During the ESPN pregame show Sunday, studio analyst Ray Lewis offered his take on what the Baltimore Ravens might have known about former teammate Ray Rice and, well, perhaps he shouldn’t have.

Lewis noted that “some things you can cover up and there’s some things you can’t” as he spoke of the former Raven’s domestic-violence case and the ESPN report about what the team knew and when.

He went on for about three minutes, but his producers had to be cringing. Lewis was originally charged with two counts of murder in 2000, but ended up pleading guilty to the misdemeanor of obstruction of justice.
