying this dude is an 8-point thing of beauty.  ‘This is just a gag, man,’ yelled Lewis. ‘By the grace of God, I bought me an antler headband and decided to wear it at practice!’  Many are still suspicious of Lewis’ claims after he screamed repeatedly when Ravens defensive lineman Haloti Ngata pulled on the antlers sticking out of Lewis’ helmet.

NFL Commish, Rodger Goodell, had no comment on the situation, although some sources claim Goodell could be seen from his office polishing off his 30-0-6 rifle late last night.  League officials report that if Lewis plays with the antlers on his head in Sunday’s Super Bowl, he will be fined somewhere around $15,000 for uniform violations in the final game of his career.
