Tony Dungy's Son Found Dead

I promise you I'm not a Colts fan, but I had to make a quick comment on this. For those of you who haven't heard, James Dungy, the son of Colts head coach Tony Dungy, was found dead in his apartment. He was 18 years old. The cause of death is still pending an autopsy. The head coach flew down to Tampa to take care of things.

Here's my question...and please don't consider me heartless, I'm just a "sportswriter." Will this affect the Colts in a negative way in their drive for a Super Bowl Trophy? I would think that this could help them. A way for the players to play for their coach just a little bit harder on every play to try and ease the pain a bit with success on the field. To give him his first trophy, and the first one ever to a black head coach. It's a shame that his son won't be able to share the moment with him though.

Coach Dungy, I'm sure nothing I say will ease your pain, but I am sorry to hear the news about your son and my deepest condolences go out to you and your family. Stay strong, like the Coach you are.
