I became aware of this through my friend Kevin Bussey. It’s a testimony from Tony Dungy, the coach of the Indianapolis Colts.  

“Athletes in Action celebrated its 19th Annual Super Bowl Breakfast with Tony Dungy as the first-ever Super Bowl coach to appear in person a day before the most pivotal juncture in his coaching life.”

“Dungy was greeted by multiple standing ovations from the record crowd of 2,500 people clearly appreciative for his many expressions of his faith to the worldwide media in Miami this week in advance of Super Bowl XLI.

“I’m very proud to be the first African American head coach in the Super Bowl along with my friend Lovie Smith,” Dungy said, “but more than that the fact you have two Christian coaches who show you can do things a different way.”                                                                                                                                [BP News]

What an amazing testimony from a godly man. It really took the Super Bowl experience to a different level.

Well, it was Super Bowl time again! This year (and most) I had no vested interest in the game, but always as a family we’re looking for any reason to have a party. The idea this year: let the kids pick who they want to win. James picked the Colts and Aida liked the Bears. So to make it fun, we decided that the boys would root for Indianapolis and the girls for Chicago.

We all dressed in team colors, my father bought the kids team hats and we wear ready to go! So with plenty of chips and salsa, the game began. It was a blast. Picking sides engaged the whole family. There was much cheering and gnashing of teeth over the next few hours, and in the end it was a great time had by all.

The results: The boy’s team won! Colts 29 Bears 17. Woo Hoo!

And here’s the reaction amongst the kids: 

Next sports party idea: March Madness (we can’t wait)!
