    Sam and Tebow are pretty comparable because their supporters could be a damaging as their detractors but I think the difference is that Sam's situation could be more vitriolic and harder to deal with. Homophobia is really strong in our country while Christianity is a cherished belief held by a large segment of our population. The Sam situation just has more potential for volatility than even the Tebow show.

    Some kids turn out sh*tty regardless of who their parents are. I wouldn't hold that stuff against him.

    that is where I strongly disagree. What he said wasn't inflammtory, anti-gay or a peronal attack. But those hungry to see the agenda for greater gay acceptance will misrepresent and/or exaggerate it as such.

    I agree to a point. Dungy was a media darling for a long time. And there was something to his son's story. I know his son suffered from major depression but anybody know if he was gay also?

    Takes a hell of a lot more courage to come out of the closet and be a role model to those in that unique situation than to be an outspoken christian.

    That's not a slam at all. I read this yesterday and thought good for Dungy.

    One of the most respected, nicest NFL coaches in league history giving his true opinion on the matter instead of just supporting the gay agenda no matter what. It makes me sick to hear people insincerely support a guy like Michael Sam just because it's the cool thing to do or what is required. It's not like Dungy said "I hate gays!"

    I have said basically the exact same things about Michael Sam. He will be nothing but a distraction. If he turns out to be a beast in the league somehow, it will be one of the worst things that has ever happened to the league (for our sake) because it will trump what we saw with Tebowmania. Prepare for 24/7 coverage of Sam on ESPN.

    There was nothing wrong with Dungy's comments, and I actually think it's pathetic that we've become so politically correct that stuff like this is considered out of line.

    Remember when the sweet old Chik fil a guy said he believed marriage should be between a man and a woman and everyone in America freaked the **** out and said he was a homophobe and hated gays? Lol it's just getting out of hand.

    You can still support and accept gay people without agreeing with them sucking wang.
