Football Pales Against Family
Dec 22, 2005 | 7:35PM | report this

 This is every person's worst nightmare, and Tony Dungy is living it.  Who would ever want to find out that their son had died only a few short days before Christmas?  Even worse is the probability that James Dungy had taken his own life.  With this happening to Dungy, I seriously doubt he really gives a damn about how good the Colts' season is now.  No parent ever wants to have to attend any one of their children's funerals.

  This is truly a tragedy.  No coach, no person, in their right mind, would want this to happen.  It is now obvious that there are more important things than football.  If you asked Dungy, or any other coach that was also a parent, which they'd rather have:  a championship season (with the loss of one of their kids), or a winless season, each and every one of them would take the winless season without even thinking about it. 

  This truly makes me sick.  I see the NFL commercials about it being the season for football (as a spinoff of the Holiday Season), and this makes how obvious how cheap a shot that is.  There is no way, no how, that football's important would even begin to compare to the importance of a person's family and friends, especially around this time of year.  If it did, that person has some seriously messed up priorities.

  So I send all my best wishes to Tony Dungy, his family, friends, players, and everybody that has had the benefit of meeting the man.  I also wish the best to each and every person that ever knew James Dungy.  I hope that all of them can pull through this rough time and just find hope and peace in this truly tragic situation.  I will have them all in my thoughts and prayers.  Peace to you all, and have a Merry Christmas the best that you can. 

 

  And yeah, I know that anybody that is reading is thinking how badly this is written, but something like this truly leaves you at a loss for words.  I am not even a parent, but I just have to get this out of my system, and wish everybody associated with Dungy in any way the best wishes in getting through this awful time.
