Ray Lewis gives inspired pregame speech to Clemson (VIDEO)

A: The Baltimore Ravens, Stanford men's basketball, Loyola lacrosse, Michael Phelps and Clemson football.

Q: Athletes that have received pep talks from injured Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis this year.

Lewis was at Clemson on Saturday before the team's game against N.C. State and gave an inspired speech to the Tigers. These motivational talks -- part Matt Foley, part preacher, part Scared Straight -- are becoming sort of a cottage industry for Lewis. They seem to work. Clemson rolled over the Wolfpack 62-48 in the game.

He should totally get Alabama and whichever team is going to lose to Alabama in a bidding war for his pregame presence before January's national championship game.

That's both awesome and terrifying at the same time. The players must love when Lewis comes in, though I bet they fight to see who sits in the back. Look at the bearded guy on the left side of the front row. Ray is making all that awkward eye contact and the player must have no idea how to respond. "Does he want me to nod? Smile? Yell out 'right on!' and clap? Snarl? Give him a chest bump? Oh no, he's staring at me and clapping in my face. is he going to headbutt me out of passion? Don't blink. He'll see that as a sign of weakness. WHY IS HE YELLING AT ME?!"

Meanwhile, the guy in the back gets to hold up his iPhone without a care in the world.

Expect Lewis to be giving a similar speech before Sunday night's AFC North matchup between his Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
