When Did Tony Dungy Become God?


TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Tony Dungy believes Michael Vick will be back in the NFL this season, maybe even this week. He's still not saying where the 29-year-old free-agent quarterback will land -- or how many are interested. In a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, Dungy said Vick will be working from a small list of teams because many do not want to risk a potential backlash from fans. "It's a complex issue," the former Indianapolis Colts coach said from his home in Tampa, Fla. "You have to get past the possible reaction of fans, and it has to be a team that has an opening and has [salary] cap room. I think Indianapolis would be a great place for him to develop as a person, but he's not a fit with that offense. It's going to be a lot like that." Dungy has been involved with prison ministries for years and now serves as Vick's personal mentor.

You might find it hard to believe but deep down I'm a big Dungy fan. Just like everyone in Boston has respect for Joe Torre and Derek Jeter, there's a soft spot for the old coach from Indy. First things first, he's just a genuinely nice guy. It takes a lot of balls go into prison and try to mentor some of the most fucked up human beings in America. People helping people. The gods will eat that shit up. I'm not saying Vick doesn't deserve a second chance in the league but I'm getting real sick of him and Dungy hogging the headlines with the same super positive bullshit. One day he say's there are a lot of teams looking to sign and the next it's going to be difficult but still possible. Like how the fuck does he know everything? Is he some divine being sent to us? I feel like he's got something to hide by doing all of this for a piece of shit like Vick. Think about Morgan Freeman. You thought he was this huge humanitarian and great guy only to find out when he got in a car accident he was with his lady of the night. I'm just saying when it's all said and done and the church shine wears off of this guy and we find he was busy humping Phil Jackson's daughter every easter, I'll be the guy in the corner saying I told ya so.
