Sports By Brooks posted an article that made our New England Patriots-loving heart, in all it’s rah-rah Bill Belichick glory, break in a few pieces. (That’s really only the because our heart is frozen solid and we happen to drop it on the floor while reading the story. Not to worry; we patched it up again and threw it back in the freezer.)
Anyhow, Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy took a Tony the Tiger-sized swipe at the Pats during a visit to a Tampa, FL high school. Via Sports By Brooks, Tampa Tribune writer Joe Henderson cites Dungy’s response to a Spygate-ish question someone in the crowd raised:
“We talk about how important it is to do things the right way and have integrity so that when you do win, people can never ask that question . . . no one is really going to ask, ‘Did they cheat? Did they do things the right way?’ I think our record speaks for itself and if you’re a true champion, that’s the way you’d like it to be.“

In other words, by Dungy’s definition, the Patriots aren’t trued champions. But at least Coach D is nice about it.
That’s why we no doubt speak for numerous Pats fans when we say, “Tony Dungy, FOAD*. But in a nice way, ya big lug.”
*FOAD=F*** Off And Die. Meant to be funny, not a command to be taken literally. (Hey, better to overexplain, right?)
If Dungy was as classy as everyone says he is, he would refrain from making comments like this.
Pardon me but mister nice guys last name sort of fits his personality if you get my drift.
Go Caesar!
We like it when commenters help us turn the knife.
That’s exactly it, Sarah. He could have answered that question without talking smack. Apparently when your rival is the target all bets are off in the class department.
