In other words, you're lazy when it comes to thinking.

    Dungy's speech was inspiring, whether you believe in God or not. He was greatful that he was faced with obstacles, and if you know anything about football, you know what he's talking about. it would be so easy to give up if you were him. He was offering advice to all of us, regardless of your religious beliefs, but if you're that scared of the word "God," seriously, you are way too sensitive and take yourselves way too fucking seriously.

    Take a step back from your hyper sensitive world and actually LISTEN to what he was saying.

    War Peyton :)

    i didnt see his speech, nor do i particularly care. i just find it kinda funny when people winning inane awards act like god is on their side... cos someone's losing and does that mean god is against them? it's just goofy.

    if the right can bitch endlessly about elite hollywood liberals acting like they can tell us about politics, im entitled to poke fun at athletes and artists who act like god is their assistant PR rep.

    Nobody is being hyper sensitive here but the people getting worked up because some of us think it's laughable to bring up god when talking about sporting events. We are laughing and you guys are the ones who can't seem to handle that.
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Perhaps Dungy should be put in charge of our crusading forces in Iraq since he gets results. Kinda like a "no huddle surge" or something.

    Leave it to you to bring Iraq into this. I didn't think it was possible, but you were able to do it, congrats.

    Congrats to Dungy and the Colts. Sometimes it doesn't seem like there are many role models in professional sports, but Dungy, and Lovie Smith for that matter certianly seem like good ones.

    so what should the bears think? god doesn't love them as much as the colts?

    did you tear up or something then he got the trophy? was it an emotional moment in your life?


    Wait a minute, don't you go to school in Chicago?


    Now I get it. It's not about Dungy's faith at all. Is it?


    I think we should ask YOU, if YOU squirted a few tears over your loss? Was it an emotional time in YOUR life? Were you just dying for a chance to break into the superbowl shuffle at the end of the game?

    Sorry kiddo, I know how your feeling, keep your chin up, maybe next year huh?

    Thanks ! It was actually quite easy. If you Christians like Dungy really cared they would melt the Lombardi trophy down and sell the silver to buy books and supplies for displaced Iraqi children. Hollow servants, I say.

    The difference being Dungy wasn't saying I won the superbowl believe in God. Yet any Liberal Douche Hollywood type, Sean Pean, Tim Robbins, Danny Glover, Ben Affleck, Susan Surandon, Alec Baldwin, the list goes on, are telling us how to vote and what issues are important. You can't even compare the two.

    They are voicing their opinion just like everyone else does. They just happen to be famous. What's your point?

    I don't think the trophy actually belongs to Dungy the owners of the Colts would have to make that call.

    Don't worry I'm sure since Dungy is wealthy he is paying more money in taxes for things like new roads, schools, hospitals, and infrustructer in Iraq that Iraq children will enjoy then you will every pay in your lifetime.

    You were making it sound like when a singer or athlete gives a shout out to God they are somehow telling you about God or shoving it down your throat, which couldn't be any further from the truth. Yet any time a Hollywood Liberal Elitist opens their mouth about a political issue it's as if they're preaching to us.

    His point is, Dungy isn't telling people how to think, he merely stated how he thinks when he was asked.

    On your side of the spectrum, all those genius hollywood types who all believe themselves to be pseudo "political scientists" just love to tell people how to think, why their right and you, are somehow wrong.

    Everybody has an agenda. Don't get sucked in.

    She certainly wasn't making it sound that way, neither was anyone else. We were just laughing, that's all. It's funny that people think god takes sides in sporting events.

    Everyone thinks what they are saying is right...just like your posts here or any of mine. I wouldn't bother typing them if I thought they were wrong, neither would you. Famous people just get more press. I don't know of anyone who thinks these hollyowood people are geniuses. Where do you get this? Just because they get press and you don't is no reason to be so bitter.

    Ok, it just didn't seem that way in abatm's post awhile back (I don't know how to post it to show you).

    Huh? Assumptions can be a bitch, if ya hadn't heard already. I didn't say anything close to that.

    I wasn't assuming anything, maybe I misread what you wrote.

    Yeah I get it, you have an opinion, so do I, we're all happy and good.

    The comparison was Dungys answer to a question, and a few hollywood celebs listed by Illinoisemakers telling people how to think.

    Since way too many people listen to what they say, that constitutes the fact that a lot of ignorant people soak up all their bullshit.

    Who's bitter?

    Ya know, I have a nice amount of people that regularly like to listen to what I have to say, and up until now, I 've never really talked politics. But tomorrow, I'm gonna go ahead and do it. You've inspired me Abook, thank you so so much. :)

    But unlike those other assholes, I'm a Political Science/ Law Societies and Justice major. So I guess I can back my statements up with cognitive intelligent thought.

    Thank you friend, I'll send you a T-Shirt.

    Nobody tells people how to think. They only voice their own opinion. If someone actually told other people they had to think their way, most people would be like 'fuck you.' Everyone likes to think that they are thinking for themselves.

    I guess you are the only one who can decide who is ignorant or not considering your major and all. Everyone else who disagrees with your view must be ignorant. How cute. But just to let you know, many of the people you adamently disagree with have way more schooling than you have, A LOT more. So what's your point? A degree means shit.

    You go out and do whatever you wish and say what you feel. We all like that freedom, famous or not.

    A T-shirt would be a nice gesture. Thanks.

    Thanks, but I'm not just cute, I'm freakin adorable.

    Every time some celebrity makes an effort to speak in public, they're trying to sway your opinion, flying to DC to speak, not just participate in the march is a good example. Dungy merely answered a question.

    I didn't say the education was necessary, but it certainly helps. I can back up my arguments with sound science, not emotional hearsay.

    Yep, degrees mean shit, I agree with you. Merely pieces of paper.

    I will absolutely do whatever I want and feel cause I'm a Libertarian and I love FREEDOM!

    But remember what I said, everyone has an agenda, so the T-Shirt could totally be a ploy to gain your favor here on the boards. HMMMM? What to do, what to do?

    We always talk so late, I got a big day tomorrow so I'll catch you later. Tune in 8:00 pm Pacific to KSER.ORG for my shitty punk show. ;)
