That's actually pretty funny.

Sean Taylor was killed by a group of kids trying to steal from him, how does he have anything to do with what you're whining about? Only you could complain about a guy like Tony Dungy. Incredible.

Hey, I absolutely LOVE Dungy. I wish he'd come back and coach my Cowboys. It was more of a general point.

And I know Taylor was killed in an apparently random act, but his lifestyle before that was abhorable.

Check out his stellar actions before that.

Look, I'm not trying to hijack this thread to be about Sean Taylor. The OP was referring to Dungy's defense of the TOs of the world.

What does his past actions before then have to do with the statement you made?? You made a comment comparing his death to McNair's when in actuality there where far from being anything close to similar. You basically tried to put him and MCNair in the same boat when they weren't. Nice try to try and change it up though.

And on the TO note what exactly has TO done that was illegal?? I am by no means a fan of TO but he hasn't done anything illegal or anything close to that nature. All he has been is a damn loudmouth who doesn't know when to shut up. You have those in every walk of life.

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

The fact that TO can even be mentioned in the same group as guys like Vick and Pacman is amazing to me. TO hasn't done anything illegal and is a very nice guy. He's extremely competitive and extremely hard-working. His only issue is that he speaks his mind. I think he'll be good for the Bills because of that really. Nobody seems to want to be a leader for the Bills and perhaps he might be able to get them to be a little less conservative.

T.O. is a team disruptor but he's nothing like Vick, Pac-Man and others who've done ILLEGAL things. I don't like T.O. very much but i'll at least give him credit for being a good citizen off the field.

As for Dungy, I agree he won't be very good in the studio but to just cut him down because of the whole "support group" mentality of the NFL is a bit ridiculous. Dungy is a guy that seems to take everything into account and bends over backward a bit for the players but I think that's mainly because he's a guy that demands and gets a lot of respect from players. Even though his Indy teams were mostly filled with good citizens I think he would've done just as well with the early '90s Cowboys if he had them under his wing. They were a bit on the party animal side and did some questionable things but by and large they got the job done. Dungy would've done well with them much in the same way that Jimmy Johnson did.

Someone mentioned they liked Matt Millen, you'll regret saying that as the man was a caricature of Madden when he was at FOX. Maybe the passage of time will change that but there were times that Millen while making good points was still cringe worthy.
