Joe Henderson of the TAMPA TRIBUNE has a piece today recounting Tony Dungy’s recent visit to Jefferson High School in Tampa - where he met with students and gave a motivational speech.

Henderson first though had the latest on Dungy’s book, “Quiet Strength”, which is now a bonafide bestseller: “The publisher originally figured “Quiet Strength” would sell around 30,000 copies when it was released last July. Within three weeks, though, it was No. 1 on The New York Times bestseller list. Sales have topped 900,000 and co-author Nathan Whitaker said there might be a sequel on the way.”

After shaking hands and signing autographs, Dungy then spoke to the student body. While taking questions, someone brought up the Patriots “cheating scandal” to the Colts Coach. That’s when the fun started. Read more…

So, how’s the Roger Clemens conundrum affecting Andy Pettitte’s play?

So far,not too badly.

The NEW YORK TIMES reports the Yankees hurler looked pretty good in his spring training debut, holding the Phillies to a walk & a single in two innings of work during Sunday’s 7-7 tie.

Wait, a 7-7 tie? Was Bud Selig in the crowd?

But after such an eventful offseason - with the Mitchell Report and ratting out the Rocket and getting his dad to hunt down some HGH - Andy must have looked for some inspiration to help through the tough times.

And he did. Read more…

Move over, Will Leitch. Take a back seat, Jose Canseco. Tony Dungy is ready to light up the literary world again.

The INDIANAPOLIS STAR reports that the Colts coach is coming out with a sequel to his New York Times bestseller “Quiet Strength” - the 96-page paperback “Quiet Strength: Men’s Bible Study.”

According to the news release, the follow-up is “aimed specifically at men, including those who may not otherwise be interested in spiritual matters.” Sorry, ladies.

The book supposedly challenges its male readers to find the answers to these six questions:

Just posted out of Indy: “Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy will return to the team for a seventh season, sources aware of his decision told 6News on condition of anonymity Monday afternoon.

“Dungy is scheduled to announce his decision at a 4:30 p.m. news conference. 6News and TheIndyChannel.com plan to carry it live,Dungy met with team management at the Colts complex for several hours. He said last week that Monday was the day he would announce whether he would retire or stay for the final year of his contract.”

UPDATE: NFL Network’s Adam Schefter confirms the notion.

UPDATE #2: Dungy officially confirms.

Question: Has anyone noticed that Dungy’s heir apparent, Jim Caldwell, was a complete flop as head coach of Wake Forest?

Tony Dungy denies that he’s resigning from the Colts - for the time being.

WRTV gets the rebuttal from the Indianapolis coach about rumors of his retirement. PRO FOOTBALL TALK earlier reported that the Colts coach would be stepping down, and assistant Jim Caldwell would come in as his replacement.

However, Dungy said on Wednesday that the report was “false”, and hasn’t decided on his future in Indy just yet. Tony, who still has one year remaining on his contract, reiterated that he would make an announcement next week.
