Sad News today for Tony Dungy

[gardenweasel]

there`s some movie on cable about white kids in wisconsin or minnesota who are gangsta` wannabe`s.....

it`s a pretty wacky movie...but,it`s pretty riveting...."white boys" or something....

whatever...check it out...it`s funny and extremely pathetic at the same time...

don`t know a thing about the dungy kid...but,from what i`ve seen and read(admittedly from afar),the old man seems to be a straight shooter and a totally class act....

it`s ashamed that all this success dungy`s experienced has to be ruined because of his son`s tragic suicide....

makes you question your faith(if you are of that inclination)....

very sad..

YEAH ITS FUNNY. THATS WHY YOU SEE THE TV SHOWS WITH WHITE PEOPLE TRYING TO BE BLACK. EVEN VERIZON IS TRYING TO PORTRAY OLD PEOPLE AS BLACK, WITH THAT COMMERCIAL OF OLD PEOPLE DANCING-LIKE THAT OLD WHITE MAN TRYING TO GRIND THAT OLD LADY FROM BEHIND, THEN AN OLD LADY SAYING WITH BAD GRAMMAR "WHERE YOU AT"

oh, I see.....I forgot.

everything white=uncool
everything black=cool

and this is not an indictment on black people or black culture by any stretch......this is nothing other than the dumbing down of white america and what a lot of us tend to believe about who and what we are.......nobody is to blame for that except white america themselves. You support garbage, you continue to get garbage.

Correct and it is a terrible disgrace.

EVEN WHITE KIDS TRY TO BE GANSTAS-AND ITS FUNNY AS SHIT.

Yeah I know what you mean its the same when blacks try to act white, for example Charlie Pride, Arthur ash, tiger woods to name a few. Seriously I didn't know hip-hop/gangster was exclusively Black as you have pointed out. I do agree that we have double standards though, as what I put above would be looked at much differently than what you wrote. And its ashame!

EVEN THOUGH TIGER IS HALF JAPANESE, I CAN NOT IMAGINE HIM WITH A BLACK WOMAN. HE AS WHITE AS YOU CAN GET. IF HE COULD, HE WOULD GET RID OF HIS BLACK LIPS.

ENIMEM IS EXCEPTED AS A WHITE BOY ACTING GANSTA. VANILLA ICE WAS NOT.

I will assume you are pretty young since you made no mention of Ash or Pride. My point though sarcastic was you are assuming that the hip-hop/gangsta culture is exclusively Black. That makes just as much sense as saying the golf,tennis,and country genre are exclusively white and any balck is laughable that attempts to take part.

You say "THIS IS A RACIST, DOUBLE STANDARD SOCIETY WE LIVE IN AND IT WONT CHANGE ANYTIME SOON"

You then Say "EVEN THOUGH TIGER IS HALF JAPANESE, I CAN NOT IMAGINE HIM WITH A BLACK WOMAN. HE AS WHITE AS YOU CAN GET. IF HE COULD, HE WOULD GET RID OF HIS BLACK LIPS."


WOW :scared :scared :scared

Police: James Dungy survived October overdose

Star report
A Florida hospital treated James Dungy for a drug overdose two months before his apparent suicide, according to police records.

The oldest son of Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy was found dead Thursday in his apartment in Lutz, Fla., a Tampa suburb. Autopsy results may be available today. The Hillsborough County (Fla.) Medical Examiner's Office said the death is an apparent suicide.
On Oct. 21, James Dungy, 18, said he was depressed when he took about 14 prescription painkillers, according to a Hillsborough County sheriff's report.

Yea and this is why this country is going down the shitter. Some where along the line it became cool to act black with the young people. Some ****ed up shit. But if anybody tried to change it they would be called racist pigs. I could write a chapter about the subject here but would get lambasted by the same indivduals that think it is allright. So I will leave it at that.

