Tony Dungy: "I wouldn't have taken him." (Michael Sam)

"I wouldn't have taken him,'' said former Bucs and Colts coach Tony Dungy, now an analyst for NBC. "Not because I don't believe Michael Sam should have a chance to play, but I wouldn't want to deal with all of it.

"It's not going to be totally smooth … things will happen.''

Tony Dungy is the man who wouldn't have anything to do with his own son, who had major drug problems and eventually committed suicide. I guess he knows all about avoiding people who may come with extra baggage.

Tony's gonna get some heat for this one. In the media, he's now the biggot that's fine with guys that just got out of prison. Oh, and he's black too. It all depends on whether or not the networks want to ruin his rep or not, but his Mr. Good Guy days may be numbered.

 

The cast of Duck Dynasty makes controversial statements yet people still tune in.

different demographic but I suppose it's a toss up...ESPN and ABC are all about pro-Michael Sam. It just depends on if they want to run with it. Do we need to bring up a certain Clippers owner?

 

Who is being forced to sell his team? I think he's getting a forced punishment. Had they fined and banned him eventually he would sell the team on his own because free agents would refuse to come. But everyone likes it when a billionaire fails.

GENIUS I'm talking about media attention. That's it. What if TMZ hadn't ever published the damn tape? What if ESPN though it was a non-story? None of it would've happened

 

My whole point is if the networks want it to move mountains, it will. Period.

Thought technically a suicide, I always heard his son died during autoerotic asphyxiation. No many young folks hang themselves these days.

I never heard about that. Doesn't change the fact that the "good guy" Tony Dungy wouldn't have anything to do with his own child, though.

Dungy is a good guy. Anyone who is hating on him needs to get a life. He's entitled to his own opinion.

Yeah, Tony's a great guy. I'm sure his son would back that statement. Wait, never mind.

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
