I know plenty of people who used to be gay and now are straight.

Oh, that mean old media! Why does it keep forcing Tony Dungy to go on promotional tours for his books and offer moral authority on everything under the sun? Can't they see he just wants to be left alone?

So the GM wouldn't have hired a black coach. So he holds opinions that differ from yours and perhaps those personal beliefs drift into his decision making. At the end of the day, so what?

When I read that long article on him a couple years ago (don't remember where it was) he came across as a legitimately scary dude. People who are on his wrong side just end up fucking dead, no muss, no fuss. And he just sits there quietly on the stool outside his carwash.

Completely accidentally and without malice, I'm sure.

You're a goddamn Marvin Harrison apologist!

why can't he have his opinion?

I have no bitterness or animosity to him

Thanks for adding to it with the oh-so-tired black coach discussion. Gee, that hasn't made the news cycles at all. The fact you're trotting it out though again underscores my point.

I'm guessing you never took debate class in school or didn't do well?

Was Dungy asked about Tebow in NY?

You appear to have wholly missed what I wrote, so I'll post it again:

I'm sorry, but we're well past that. I recall seeing any number of talking heads pontificate about the distractions Tebow would bring to any team that drafted him, but if you think it is reasonable to argue that there was no (as in zero) talk of Tebow being a distraction before his draft, then we'll have to let that…

I'll readily concede that I'm not willing to comb through thousands of five year old columns about Tebow. We're left with conflicting memories of the coverage at the time, and I can live with that. The fact that you think this excuses Dungy's shitty behavior is...odd to say the least. You're still left with Dungy…

Oy vey, you really do think that's more important than Dungy making the world a shittier place to live for people, especially young gay people, don't you? If you can just keep focused on that one thing, you can ignore everything else and pretend that Dungy's comments weren't motivated by an animus toward gay people.

How many times must I type this?

If Dungy himself didn't talk about distractions, and we both he didn't...then he's a goddamn hypocrite to apply that standard to Sam when he didn't discuss Tebow (or Vick) in those terms. Understand?

I accurately pointed out the distraction talk came once he was in the NFL not before the draft.

Please be specific about how he took a different approach.

Distractions? Nope, not mentioned.
