Local media is reporting it was a suicide.

I wonder what he is going to do about football. No one would blame him from taking this weekend off. Especially with the Colts locked in with the playoffs.

So sad.

From the press conference @ Colts Complex.


Bill Polian - I met with the staff and players... Jim Cauldwell will take over Tony's duties for however long he is away... and how long he is away is completely up to him.

I honestly don't expect to see him on the sideline until the first playoff game -- which is something like a month away. Why bother with something as insignificant as a job in which nothing can be gained over the next two weeks?

because people handle different things different ways.

some people want to stay home with family, some want to keep busy and going back to work may be the best thing for him. remember brett favre playing the day after his dad died? losing a parent and losing a child are nowhere near the same thing, but you get my point.

The kid's myspace blog has already been disabled. It was all Oakland Raiders/Randy Moss/thuggish-like.

That is putting it lightly. Looking at his myspace I would say the kid had some pretty big issue's. Did you see the part where he said the DC snipers were his heros?

I have first hand experience in knowing what Tony Dungy is going through right now. It isn't an experience I would wish on anybody, and my prayers go to him, his family, and the extended Colts family. Very sad.

I do still have hopes for a certain helicopter crash, though. :saywhat:
