An Indianapolis Star sports columnist is not joining the "Dungy's staying!" fab club:
I am uncomfortable because I simply can't talk myself out of writing the following words, words that will incur the near-universal wrath of a city that has come to revere Tony Dungy, not only as a coach but as a man:
I meant to post on this yesterday, but it slipped my mind. What a great newspaper stunt:
January 13, 2008 -- IRVING, Texas, Jess win, baby!
Even a fake Jessica Simpson was good enough to throw off the Dallas Cowboys yesterday, as Big Blue took a Giant step toward the Super Bowl.
I couldn't see it, so I DON"T CARE:
Indiana's quest for a Big Ten basketball title begins tonight at Iowa with this big difference: The No. 11 Hoosiers (11-1) will face an 18-game conference schedule instead of the 16 they've played for the last decade.

The video is all over the place. It seems awfully contrived and stagy to me, and it certainly kept everybody from talking about, you know, football. The coach's record ain't that good, and he may have a touch of Bobby Knight Syndrome.

A 7-year-old boy was injured about 6 p.m. Thursday when he rode a bicycle into the path of a car being driven by the Muskogee High School head football coach.
