What a sad story. This is the worst time to lose someone...especially a son. My prayers go out to his family.

I have followed Tony Dungy's professional life since he was a quarterback at the Universoty of Minnesota more years ago than I care to rememebr. Tony Dungy is a gentleman and a class act that is second to none. This is a very sad day.

i hope that this will motivate the colts to win it for their coach so he at least has something that might possibly lessen the pain

Hardly doubt football, or anything dealing with it will help this M8...

This shit goes beyond football.......... I was very sad to hear this because Dungy has carried himself with class and diginity ever since he came into the spotlight...... he never bitched that Jon Gruden won the superbowl using his players and his system.....and now finally he's been around long enough with the Colts to build the team up himself and look where they're at......great coach...great guy....very, very sad story..

Yea, I heard it was suicide also. That makes it even worse. My heart breaks for that family. Dungy sure is a class-act.

I don't want to start any conspiracy theories, but it seems odd that his girlfriend went for a walk for 10 minutes before he died(around 1 AM, and then came back and found him dead.

"Authorities say he spent that evening with his girlfriend, who left the apartment to go for a walk shortly after 1 a.m., said sheriff's spokeswoman Carter. The girlfriend returned about 10 minutes later and found Dungy in the apartment, not breathing. Paramedics rushed him to University Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead."
