Denver Mayor Must Dance Like Ray Lewis

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.

When Baltimore won in overtime, it was disaster for Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, who must now dance like Ray Lewis. The soon-to-retire Baltimore star does an awkward but enthusiastic sideline dance before games. And we're going to find out soon how well Mayor Hancock moves.
