fcuk that is terrible. I had scene the Dungy family in Tampa a lot when I he coached the Bucs. I still remember him signing autograghs with his son after a game on the way to his Suv with his family. I can see the face of 12 or 13 year old kid with him.
Probably the son who died.

My heart and prayers go out to Tony and his beautiful family. What a tragedy. I have met with and spoke to Tony on numerous occassions when he was with the MN Vikings. He was a member of my church, and one very religious, and humble man. This is such a sad and devastating event, RIP James, and prayers for the enire family!

WOW. What horrible news for Coach Dungy and his family. It's tough for any parent to lose a child, but knowing how involved he is with the NFL and their Father's projects, this will really hit home. Can't even access the Indy Star website. My prayers go out to Coach and his family.
The 18-year-old son of Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy died in Florida, authorities said today.
His girlfriend found James A. Dungy, 18, dead in a Tampa-area apartment. He was pronounced dead at University Community Hospital, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department said in a news release.
The cause of death remains under investigation and an autopsy is pending by the Hillsborough County Medical Examiners Office.
Antoinette Anderson, 18, found James Dungy in a unit of the Campus Lodge Apartments in Lutz, Fla. about 1:32 a.m., police said.
James Dungy is the second-oldest of the five children of Tony Dungy and his wife, Lauren. The oldest is Lauren, who last year was a sophomore at Spelman College in Atlanta; behind James is Eric, a middle schooler who in 2004 attended Park Tudor School, followed by son Jordan, who is about kindergarten age, and Jade, about a year younger than Jordan.
Tony Dungy's family life is guided by his faith, and he instilled discipline in his children and conveyed high expectations. James and Eric sometimes watched Colts games from the sidelines, but they had to earn that viewing vantage point.
Last year, when James was a senior at North Central High School and stood 6-foot-7 and weighed 235 pounds, sometimes was mistaken for one of his father's players. The boys, who began watching their father's players at practice when they were just 3 or 4 years old, had to do well in school to get to travel with the team.
In a story published in The Star in December 2004, James Dungy said: "If you don't keep your grades up, you don't go to away games.''
Tony Dungy has left the Colts and is in Tampa. Indianapolis plays at Seattle this Saturday, ESPN.com reported.

being a father, I couldn't even fathom the thought of losing one of my kids....being a colts fan, I've had a great pleasure watching Tony Dungy and the classy and proud manner in which he conducts himself both as a coach and more importantly as an individual away from the game....he is a great man and this is truly a tragic day for him and his family....I don't know what else to say.....once again we are reminded of what is truly important in this world. God bless him and his family!!
I changed my mind on this kid after reading about his beliefs and views on this page of his.....this was one messed up kid and his wanna be gangsta act probably got him what he deserved. Hero: DC snipers......wow, how cool!! See ya!!
