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.

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..:Dfinyank13 likes this. -

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" -

"Sorry Mr Ryan, but you're just gonna have to be patient; we have our entire staff on hand cooking your order." -
Rexxy :What! look you ****, I come into this ******* place every *bleep* morning..."MikeHoncho likes this. -

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.steveincolorado likes this.
