Default The Dungy thing is getting a little bit overblown

Not that losing your son, during what is suppose to b the most happiest time of the yr for some, and I think this is a very depressing situation. But the media including ESPN, just keep harping on it, like it was the second coming of 9/11 . I used to respect Chris Berman, but he is getting a little nausiating. I dont remember when Bill Belichick lost his father, or when Bill Parcells lost his brother, get this much attention. Im not knocking the loss of Dungy's son,which it is a tragedy. But dont make it like the loss of Walter Payton, John Lennon, or JFK. Mention it , offer your sorrows, and move on. The only person that should be grieving is the dungy family, not espn..........

I agree, but obviously you and I will get shot down by Democrat bleeding hearts.

I'm conservative, and I disagree. Nothing more tragic than outliving your child. While I'm not in favor of the tributes to the son, I completely understand and support the grieving.

There's a big difference between losing a father or brother who had lived a long life and died due to illness and having your 18-year-old son take his own life. Anyone who is a parent knows there is no greater loss than this.
And coming from a fan of the Patriots, who have had the king of all longwinded, drawn out, overblown, nauseating stories with Bruschi coming back is rich.

Not that this matters, but I am a bleeding heart liberal and I think the coverage is a bit excessive too.......

I agree with that. Of course it's tragic, and the grieving was deserved and necessary. But it is getting overblown now.

This type of stuff really burns your biscuits,huh? Guess if he had won 3 super bowls , then you'd have a different take. Lay off the guy and stop making threads about how this bother you. Remember the world offered their condolences for BB's pappy, which was not as unfortunate or tragic as this.

Same here. But that being said, I agree with those who say you can't judge a kid by his or her's glorifyed personal website.

Why does the right wing always try to blame everything on the left? Just because someone has compassion, does not make him a bleeding heart liberal. Republicans always seem to take any chance to take a shot at the other side. And before you right wingers start the name-calling, I am an independent.

I think both sides are equally guilty here.