YYZ REMINDS ME ABOUT A GUY I WORK WITH WHO DOES NOTHING BUT LAUGHS AT HIS OWN STUPID JOKES. EVERYONE REALLY HATES HIM AND CALLS HIM A C-OCKSUCKER.

Instead of listening to his jokes, maybe you should just make sure you don't burn the fries.......



I don't see a rally cry in this fuking place every time someone croaks, do you? Because it's Tony Dungy's kid, we need a moment of silence? I crack a joke, and I'm the biggest ass in town? Great.....if that makes you feel like more of a "saint", because you can point a finger at me, go ahead. I didn't kill that fuking kid.

It's more of a joke that people "care" because of who it is, not because he's dead! Do you know how many thousands of people die in this country every day? How many jokes about death get tossed about? I tell one about your "boy", and all hell breaks loose! (And it wasn't even that bad of a joke, really.)

Yeah, I'm irreverent. I always have been about people and things that I have no attatchment to. If your kid kills himself, I won't make a joke about it. Would I be better off having said nothing? Sure. But, I figure most of you guys are big enough to handle it. You can post porn, filthy videos of guys taking shits, call women bitches, whores, sluts, etc......but how dare "yyz" make a joke on the heels of someones death.

Hey, if it cleanses your pathetic soul in some way, shape, or form, to pound on me over this.....if it makes you rise to the top in your mind, that you are a great human being, and have some measure of compassion over this, well good for you.

Maybe if this kid interacted with some three dimentional faces, instead of frontin' with the two dimentional ones on his "site", he'd still be "keepin' it real"?

What u think 'bout dat, yo?

I hate to admit, but you make some good points. And yes, people die every day but most of those people arent people from my community (or their family) that do good things every day for my community and that I think are stand up class acts. So if I would have cracked some jokes when Favres Dad died, maybe that would have struck a nerve with you? Maybe not but I just didnt think it was a joking matter.

THAT COMMENT REMINDS ME OF SO MANY TIMES, WHEN A NON-WHITE KID IS MISSING OR MURDERED, THERE IS LITTLE TO NO NATIONAL NEWS COVERAGE. BUT BOY, IF ITS SOME WHITE KID, ITS ALL OVER THE WORLD MEDIA. THIS IS A RACIST, DOUBLE STANDARD SOCIETY WE LIVE IN AND IT WONT CHANGE ANYTIME SOON

Watch NFL Network or ESPN. That is all they are talking about today.. And last i looked, the kid was black... Tons of media attention..

This is about being famous. Not about being black or white. Race isnt even an issue here why even bring it up??

WELL, THIS IS A SPORTS FORUM AND DUNGY IS RELATED TO SPORTS, SO IT IS A TOPIC. NO ONE IS ASKING FOR A MOMENT OF SILENCE...NO NEED FOR CRUDE JOKES. NOT SO SOON. GET IT??
WHY, CAUSE HE'S BLACK?

GOOD ONE ON THE FRIES..EXPECTED THAT FROM YOU...YOU A CLOWN..SOMEONE WHO NEEDS ATTENTION...TRY THIS WITH EVERYONE LOOKING...WRAP YOUR GLASSES WITH CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, STICK YOU C_OCK IN A OUTLET AND SEE DOES IT LIGHT UP..YOULL GET PLENTY OF LAUGHS, AFTER ALL, THAT WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU...YYZ THE CLOWN....THE BAD KARMA CLOWN....................WATCH YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!SHOW THEM WHAT YOUR WORKING WITH!!!!!!!!!!

