| 0:06.0 | From 985, the Sports Hub. |
| 0:09.0 | I'm very disappointed in one of my very best friends, Ray Lewis. |
| 0:13.0 | Ray Lewis sat in that chair right there and said that he could never kneel. |
| 0:17.0 | He could never not stand for the national anthem because so many people died and he had |
| 0:23.2 | family members to fight for this country and the opportunity and the flag means so much to him. |

| 1:30.5 | And if he says anything else, he's lying. |
| 1:32.1 | In his suit. |
| 1:33.4 | Yeah, he saw that the tide was turning. |
