Tony Dungy...

so apparently, there has been a rumor about tony dungy and how he will be joining Obama in the office. hmm... im not so sure if it's just me, but that sounds pretty dumb. haha anyway, im not so sure if i will do a good job, but i really would like to dedicate this blog entry to tony dungy, who made so many things possible for my very favorite team of all, the Indianapolis Colts.

first off, tony dungy came to indianapolis colts from tampa bay buccaneers in early 2002. he was a great coach no matter who says what. look at his record! 85 - 27 during regular season and 7 -6 during playoffs. i know everyone thinks that colts freeze when it comes to playoffs, but i still believe that dungy did a fabulous job coaching in indy rather it was during the regular season or in the playoffs. and the most amazing thing is that Tony Dungy is the ONLY coach who beat all 32 NFL teams. now that's pretty impressive. oh yeah, and don't forget that he is the ONLY african-american coach to ever win the super bowl.

so why is dungy retiring all of a sudden you ask? well, it all happened with one incident. it was 2005 during the 16th season, or more like in the middle of the 15th season, dungy gets the news of his son's death; his first son, james, had committed suicide. dungy misses the week 16 game, which the colts lost, and seriously considers retiring and going back home to take care of his family. but he stays and leads the indianapolis colts to super bowl XLI and they manage to take the victory. dungy continued to coach at indianapolis and now he feels like it's the right time to go back home and spend some more time with his family.

i highly doubt that he will return to NFL as a coach. he will be doing some works; i believe he will definitely work with teenagers, mentoring them, so that such incident that happened to his son will not happen again. and that's when barack obama asked him if he can join him and work with him to lead the teenagers. i think that's a great idea, but we will see what dungy has to say about this.

i think more than a good coach, dungy is a father-figure to a lot of the players and the fans. He is known for his good works, and he is known for his love towards the players. Tony Dungy will not be forgotten in NFL history; he will be remembered, and will be remembered for a long time. i will truly miss seeing tony dungy on the sideline.
