Tony Dungy usually never has anything bad or snarky to say about anyone (except gays), but he seems to really have a bee in his bonnet about Spygate. Which is fine with me because if Dungy is upset about it, the league will probably take it more seriously than if, say, Al Davis, who is constantly upset all the time over everything in the universe, was upset about it.
PFT's Mike Florio, who must have silently wept because he couldn't find anywhere to shove the word "tampering" into this article, points out the remarks Dungy made regarding EA's updated "Head Coach" game.
Dungy's most intriguing response came when he was asked about the presence in the video game of cheat codes that would permit spying on the opponent. Said Dungy: "They say that's really a big secret around here, it's like Spygate. I don't know if they put that in there or not or what the penalty would be if you entered any cheat codes, but we'll probably only let New England have cheat codes."
Oooh, sassy!
It's actually pretty damn funny coming from Dungy, especially since you know the only video game in his house is Left Behind: Eternal Forces. Oh no, Tony! Watch out for the band member! If you hear him, you'll lose spirit points!

I still have a smile on my face thinking about the Patriots choking in the Super Bowl. I imagine all of obnoxious Pats fans tearing their hair out during that final drive when Eli Manning pulls off that magical sack escape and the equally miraculous catch to get the first down that would eventually lead to the winning TD.
Most of all, I get to laugh as I imagine Peter King, who after spending 2 weeks prior getting his "let's make Brady a new deity" article ready for print for the day after the Super Bowl, that suddenly he would have to remove his remora like grip from Tom Brady's jock and instead devote some time to writing how it was all just bad luck...
