Tomorrow's New York Times has a short story on Nathan Whitaker, who is presumably among the most successful people in the football-media nexus, and presumably unbeknownst to you. More »

Coach Moral Compass checks in on the Braylon Edwards situation and says, approximately, "If I'm Rex Ryan, I light the collective bargaining agreement on fire and blow my nose with the Wagner Act." [Larry Brown Sports] More »

"If I'm Reggie Bush, I give back the trophy," Tony Dungy said yesterday in his capacity as football's freelance moral compass. This is all he does anymore: intone some insufferably pious crap that's just aching to be cross-stitched onto a decorative pillow. More »

It turns out Tod Leiweke did look beyond the American Eagle model coaching circuit when trying to fill their coaching/GM vacancies. Leiweke said he called Tony Dungy first about the president's job even before he had playtime with Leslie Frazier. More »

The most fascinating element of the Michael Vick saga is the role of Tony Dungy, who has leveraged his credibility to get Vick a new job. Is this the future of PR management for "troubled" athletes? More »

Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy spoke with kids at a high school in Tampa on Thursday and apparently he was in a mood to foment him some controversy. And not in the usual "condemning o' the gays" way. Nope. He took a shot at the rival New England Patriots being embroiled in MattWalshGate. Nothing wrong with that. What was interesting was Dungy's willingness to gloss over accusations against his team. More »

So you probably new that NASCAR has its own Erin Andrews (although I prefer the original). But did you know that Nicole Manske has her sights set on the NFL? Manske, a former Miss Illinois Teen USA and native of Rockton, Ill. (where she was a high school cheerleader on the same squad with Danica Patrick), was a host on Speed Channel until recently moving over to ESPN to host NASCAR Now. But her plans most likely do not stop there. More »

You realize that if the Chargers had hired anyone other than this man — this guy — you realize that we'd be falling over ourselves to praise the guy. All the playoff troubles for the Chargers, and the new coach, in his first year, gets them to the AFC Championship Game despite injuries to Philip Rivers and LaDainian Tomlinson. That's amazing, right? Except ... it's that guy. More »

Much debate last month surrounded lovable Colts coach Tony Dungy's appearance at an event for an anti-gay-marriage group (among other things) and whether or not Dungy would come out (so to speak) and endorse the group's platform. Well, he has. He "embraces" a ban on same-sex marriage. More »

When we look back at Super Bowl XLI in a few years, what will we remember most? The Sex Cannon's free-flying vertical missives into the night? Tony Dungy at last setting race relations straight in this country? Jimmy Fallon sitting next to Janet Reno on a couch? We figure the lasting image of Super Bowl XLI will be of rain, rain, glorious rain. More »

You know, the stress of Super Bowl week — of preparing your team for battle in the midst of an insane media circus and, uh, strippers who come bearing cocaine — can take a toll on NFL coaches. (Poor Bill Callahan looked like he'd just gone through a disturbingly primal fraternity initiation.) More »

From all accounts, Indianapolis Colts Tony Dungy is as honorable a man as you'll find in the world of sports, revered by many and respected by all. He has, of course, also had his suffered his fair share of personal tragedy as well. More »

In one of those little moments that make life with high definition television so much better than life before high definition television, an eagle-eyed reader caught a split-second incident last night, fleeting, that shows just how much the Indianapolis Colts staff loves Tony Dungy. More »

The Indianapolis Star reports that Tony Dungy has returned to the Colts and will be on the sidelines for Sunday's game against the Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals. He is scheduled to conduct this afternoon's practice session. He has been away from his team for exactly a week and spoke at his son's funeral two days ago. More »

Like anyone who watched yesterday's heartwrenching press conference held by Colts coach Tony Dungy after his son James' funeral, we were touched, saddened and overall deflated by Dungy's straightforwardness and obvious devastatation. We continue to find the speculation about when Dungy will return to the Colts confounding and unnecessary; in a similar position, we wouldn't be able to imagine coaching ever again, or typing, or going to the grocery store, brushing our teeth — much of anything, really. (For an example of the ways losing a child can devastate a person, look at the Jeff Reardon story yesterday.) But we are much weaker men than Tony Dungy. More »

A terribly ghoulish way to start your post-holiday break, we agree, and, honestly, we've questioned ourselves as to whether or not this is the type of thing we should be posting about. But we tend to take the viewpoint that if something is out there, and it might be of interest, we owe it to you to direct you there. More »
