What's this talk of Dungy retiring? Why would he retire; he's still got a great team.

Talk was been going on since last year. Possibly the year before when his son died.
He has the superbowl ring he wanted and put together a rising defense in the Colts so if he leaves he'll be leaving them in good shape. I suspect he wants to spend more time with his family and be around with them more. I was surprised he even coached last year. I honestly thought he would quit seeing as his son killed himself.

Yeah, his kids have already enrolled in school in Tampa. Would be sad if he left coaching, but sometimes you got to do what you got to do.

What happened to Marvin Harrisson? Did he reinjure his knee?

who knows, but his fumble was the costliest thing to the colts. Lost momentum and a lost touchdown.

Lost Momentum - Yes, but I don't know about a lost TD since they were 20 yards away. That ball that went right through Keith's hands for the INT on the goal line was costlier I think.

That's so sad about his son. :(

I'm glad the Chargers won, now both LT and Rivers are injured, especially LT, I'm worried about next week.

ooops.

I guess Y'all were wrong, eh?

Too bad it was Billy Volek that won the game for them.

Colts defense played like crap today, and Rivers (surprisingly, to me) burned them for it. Congrats to them, there are no excuses the Chargers just played better and won.

And here's an early congrats to the NE fans as well for their team winning the Super Bowl.

Go Packers, I guess. I need a drink.

The only time where Rivers getting into it with the fans is acceptable is against NE. I hate everything Boston. Their people annoy me, their accents annoy me, their fans are annoying, their sports teams are annoying, you get the picture.

In other words: "I have an irrational bigotism towards Bostonians and everything they stand for and enjoy. My argument is logical, however, because it is a proven fact that Bostonians have annoying voices, fans, and sports teams."

At least if the Giants lose we won't have to see that god awful oreos commercial.

PSA: 2 half naked chicks licking an oreo is sexy and hawt, 2 football players is just wrong....

Oh, you wish we were that lucky. Unfortunately, their teams losing doesn't mean that they stop playing their commercials.

Oh well, my boys lost and it was heartbreaking. 3 trips to the redzone and turn the ball over and that is going to happen.

Go PACKERS and CHARGERS!!!

I great have respect for the Colts, especially coach Dungy. Here's to Colt's prosperity!

Though he'll be talking with Polian later, Dungy may decide to stop coaching.
