If only the families of the men killed in those double murders outside an Atlanta nightclub really knew how God worked.

That's the message Ray Lewis sent them during a pregame interview with Shannon Sharpe on CBS Sunday. Lewis was told the families believe he knows "more" about the murders than he has ever said. "What would you like to say to the families?" Sharpe asked.


Lewis said if "the system" really investigated the case "maybe they would have gotten to the bottom of it." Then, as he often does, Lewis brought God into the equation.

"If you really knew how God works, he don't use people who commit anything like that (murder) for his glory," Lewis said.

After the interview, Sharpe said the fact Lewis has come so far "is a testament to how this man has transformed his life." Boomer Esiason challenged Sharpe, saying the issues surrounding Lewis are "complex."

"How is it complex?" an irate Sharpe shot back.

"He was involved in a double murder," Esiason said. "And I'm not sure he's ever given the answers we were looking for. He knows what went on there."
