Former Giants receiver Amani Toomer took a few shots at Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis on Wednesday, using his microphone on NBC Sports Radio Network to do it.

Toomer criticized Lewis' pre-and-post-game antics, saying "it's definitely all about him".

"Once a guy goes to the center of the field, goes into the victory formation on the last play of his last home game . . . .  I just don't think the Giants or any organization I've ever been a part of, even growing up, would allow somebody to single themselves out like that.

"If you single yourself out after you make a play, that's one thing.  But to walk out on the field reminds me of the WWE, like The Rock coming out.  You're becoming a caricature of yourself.  It's exhausting.  I don't know why somebody would want that."

Toomer also questioned the difference between Ray Lewis the Man of God and Ray Lewis the man who was accused of double murder and who pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and who has still never publicly answered this simple question: "Ray, what happened that night?"

"If you want to say you're Mr. Religious and all of that, have a clean record.  Don't say all of that stuff if you know there's stuff that might come back," Toomer said.  "Those are the things that, when I look at him, I just think hypocrisy."
