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.
