skinsmania123 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 You know I just had to post this...I just think Tony Dungy is a class act. His modesty reminds me so much of Joe Gibbs. He has overcome tremendous adversity in his life, with such grace and class that I was so happy the Colts won yesterday...of course I wished it was the Skins and I will never give up on that.

I've been a fan of Dungy for a long time.. I wish the Redskins had him.. Don't get wrong I love Joe Gibbs and am thankful we have him but if we didn't have Gibbs I'd kill to get Dungy here.

Riggo-toni Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I loved watching Manning choke year after year, but I really wanted Dungy to win one to prove Tampa wrong. He IS a great human being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I liked him until his bible thumping nonsense last night. Really turned me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzSkinsFan63 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Both Dungie and Lovie Smith are total class acts. The NFL should be damn proud to have them... Congrats to both on excellent seasons.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 what's up with the Re:? I never saw a Dungy is a class act thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSellers45 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I agree that Dungy is a great coach and a great person. I also like how he didn't make a big deal of being the first black coach to win the Superbowl. He is a class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebornempowered Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I liked him until his bible thumping nonsense last night. Really turned me off. OK and self-loving athletes turn me off.....what's your point. If I came on here and complained about them every time an athlete talked about himself I would have 15,000+ posts.

redskins2redskins Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm glad that he finally won the big one,seems like a good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwasm Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I liked him until his bible thumping nonsense last night. Really turned me off. Why do you have a problem with his Christian faith? He mentioned God, but he didn't go on and on about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMason Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I agree. I didn't see ALL of the post-game stuff, but I thought he was pretty level about all of the God stuff. Saying he's proud to be a Christian coach is bad? What more do you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFan Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I liked him until his bible thumping nonsense last night. Really turned me off. He credited his success to god. Would you be turned off if he had credited his parents? He didn't try to recruit or oppress anyone. It amazes me that people that post messages like this don't see how intolerant they sound. Let the guy have his faith. He isn't hurting you with it. Dungy is a good guy and I'm glad he's earned a ring. TheFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRay Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Class act always I'm happy for him he deserves it. As well happy for a couple of players Marvin Harrison another class act. He just goes on and do his job not one thing flashy about him he doesn't talk smack just go and do what he needs to do. Cato June that's my homeboy really happy for him as well.

jrockster21 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I thought it was classy that he had backups in the game while there was still a *glimmer* of hope for the Bears to come back. He wanted to make sure that as many players as possible got a chance to play in the superbowl; very classy, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I came on here and complained about them every time an athlete talked about himself I would have 15,000+ posts. I didn't complain about Dungy or anyone else everytime his name is mentioned or everytime someone attributes their success to god. I said one thing which was pretty straightforward and direct. I agree, it is just like your dislike for self-loving athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Why do you have a problem with his Christian faith? He mentioned God, but he didn't go on and on about it. I would suggest that he did go on and on about it. God was referenced more last night than in any post championship celebration I've ever seen.

God was referenced more last night than in any post championship celebration I've ever seen. You obviously missed the post-game interview with Earnest Byner and Darrell Green after Super Bowl XXVI. They didn't drone on about their faith, but, when compared to what Dungy Sunday, his comments were very mild. I think it boils down to your just wanting to hear nothing about God.

twenty-eight Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'd rather not hear about god after a football game. Anyone else think about Dungy's son who committed suicide last year? I couldn't get it off my mind after the colts won:( Dungy is a great man, a real class act, he really deserved this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My intolerance of his bible thumping is no different than your intolerance of my anti-religious stance. You're right. Both you and he should have the right to voice your opinions about faith. I just take exception when one stance prefers to stifle the other. TheFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwasm Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Yes, that is true. (Both about not seeing Green/Byner and about not wanting to hear anything about god). So, it's okay for you to express your athiestic views, but not okay for anyone else to express their belief in God? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 So, it's okay for you to express your athiestic views, but not okay for anyone else to express their belief in God? No, its OK for both of us to do both things. I said I was annoyed by Dungy's continued references to god and that I no longer had a particular affinity to him as a result.
