Bill Simmons throws dirt at Ray Lewis over Deflategate take

The only thing Bill Simmons loves more than stirring up trouble in ESPN Land (besides maybe making oblique 90s pop culture references or using footnotes) is his Boston sports teams, so Ray Lewis picked on the wrong controversy-shrouded Super Bowl squad.

Simmons fired away Tuesday on Twitter at Lewis, now an ESPN football analyst, over his suggestion a Patriots title should have an asterisk affixed due to Deflategate, pointing out the former Ravens linebacker is no stranger to pre-Super Bowl "cheating" accusations.

The attached image shows Lewis with Photoshopped deer antlers, referring to a Sports Illustrated report that surfaced before Super Bowl XLVII following the 2012 season, alleging Lewis — then recovering from a torn triceps, and weeks away from retirement — tried to obtain a spray made from deer-antler extract that contained a substance banned by the NFL.

According to USA Today, this is the semi-coherent Lewis speech that set Simmons off: "Marshawn Lynch, the league clearly said to him, 'If you come out of the tunnel with those shoes on, we will not only suspend you for this game, but we will suspend you for the Super Bowl.' Now we're back at another place where we let a team go into an AFC championship, and if it's proven that they played with deflated balls … because if it's not cheating, then the Colts should have had the same option to play with the same balls. So we're at a place now where we're going to celebrate an organization once again, put an asterisk by it, because they went into a championship game."

Perhaps Simmons, previously suspended by ESPN for broadsiding NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and briefly embroiled in a spat with co-worked Mike Golic, exercised some restraint: He didn't mention the other, much more serious Super Bowl incident lingering in Lewis' past.
