Dungy on Vick

Here's a really good article where Tony Dungy is interviewed about his faith and a follow up to how Michael Vick is doing. When he first met with Vick in his cell, Dungy wanted to know "Where was the Lord in all this?" Really good read.

What's a football fan to do until the inevitable Patriots beatdown of the Giants Sunday? Rather than watching ad naseum footage of Tom Brady with a walking boot and a supermodel, I decided I would read a book. I'm glad I did.

Tony Dungy was the winning Super Bowl coach for the Indy Colts last year. Being the first African-American coach to win the big game certainly gives him a platform. But as he has proven throughout his life, Dungy is much, much more than just a football coach. He is a man of incredible faith that is almost universally loved and respected for his Christian discipleship more than he is for his X's and O's.

His book, Quiet Strength tells his story, starting with his firing in Tampa Bay. He covers the pain of never really making it in the NFL. And the excruitiating tragic death of one of his sons. Through it all, he exhibits a faith and conviction for serving God and all those around him that is very uplifting. Check it out.
