James Dungy found dead.

Like many NFL fans, I was very saddened to hear about the death of James Dungy. James was the 18 year-old son of Tony Dungy, head coach of the Indy Colts.

Tony is one of the true good-guys of the NFL. I have heard many of the stories about head coaches' daily habits of three-hours of sleep, all day at the office and long road trips away from home.

I think the only time I have seen family members of the coaches, is the trendy crowd shot of the wife and children in the stands, perhaps the owner's box. This time, it was on SportsCenter.
Tony Dungy is known for asking other head coaches around the league about their families before they get to the small talk about the teams. Dungy puts his family first. This time, his family was first; on SportsCenter. But for all the wrong and saddening reasons...

Take a moment and lift up a prayer to the Dungy family.
Take another moment and lift up a prayer for your family.

The Colts are going to Seattle to play the Seahawks this Sunday
...but who cares?
