The Sage Steele Show - Tony Dungy on His NBC Exit, Super Bowl Heartbreak & Standing Firm in His Faith | Sage Steele Show
Tony Dungy joins Sage Steele for 100 minutes, nearly three decades after she first covered his Buccaneers as a young reporter in Tampa. He explains what happened at the end of his 17 years at NBC Sports, why he never asked permission before speaking at the March for Life, and what the network told him afterward. He also says plainly what he does and does not know about why the run ended. Along the way he tells the stories that made him one of the most respected coaches in NFL history. The sign that hung in his locker room for 13 years. The offer he made every new player, to trade anyone who needed to be screamed at, and the fact that in 13 years nobody took it. What Chuck Noll and Dan Rooney told him as a 21-year-old rookie in Pittsburgh that became his entire coaching philosophy. Warrick Dunn winning Rookie of the Year while raising three teenage siblings. Peyton Manning checking the 14-day forecast before the Super Bowl. And what Warren Sapp did in the locker room the first game after Dungy was fired. Plus: why he was cut from the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting committee, what he will and will not say about the Bill Belichick vote, All Pro Dad after almost 30 years, twelve children with nine adopted, and why he will not run for office. Tony Dungy, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Indianapolis Colts, and a legacy built on how you do things. The Sage Steele Show. New episodes every week.
