Class Act.....

Like thousands of others, I watched the Superbowl last night. The Tennessee boy vs. the young thing. Two teams on the gridiron trying to play their game in nothing short of a downpour. Snaps that slipped due to the mud and wetness; passes caught then dropped because of the same. Challenge flags thrown and answered. I'm surprised they played as well as they did.

I have watched Tony Dungy coach for years. He is always calm and direct. I've never seen him throw anything or heard him say anything off color in anger. Last night, he became one of my heros.

The big news was that for the first time ever, a black coach was going to win the Superbowl, whether it be Tony Dungy or Lovie Smith. Yes, that was a big moment in history...agreed. However, when giving his acceptance speech after the game, Tony stated that though that fact was monumentous and he was honored to be recognized for that, the fact that both coaches, he and Lovie, were Christians and brought God to their game was much more important. This man witnessed simply to thousands upon thousands of people with a very brief and very humble statement. In my book, that's a class act.
