Tony Dungy is a Stud

Michael Vick doesn’t have many fans these days, most people would probably like to see him fade out of public eye and only remember him when there is an opportune time for a joke be it dog fighting, Ron Mexico, or some other poor decision related (guilty – I’ve landed my fair share at Vick’s expense). I respect the heck out of Tony Dungy for this.

The article doesn’t say anything too profound but to me what stands out is that Dungy would give of his time in the first place to go and visit with Vick when he could be simply enjoying his retirement somewhere and leaving the football world behind.

Makes me wonder why we are so quick to write people off when we believe in a God of second chances, a God who transforms, a God of grace and mercy. I pray that we begin to see ourselves and others through a different lens and are able to claim and repent of our hypocrisy.

    some interesting comments on that article. Interesting that Vick did his time and paid his debt. That’s justice according to our system right? And even then there are people who don’t want to give him a “second chance” and consider it still unjust to do so. thanks for pointing this article out! dungy is a stud.
