IndyFootballReport.com has found out about Tony Dungy and his blog. One of his blog posts are about former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. Dungy will be Vick's mentor, which is very nice of him. See guys, even when Dungy isn't doing things on the NFL field, in coaching standards I mean by standing around and holding those headphones of his, he still makes an impact. Here are some good experts that John Oehser of the website found:My role has been only to assist him, to answer questions and to
give my advice to a young man who is trying to get his life back on
track. . . .I'm happy with the position Michael has taken. I've met with him
twice and spoken with him on the phone a few other times and I believe
he is really focused on putting his life back together. Sure, he would
love to play football in the NFL again, but I think he has other
priorities. He has missed his family and looks to get those
relationships going again, especially with his three children. I think
he realizes not only how important they are to him, but also how
important he is to their development. He has missed 18 months of that
development and he wants his whole family together again. He also would
like to have a positive impact on young people's lives and he realizes
that his dog-fighting conviction has been a huge negative in that
respect. I know he wants to turn that around and help kids understand
the importance of good decision-making. . . .I also think Commissioner Goodell is doing everything he can to
help Michael succeed in life, as well as in the NFL. I have agreed to
be part of that team that will try to help him. I'm going to be
speaking and meeting with Michael on a regular basis. I had agreed with
Michael to do this even before talking with the NFL office, and my
involvement will be to help Michael in any way I can. I don't imagine
it will be different than what I've done with all the players I've
coached. I've stayed in touch with many of the guys, even after they
have left our team, and have always tried to be there if they needed
me. In Michael's case, I am not working for the NFL, but just doing
what I can as a concerned friend.I think Michael deserves the chance to show people he has
changed and learned from past mistakes, but my true hope is that he
will make sound decisions about his future and, at the same time, let
people know more about the person that I've come to know recently. I
know the public will be skeptical, but I think, over time, people will
find there's a different side to him than what they've seen so far. And
that's really my goal, to help him let people see the other side of
Michael Vick.Nice work John! More updates heading your way, and I am serious. Got another article coming up now.
