"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.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The entire OP is about the play calling and results and only mentioned T-Mac one time, in the sense of our offensive struggles only made me more frustrated about our #1 WR only getting a single 2nd half target in a game we were behind for the majority of it. How is that showing my true colors? It's way more of other people reading too much into it and thinking this is all and only about T-Mac for me, but it's not.  He just happens to be the player that I specifically was upset by his 2nd half usage, but it had nothing to do with my personal feelings towards him, but that he's our only legitimate WR and he had a single target in the 2nd half after going for 73 yards in the first. To me, that is a very legitimate play calling gripe, the win or particular player aside.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      By Achilles · Posted

      We’re stuck with Bryce for now.  He led TWO drives where we came from behind to take the lead. One of them was the winning drive and he threw the winning TD. Taken as a whole…he played at expectation after the 1st quarter. That’s not so bad under the circumstances.  We got the win. Maybe they’ll struggle to build on it but a win is a win. He drove the offense down and took the lead when it was needed. You can’t take that away from him.    We’re not changing QBs anytime soon.  Or owners.  So…when they win, we should take it at face value and give credit where it’s due.  Bryce came up big in clutch moments. You can’t take that away from him.
