I just read the news off the wire. This is really sad. 3 days before Christmas and at the tail end of one of the best runs in NFL history.

the Colts will probably dedicate the rest of the season to his son and are almost guarenteed to win the super bowl because their playing for a bigger purpose.

Usually I don't buy into that crap, but I think you may be right. I would love to see either Indy or Cincy win this year. I am a die hard Lions fan and will probably need to wait another 40 years for Super Bowl 80 before the win.

Yeah i just read that article. Messed up. I wonder what the cause of death was. Hope its not drug related.

It is sad to lose anyone at any time. When it happens around the holidays, it is always a constant reminder and makes it so you can never really enjoy yourself when the holidays come around.

Tony deserves a superbowl. If they would have kept him as coach in Tampa , he'd have one. That Superbowl Tampa defense was Tony's defense


Go Tony!

 

[hamstershaver]

That Superbowl Tampa defense was Tony's defense

you spelled monte kiffin wrong

 

[fistfullofsteel]

Yeah i just read that article. Messed up. I wonder what the cause of death was. Hope its not drug related.

from what i am hearing, it's probably suicide. suicides are the highest during this time of the year. the holidays can be very depressing for people.

Oh no.....

 

[Lestat]

wow that is terrible.. i remember seeing him on the sidelines of a couple games last year.

 

[gjohnson5]

you spelled monte kiffin wrong

Monty Kiffin was the defensive coordinator, Tony was the head coach who was a defensive coordinator himself. Make no mistake Tony was in charge of that defense.

It's all good Hammy
Check out where some of Tony Dungy's defensive schemes come from amd some Tony Dungy history

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05342/618907.stm

Just a couple weeks ago, Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy said the cover-two defensive scheme used by the unbeaten Colts is a defense borrowed from Mr. Carson's 1973 playbook. Mr. Dungy was a safety who played two seasons with the Steelers, 1977-78.

 

[gjohnson5]

But all respect and praises due to Tony's family

 

[tiger88]

was it drugs?

 

[sublime35]

That's really, my thoughts are with his family and all others that have lost people, esp. this time of the year.

I bet it was a hit ordered by the Pats...;P j/k I shouldn't joke about this.

 

[biteme]

Yeah, that sux big time. I hope I never have to go thru anything like that. I can take just about anything, but losing your child would be a hard thing to deal with.
