Great Story About Dungy

Some of you may already be familiar with this story, but I thought to share this with the rest of you. It pretty much sums up what a tremendous man Tony Dungy is. I've shed some tears today, but it's stories like this one that keep me thinking that Dungy will continue touching lives both on and off the field. God bless you, Tony. We'll miss you so much.

Run The Ball!!!

Talk about letting a game slip through your fingers. We get deep within the Jaguars red zone with just over a minute to go in the game and instead of running the ball with the intent to score, we pass twice. That has to be some of the most foolish play-calling I've seen in quite some time. By running the ball, you at least take time off the clock or force the Jaguars to spend precious timeouts, so that when they do get the ball back, they won't have as much to work with. The Colts scoring a go-ahead touchdown was a necessity, but they didn't have to pass twice and then run in order to make it happen. Instead of leaving the Jags with one or two timeouts, the Colts leave Garrard and Co. a full compliment of timeouts with over a minute to go. Brilliant.
