My condolensces to the Dungy family!

I'm a Bucs fan going back to Dungy's time there and I remember this kid running around that looked like him. So sad. I wonder what happened.

my god.

Can't speak about his son, but Dungy is a class act. Wish the Vikes had him for their head coach (used to be their DC at one time). Feel really bad for him.

I wish he was our head coach instead of the neanderthal we have now.

Didn't Tony Dungy also play for the Gophers?

and a defensive back for the Steelers before going into coaching. Very sad - Tony Dungy is a class act and a real gentleman. No family should have to deal with the sudden death of a child during this season.

:cry:

I am a huge Tony Dungy fan.

please keep us updated

My prayers and postive thoughts to the family. I wish no parent would ever have to experience the death of a child.

Screwed over because of his race, he plugged away in a quiet manner to reach the point he is at today. Have always admired Mr. Dungy. Sorry to hear of his loss. It is never good when a child precedes a parent in death.

Mr. Dungy is a class act, and I am so sorry to hear this. Somehow this sort of thing just seems so much sadder at Christmas time.

i send out my condolences to him and his family.

James Dungy, the 18-year-old son of Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy, was found dead at 1:30 a.m. ET Thursday in his apartment in Lutz, Fla., a suburb of Tampa, Debbie Carter, a spokesperson for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, confirmed Thursday.

In a news release on its Web site, the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office said it "responded to the Campus Lodge Apartments this morning at approximately 1:32 a.m. The girlfriend of James Dungy had returned to the apartment and discovered Dungy."

Tony Dungy has left the Colts and is in Tampa, ESPN has learned.
