We’ve never understood the love affair the media and public has with Colts’ coach Tony Dungy. He’s a good coach, but not great. Won a Superbowl in 2006, choked in the playoffs nearly every other time, compiled great defenses in Minnesota and Tampa Bay but nothing more than above average ones in Indianapolis, and despite his nice-guy image, supported a fringe group that took an extreme stance on gay marriage.

But this one seems to be a story where everyone missed the punch line.

A few weeks back Dungy forgot his credit card at the pump of an Indianapolis gas station. Customer finds it, calls the Colts, credit card is quickly returned. Which is no problem - we all do stupid things.

But then we read this in The Indianapolis Star: Why did Dungy forget his card?

“Because I was on the phone, I couldn’t get it back in my wallet,” Dungy said. “I continued to talk, pumped the gas and left.”

Perhaps the coach missed the big signs saying “Don’t use cell phones while pumping gas”. Tony, they’re pretty clear. Here’s another article if you need the re-education.

Anyhow, dude who recovered the card got a thank-you call from Tony Dungy … while Dungy was at a 7/11. Kidding … we think.
