I want to like Dungy, but his race comments are really no different than John Thompson's (Georgetown University's hard-cord racist basketball coach for several years).
Dungy and Smith were just responding to the inevitable questions. Both immediately shifted the focus to their teams (or tried too).
What is laughable to me is that while we are going to be constantly bombarded with this topic from the talking heads, it is almost always prefaced with the caveat "we look forward to the day when this is not even worth commenting on". If the media would quit talking about it, we will have reached that day, lol.
