Bill Walton’s Ray Lewis Murder Comment

ESPN college basketball analyst Bill Walton made a series of bizarre comments during Thursday’s PAC 12 tournament game between Oregon and Washington. Commenting on the game with Dave Pasch, Walton began the night with a strange comment about new ESPN NFL analyst Ray Lewis being in the back of a limo with the Oregon Ducks cheerleaders; Lewis infamously fled a murder scene in the back of a limo at a 2000 Super Bowl party before being charged with murder. Pasch attempted to gloss over the comment by stating he would ignore Walton’s comment.

After making some strange observations during the game Walton went on to claim Southwest Airlines was the best airline he had ever flown, before being told other airlines were also available by Pasch. After the blatant advertizement for Southwest Walton’s strange behavior continued with the legendary basketball expert telling Pasch his colleagues wife was calling him; ESPN has yet to comment on disciplinary action against the analyst.