GIB, GET A CLUE. IF IT WASNT DUNGY KID, YOU WOULD NEVER HEAR ABOUT THIS. TRUE, WHILE DUNGY DAD MIGHT BE FAMOUS, WHAT LITTLE WHITE GIRL KIDNAPPED, MISSING OR MURDURED WAS FAMOUS BEFORE THE MEDIA PLASTERED THEM EVERYWHERE? NONE. WHO THE FUK IS JON RAMSEY BONET, DONT KNOW SPELLING,BEFORE MEDIA TOOK OVER. SHE WAS JUST ANOTHER MISSING KID. WAIT.......AH, SHE WAS A PRETTY WHITE KID, HENCE ALL THE MEDIA COVERAGE

Sounds like you are the one with the Race issues. Cause i can tell you, white people dont give a flying f**k what color of person Tiger Woods dates. Or any other person for that matter. Who gives a shit if a black guy dates white women? its a preference.

Get rid of his black lips???? What the f#ck is that? Just b/c a black man speaks proper english and not slang, doesnt mean he wishes he was white.

A couple of my black friends from collage dont act like thugs and they are always catching flack from people in there neighborhood? I had to stop going over to my buddy Andrews house because the the folks in his apt complex would harass him for having white friends...Even his mom would give him shit. I cant imagine anyone in my family telling me not to hang out with black folks. Now that is your double standard..

Why is this? Why cant a black man talk educated and non "gangsta" or have white friends without being called an uncle tom?? Of course my buddies dont really mind since they have degrees now and real jobs. Most of the guys that give them shit are still in the same neighborhood still working the same jobs...but at least they are keeping it real

wow.. was on my soap box there..... anyway your post is idiotic :flus

Yes, if it was not a Dungy kid you would have not heard about it.. Thank you for proving my point.


My friend Raymond killed himself in high school. Ever heard of him????? My friend David was shot and killed trying to protect his pregnant wife during a robbery attempt about 3 years ago.. Ever hear of him? Your points are lame.. but if it makes you feel better to think that White People are out to get you... fine... im not going to change it.. Just stay an angry black man... one of these days you will take the chip off your shoulder and realize that nobody gives a shit what color you are...

So if I would have cracked some jokes when Favres Dad died, maybe that would have struck a nerve with you? Maybe not but I just didnt think it was a joking matter.

Actually, I make jokes about everyone. Some see it as wrong, but most see it as a "joke".

Remember all the Princess Di jokes? Christ.....there were tons! How about the Kennedy's? The list is endless.

What about the "Tookie" jokes?

Here's one for you:


I don't believe in a "god". I absolutely hate it when someone dies, and a person says, "Well.....he's in a better place."

Fuk you! He's dead! What's "better" about that?

So, you're right.....it's all in our personal perception of shit.


Remember when that plane slid off the runway in Chicago a couple weeks ago? A 6 year old boy was killed when his parrents car was crushed by the plane. Now, that's tragic.....no doubt about it. But you need to come away from the tragic side, and get back to the "norm". So, I told some people at work that at least it wasn't all bad news. They asked me why? I told them well, if it would have happened after Christmas, it would have been harder to take his presents back.

Okay. Now, just like at work......some of you are saying, "You are such a dick!" BUT Some of you like-minded sick bastards are laughing at that! JUST LIKE AT WORK!


Just be happy it isn't someone in your clan.

NO NEED FOR CRUDE JOKES. NOT SO SOON. GET IT??
WHY, CAUSE HE'S BLACK?

Nah, only black people, or wannabes in a sports forum bring up the race card. Why would a white person? We own everything!!!!

GOOD ONE ON THE FRIES..EXPECTED THAT FROM YOU...YOU A CLOWN..SOMEONE WHO NEEDS ATTENTION...TRY THIS WITH EVERYONE LOOKING...WRAP YOUR GLASSES WITH CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, STICK YOU C_OCK IN A OUTLET AND SEE DOES IT LIGHT UP

Well, I don't need attention, but I do like it! As for your science experiment? I've been out of school for quite some time now, but it would not work. A man's penis would not be a good conductor for the electrical current, thus sticking it in the outlet would not get the desired effect of lighting the lights. In fact, if a human male "could" manage to place his sex organ into the small confines of an electrical outlet, he would most likely incur serious physical damage. In the future....you should not recommend this to anyone!
