You forgot to mention that Dungy turned around one of the worst NFL franchises ever in Tampa Bay. Also, his career record is 139 and 69. How could he not be one of the best coaches?

Solid blog… I feel that the McNair argument is a bit of a stretch, but he was always on the injury report, so see where you’re coming from…

Bobby, don’t mind Jerry. He’s likely never played a sport in his entire life, so he doesn’t understand that it’s possible to get motivated like that.

you couldnt be more off on the ray lewis front…this guy is a true leader…vocally and by example….and when these guys talk about playing for the U and how they are family…they arent blowing smoke up anyones ass….lewis’ best friend/roomate at the U and fellow linebacker, marlin barnes, was brutally murdered in their apartment….remember bryan pata…sean taylor…ask our boy brandon merriweather who had to let off a registered gun down there to protect himself and some teammates from an assailant….these guys are thick as thieves down at the U…they break bread and workout together in the offseason…even if they didnt play at there at the same time

im a pats season ticket holder…my seats in old foxboro were in sec 112 right by the visitors ramp…had a nice short convo with ray when i was in high school….good guy

ray lewis has had alot of pain in his life…fought through it….accomplished a hell of alot…nobody works harder…nobody watches more film(ask darren sproles…lewis blew him up on 4th down couple weeks ago because he read blocks and shot the gap)…still doing it after all these years when most have fallen off….believe me…all of em…suggs,ngata, reed….they all still look up to ray….

” And I also think this mythology around him is part of the reason Adalius Thomas and Bart Scott left Baltimore. It’s only human nature that you can only listen to this nonsense so long before you want to go somewhere where they’ll recognize that you play hard all the time because you’re a hard working player. And not because you want to make your Accessory to Murder Middle Linebacker proud”

i hope you arent serious….they left to get paid jackass…scott made a ton of money he wasnt going to make here because they had to pay suggs and make a decision between keeping lewis or scott…and while scott is a good player…i think its a no brainer…ray is the heart/soul and face of the ravens

westcoast…no one gives a shit about the seattle seahawks….they werent comin off an undefeated season and matt hasselback didnt break every record known to the qb position…..and on your other point about teams traveling to opposite coasts, the media is biased towards the east coast..always has been in every aspect of tv…it has nothin to do with goodell favoring the patriots.?

When’s that prick Lewis going to retire? Isn’t he overdue for another manslaughter arrest?
