Lest ye be judged...

"I'm disappointed with all the profanity. I think Rex can make his points without all that."
Asked if he would hire a coach who talks the way Ryan does - "I would not. I personally don't want my players to be around that. I don't want to be around that. . . . It's hard for me to be around that, and if I were in charge, no, I wouldn't hire someone like that. Now, I've been around 'F' bombs, so it's not like it's new. I just don't think that has to be part of your every-minute, everyday vocabulary to get your point across."
On the possibility of Goodell getting involved -"I would hope that he does. I don't know that he will or not but I hope that he does because I just don't think the league needs that. I don't think our young people need to hear that that's what's done to be successful. Because it doesn't have to be that way."

Tony Dungy was completely off-base in putting Rex Ryan on blast. He shouldn't have broadcast how he felt about Ryan's cursing to the world. If he was truly offended, he could have just gone to Roger Goodell's office and told him to monitor the bad language coming from "Hard Knocks." The cursing is something he should take a look at as it may alienate some judgmental fans, like Dungy.

Goodell probably has more important issues to deal with, such as arrests, drug use, etc. The cursing becomes an issue when the NFL starts to look bad, but currently the legal issues compounded with the possible lockout leaves Goodell little room to concern him with cursing.

In addition to that, what can Goodell do, but fine people for cursing? That would be obnoxious, annoying and unnecessary. "Hard Knocks" is meant to display the real training camp of an NFL team. Put a group of men together, no, put a group of people together of any profession, even ministers and priest, you will find some who curse. Sure the NFL is a business, but they're still playing a game, a sport that has man characters, many men who need Orbitz to clean up their dirty mouths.

Sure, in a perfect world, Dungy is right, the NFL should clean up the language, mostly so children can watch "Hard Knocks," and parents can leave the corrupting to the internet. This was none of Dungy's business though. He has led a great career, both on and off the field; leading the Colts to a Super Bowl win, and mentoring a troubled Michael Vick upon being released from prison. Rex Ryan took the high road in defending himself as a good person, and it will be interesting to see if Dungy takes up Ryan's offer to visit the Jets training camp. Maybe just being there will cause Dungy to drop an F-bomb or two.
