Sure, this is all over ESPN and will be all over the sports pages tomorrow, but I want to tip my hat to Tony Dungy, now the former coach of the Indianapolis Colts. I knew the retirement was coming but now that it's official it makes me a little bummed. He's the reason I liked his old team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and while I didn't become a big Colts fan when he arrived there seven years ago (the Wife is a Colts fan), I liked watching Coach Dungy become the first and the only black coach to guide his team to a Super Bowl victory.
This was my first (and possibly last) season participating in a fantasy football league and I named my team the "Dungy Boys." And yes... we did win the championship. I didn't do it with all the grace and class of the man himself, but I'm just me and Tony Dungy is one of the best there is.
Thanks for everything, Coach.
