http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/08/16/tony-dungy-disappointed-with-rex-ryans-profanity/ No surprise, and I'd bet Dungy occasionally indulged in the FBomb dropping in all of his time in the NFL, however a Ryan and Dungy mix just would never have worked.
Given of how religious Tony is, it isnt a surprise..... that being said, it is grown men, playing a violient game who may or may not be as smart as Mr. Dungy...sometimes these guys like to be around that it gets them going... remember on Hard Knocks the other night, when the RB, ran into Kris Jenkins, and all he did was swear, and ripped his helmet off....I mean get over it, it is football...I have heard swears, sheet talking, the n-word all on gameday, accidently picked up by the mics.....I would argue that it is a big part of the game.....the fans just dont hear it alot...
Tony Dungy got to his players without ever cursing. I remember one of his players saying that Dungy once said the word "damn" and everyone just stared at him. It's all about gaining respect IMO and that doesn't have to be through foul language. It can be but it doesn't necessarily have to be, which I think is Dungy's point.
Keep in mind FY..Dungy coached Warren Sapp, one of the most colorful mouths in the history of the NFL.. To me, Dungy's point is that it is one thing for the players to drop F-bombs, it is another for the supposed "Chief Executive" to constantly do so. I mostly agree with Tony Dungy on this one, and i'm quite aware that Sparano has as err.."salty"..vocab as Rexxy, you never would hear Sparano say that stuff on camera. But sometimes the sideline mics pick up some of Sparano's more colorful phrases..
5---4---3---2---1 Ryan "I don't give a F what Tony Dungy says. what has he won?" Reporter " The Superbowl" Ryan " You going to eat that sandwich on your plate?"
Several, I believe he was on some of those Steeler SB winning teams? That really would be the oddcouple, can you imagine each one going through a drive thru order line? "Sorry Mr, Dungy, we are out of your favorite coffee" "Sorry Mr Ryan we are out of sausage"
or "Sorry Mr Ryan, but you're just gonna have to be patient; we have our entire staff on hand cooking your order."
Tony Dungy "that is quite alright, could I have a green herbal tea instead"? Rexxy :What! look you ****, I come into this ******* place every *bleep* morning..."
Heard an interview with Dungy on LeBatard once. He claims he hasn't used any profanity in his adult life. I believe him. He's pretty devout. There's a guy I work with who's the same way, and can't stand to hear anyone else drop an F Bomb. I make sure to say it around him quite often
There was a guy I knew in the Navy that used to ask people to turn it to the "Disney" channel. That went over well... Poor guy. I think he cried one day.
I cant wait till the end of this year after we sweep the Jets as they go 5-11, then they lose half of their stars to FA And rex ryan is fat againg bche still eats like a horse. Did u see on HK, he has a patio where he hides and eats. He is going to be fat again(more) , and not have players, he is ging to wonder if it was all a dream
There's a time and place for that kind of language. You'd think on a football field would be one of them though. Personally, I don't completely trust people who refuse to cuss. If you want to drop the f-bomb and drop "frog" instead, you're lying in a way.
