Black NFL head coaches

I did not watch yesterday's NFL football AFC championship game because I figured that the N.E. Patriots would find a way to beat the Indianapolis Colts, and a quick check of the score at halftime (21-6) seemed to confirm my prediction. Luckily I was wrong, and the Colts will head off to the Super Bowl to face the Chicago Bears! The best part, though, is that for the first time two African-American head coaches will face each other (Tony Dungy for the Colts, Lovie Smith for Da Bears), so history will be made. I'll be pulling slightly for the Colts, so afterwards Colts QB Peyton Manning can come out with some new Mastercard commerials....

This really pleases me immensely. I like Tony Dungy a lot and have been so impressed with Lovie Smith. I'm actually rooting for the Bears because my SIL is from Chicago. And this is coming from a die-hard Packers fan! Oh, the sacrifices we make.
