"I'm ready to bring the same level of passion to this next phase of my life as I brought to the field during my years as a player. I can't wait to work with my new teammates, many of whom I've already known for years."
Lewis will now travel to the site of every Monday Night Football game, according to the Baltimore Sun.
The man players called "Mufasa" will also appear weekly on ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike program.
"Ray is a tremendous addition to our NFL roster and he will have an immediate impact on our coverage," said ESPN executive vice president of production John Wildhack.

Police: Boston bomb suspects spent night in Honda
WATERTOWN, Mass. (AP) — Massachusetts State Police say a pair of brothers suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings spent the night in a Honda CRV and used it to carjack a Mercedes SUV.
Police said Friday morning at a Watertown news conference that one of the brothers stayed with the carjacking victim for a few minutes and then let him go.
They say one brother drove away in the CRV, and the other one drove away in the Mercedes.
Police say one then ditched the CRV and reunited with his brother in the Mercedes. Authorities say both suspects were in the Mercedes when they encountered police and hurled explosives at officers. Twenty-six-year-old suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev (tsahr-NY'-ev) was killed.
The CRV was later recovered in Boston.
Nineteen-year-old Dzhokhar (JOH'-kahr) Tsarnaev remains on the loose.

some women live in places where there are so few midwives that the rate of attendance at a birth is 1 in 1000 per live birth.
some children have a 160 per 1000 kids chance of dying before they reach the age of 5.
some women give birth with the very real risk that they might be the 1 in 100 in their country to die in the process.
If I can give the gift of midwifery to these same women, I will have done my job well.
Evidence shows the simple changes that need to be made. The basic training that needs to take place.

In pictures: Samsung's LED and plasma TVs from CES 2011
At CES 2011, Samsung unveiled over 40 new LED, LCD and plasma TVs. We've cherry-picked the coolest models and accessories and taken a closer look.
At CES 2011, Samsung unveiled over 40 new LED, LCD and plasma TVs. We've cherry-picked the coolest models and accessories and taken a closer look.
Sony took the CES by storm by unveiling a bunch of new products and updating a few fan favorites. here's a look at some of the products that'll be in stores this year, from TVs, to laptops to camcorders big and small.
With Christmas just around the corner, many stores are beginning to slash the prices of their home entertainment products from brands like Samsung, LG, Pioneer, Sharp and Sony. If you're looking for a new HD TV, Blu-ray player, home entertainment system or media streamer this Christmas, check out some of these great savings. Click on the model name to read an in-depth review of each product.
Whether you're an audiophile or just interested in good entertainment options, we have compiled a slideshow of some of the top brands in the world -- some of which you have probably never heard of.
Since its founding in 1946, Sony has produced some of the biggest hits in consumer electronics. Brand names like Walkman, Handycam and Trinitron helped define the company as a giant in the industry and more recent hits like Cybershot, Vaio, Bravia and PlayStation have helped keep it there. But no success story is failure-free. Let's take a look back at some Sony products that didn't win consumers' hearts and minds.
Last night, nefarious members of Australia's technology press converged at the CBD Bar, Sydney, for a Halloween Party thrown by PR firm Max Australia, whose clients include NetApp, Fuji-Xerox, Belkin and Symantec.
This year, BenQ plans to break into the Australian camcorder market with a range of affordable, self-branded digital video cameras. Each model in the BenQ camcorder range features Full HD video recording (1080x1920p), plus unique features such as dual SD card slots and 3D capabilities on select models only.
Back in 2006, an entry-level Blu-ray player would set you back a minimum of $1000. Today, most models cost around $400-$500, with some retailing for under 200 bucks. In other words, there has never been a better time to toss away your old DVD player.
If your dad is anything like mine, he probably thinks he's a dab hand with a video camera (apparently it's a middle-aged male thing; like operating the remote on a VCR). Whenever the family gets together, it always seems to be dad who's in charge of movie-making duties, while the rest of us waste time preparing, cooking and serving the lunch.
On Friday, Samsung launched its latest LED television, the 7.98mm thick Series 9. The Samsung Series 9 supports 3D viewing, has a 200Hz refresh rate and comes with a touch-screen remote control.
Bowers & Wilkins have long been considered one of the premier makers of audio speakers in the world. When it comes to home cinema, iPod docks and hi-fi solutions, Bowers & Wilkins are indeed the cream of the crop in speakers. Founder, John Bowers gave the company one goal: to develop the perfect speaker. We take a look at their products and can only dream of one day owning a set of speakers from the iconic brand.
Back in the 1940s during the Second World War, electronics company Bang & Olufsen fought to stay afloat when Danish Nazi sympathisers destroyed their factory as revenge for its refusal to co-operate with German forces. (In fact, many of their employees were actively involved in the Danish resistance.)
In just 10 short days, the 2010 FIFA World Cup will kick off in Johannesburg, South Africa, bringing joy and euphoric agony to every corner of the globe. For Australian football fans in the southern hemisphere, this means a fortnight of broken sleep, bleary eyes and botched workflows.
With 3D TVs like Samsung's Series 7 (UA55C7000) hitting the market, we decided to take a look back at where it all began: in the 1890s, when British film pioneer William Friese-Greene filed a patent for a 3D movie process. Two films were projected side by side on screen, with viewers having to look through a stereoscope to unite the two images together.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Delonte West plans to return tonight, but won't be 100%
Delonte West plans to return tonight, against — wait for it — Tyler Hansbrough and the Indiana Pacers. But West says he will not be 100% the rest of this season. (CSNNE)
Delonte West has indicated that he plans to make his return from a sprained ankle when the Celtics take on the Pacers Wednesday. And though he feels healthy enough to play, he told CSNNE's Carolyn Manno that he is still experiencing some discomfort.
"I'm not a 100 percent," West said. "But I'm able to play and perform so I'm looking forward to it.
"I don't think I'm gonna be 100 percent at all this year," he added. "I've been told that the wrist is gonna take another six months to recover, still don't have rotation. The ankle is a little sore, but no more sore than any other player is playing with right now."
Prior to spraining his ankle (but after breaking his wrist), West had finally started to show why the Celtics expect so much from him. Jeff Green, Delonte West, and Glen Davis? Opposing coaches should have fits defending that crew. Those are three legitimate starters in the NBA, coming off Boston's bench. All can score 20 on any given night. All (minus Green) can defend. All play smart (for the most part) basketball, and should fit well together.
With West set to return, it begs the question: What happens to Carlos Arroyo? I never thought I'd actually want Arroyo to stay in the rotation when West came back. But he's played himself into the conversation, at the very least. He's not going to score 30 or 40 points (and probably not even eight or 10), but Arroyo has run the offense well. Doc Rivers may want to put West at shooting guard to make room for Arroyo. Again, I never thought I'd want Carlos Arroyo playing minutes. When he signed, I thought he was just insurance. Now, I'm actually wondering whether he deserves a role.

