I never said you owed anyone an apology. You just owe people becoming informed before spewing your hate filled rhetoric.
I'm only posting in this thread about it because like I said, I laugh often at these things and I got a totally different vibe and feeling from it. I felt glad for him when he said it.
then maybe i missed out on something special. but the point was, i spewed no hateful rhetoric, my post was purely a tribute to my fav comedian, lewis black, and his outraged take on american culture. apparently, christians don't have a sense of humor.

I was messing with you and your rhetoric you filthy lawyer-to-be. Don't sue me.

Your mother's a slut. Not because she is one, but because she dresses that way.

Yeah, I was just making light of your mother. Dave Chappelle's dialogue about sluts, and what they wear, is extremely funny. I hope you understand.
not really. dave chappelle is funny and that bit is funny. my post was funny. sadly, you are not. you see, you've got to learn 1) timing 2) set up, 3) delivery and 4) making the joke relevant to current discussion. plus, mom jokes are pretty weak in general. but ill give you a gold star for effort buddy. maybe when you get home your dad will give you a handjob as a reward.

I love the fact that people who didn't see it are commenting on it as if they have any clue.
It was an emotional moment for him I'm sure. He has lost his son, mom, and I think Dad all in the last 4 years or so. He has been criticized in the past (before he was a head coach) for his even tempered demenor and couldn't get an interview for a head coaching position because owners wanted a firery leader. Well, he stuck to his beliefs and handled himself his way, according to his faith and he ended up a champion. I'm sure he felt relieved, overjoyed, and above all had a great sense of satisfaction in that he could be the best and not compromise his integrity. And he wanted to share that thought with the world hoping to inspire others.
When some out of control, not so good a person thanks God for something it is certainly funny...and sad. But When Tony mentioned his faith, it means something because he lives it.
You know Cincy when somebody like that is thanking god or Allah or whoever, it does seem genuine. When you see some guy with gold capped teeth, way too much bling, guns, drugs, etc, well, something seems a little askew. May just be the way I see religion and the respect you have for the book you are supposed to be following.
Leave it to someone to be a jackass and make an assumption that the guy can't be genuine because he is a wealthy celebrity.
as the first reply stated....kills me when I see a millionare sports figure thanking god for making a shot, home run, touchdown.......actually quite sickening....but really think they do it because they are trying to convince themselves....hey I won the super bowl...I feel blessed....let me show all those non believers.
that asside he does seem like a class act.....as do many folks that express their faith. Both coaches were class acts....and think its great it offended white folk that it was brought up both coaches were African American.

yeah, i think that's why im skeptical of it, for the reasons even flow stated. all year they're beating their wives, impregnating mistresses, skipping out on child support, doing drugs, buying huge diamonds for themselves, and gunning down rival gang members (more so in hip hop). then they win an award or something and suddenly they're all humble, thanking god, and talking about christianity... where was that the other 364 days of the year? it's such a hollow lip service in most cases.
apparently this has not been the case with dungy. regardless, my first comment was just a gag reflecting the impressions i just mentioned. if dungy is different, i am happy to hear that but i still dont think my dumb little joke is a big deal and i never intended to belittle dungy's honest faith or offend anyone. i just got the impression it was yet another in a long line of the empty crap we've seen in athletics and music for years.

you see my point then?
Yeah, you're selling it. Don't get mad when someone unintentionally insults you.
Move ahead, I'm working in other threads now. This one has finally met it's end hopefully.
