The Lord's Way African-American Way

""I'm proud to be the first African-American coach to win this," said Dungy during the trophy ceremony Sunday night, according to the Associated Press. "But again, more than anything, Lovie Smith and I are not only African-American but also Christian coaches, showing you can do it the Lord's way. We're more proud of that." [ Interestingly, on my drive home today I stumbled into listening to a local radio talk show host who was pointing out that he went looking for this quote in the audio clips he had available to him from both AP and Fox News. NEITHER of them had the full quote -- just the 'proud to be the first African-American coach to win this' part. The "Lord's way" wasn't PC enough to include. Remember that when they tell you that Fox is the Jesus network. And even the best interpretation would say that the opening phrase filled up the 5 seconds alloted for a sound bite. See this for why you need to turn off the tube and read more... And oh, yes. MLK would be proud of both Tony and Lovie because of the content of their character. Period. -ed. ]

The Colts beat the Chicago Bears 29-17 on a soggy field in Miami, Fla., Sunday. They did it for their coach, whom the players say deserved the win. And Dungy did it without yelling or cursing from the sidelines - a trait that his players have trained with and that opposing coach and close friend Lovie Smith picked up when he assisted Dungy on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' coaching staff.

A day ahead of the game, Dungy headlined the annual faith-based Super Bowl Breakfast, hosted by Athletes in Action. A record crowd of 2,500 people witnessed Dungy speak as the first-ever Super Bowl Coach to appear in person at the breakfast a day before NFL's marquee game."
