Tony Dungy to retire


Word is coming out that Tony Dungy will announce his retirement from coaching the Colts at a 5:00 press conference.

I tip my hat to Tony Dungy. I know there's been a fair share of playoff failures (and more on this later) but he delivered a Super Bowl in 2006 and he also brought a level of consistency and excellence to a franchise that was going nowhere (and had been going nowhere).

He's a hall of fame football coach but more importantly his impact stretches beyond his football accomplishments. Not to anoint him to sainthood or anything but there's a lot of dopes in the sporting world...and it was refreshing and inspiring to see Dungy do things the "right" way.