If RR is injured then start CA and bring DW in as usual. This way RR gets rest, which he obviously needs, and CA can gain more time with the starters as opposed to the 2nd Unit, which may be needed in the playoffs if injuries occur. And let's give JG more time and more than 9 games to become a better defender (and rebounder as he really needs to pick up that element of his game), as defense was not preached in OKC whereas it is the backbone of the Celtics' arsenal. I bet he acclimates a lot better over the next 17 games than you are giving him credit for at the moment, which is unfair. Go Cs…get back on track please!!!

Playoff roster should be, the starting five, Aroyo, West, Green, Davis, Shaq, JO and have Pavlovic and Murphy duke it out for the last spot. Wafer and Bradley can get a ring on the pine. The others are playing the way we need solong as they're healthy.
I think I'd probably side with taking Murphy as the last spot because he can shoot (or at least he used to and it looks like he's getting it back) and rebound, and he's another big body.
If we have a playoff rotation of bigs of KG, Shaq, Kristic, JO, BBD and Murphy with Green playing spot duty at the 4 with the rest of the starters, I don't think there's any team that will be able to handle that crew's versatility.
The more Bigs the better.

West has actually been much better playing at SG over his career.
He's an effective PG, but if you check his +/- numbers both in Boston (admittedly incredibly small sample size) and over his career, he's actually been much better at the 2 guard.
So Arroyo, if he continues to play solid, will find minutes. Doc loves having two legit ball handlers on the floor, and rightfully so, there's a lot that can do for your line up. I fully expect to see a guard rotation of Rondo/Ray/Arroyo/Delonte being used interchangeably for the rest of the season. You'll see Rondo/Delonte, Rondo/Arroyo, Arroyo/Delonte for stretches. Wafer, much as his play improved this year, will likely be the odd man out.
