I know Coach Lovie Smith is also a Christian and this is not a knock on him. I have always liked Coach Dungy because he is a good Christian man. I was thrilled last night when he and his Colts won the Super Bowl. He is more than a good man. He is an amazing Godly man who all men should try to be like. After he won last night, a reporter asked how it felt to be the first African American coach to win. He humbly said he was happy to represent that community but added that he was more proud to be a Christian who showed it was possible to coach, lead a team and win the big game "God's way". Wow. The following video was from Super Bowl Breakfast last year. Keep in mind that this was after losing in the playoffs again and (more importantly) less than 2 months after his son committed suicide. Watch and then ask yourself how easy it would be for you to get up in front of a large audience at a sporting even and say these words.
Congrats Coach Dungy. You deserve it.

He is something very special and rare in the sports world and public eye. Thanks for posting that. I felt it took great courage to say what he did on public TV and after winning the super bowl...what a witness and one we should be able to follow...jerri
