An impressive testimony, no doubt.
I have to quibble though, when he said that he and Lovey Smith were the "first Christian" coaches to coach a Superbowl. I gotta figure he mis-spoke on that one.
Surely, of the 80 coaches before them, there is at least one Christian.

I have to agree. Interesting that it is even a topic in today's climate, however.

Tony didn't use the word 'first.' He only used the word Christian.

How about Joe Gibbs and the Denver coach (I am getting old and name memory is getting to be a problem)?

He didn't say that they were the first Christian coaches. He said that they were Christian coaches showing that you could win doing it the Lord's way.

Joe Gibbs is way ahead of those guys. I'm sure there were other christian superbowl coaches before Joe, too. Mmm, maybe Don Shula and George Allen, who met in Superbowl 7. Who knows. A very wonderful testimony, all the same.

"Christian coaches showing you can win the Lord's way - that's what I'm more proud of." No "first" in that quote.

I am sure he misspoke. I remember that Joe Gibbs and Dan Reeves are Christians, and the Redskins and Broncos held a joint worship service the Saturday before the Super Bowl.

Vince Lombardi, the driving force behind the concept of a Super Bowl was a devout Christian. So devout, in fact, that he would not allow the Packers to play on Thanksgiving, as he believed they belonged at home with their families on that day!

Why is there such a concerted effort to put the word "first" into Tony Dungy's quote, and then get indignant about it?
I saw this start on the thread last night.
He most certainly did NOT say first. And the way he deflected all of the media hoopla, to a Christian reference was absolutely wonderful.
