February 5, 2007 “Two Nice Guys Finish First”Sometimes nice guys finish first. That is what we saw yesterday in the Super Bowl. Two fine Christian men, two excellent coaches, and the first two African-Americans to coach in the Super Bowl. Obviously I am pleased that the Colts won, but even more I am pleased about the witness of Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy. What a wonderful coincidence that this occurred during Black History Month here in the US. During February as we remember and celebrate the history, sacrifice, and leadership of African-Americans, it is fitting to see those two coaches put on a classy show during all of the hype of the Super Bowl. They kept their composure and witnessed to their faith with an integrity which is seldom seen in professional sports. In the midst of the shouting, cursing, cheating, grandstanding, and attention-grabbing antics which too often have become the pattern of sports events in America, how refreshing it was to see two nice guys, two Christian guys, two excellent coaches finish first. May we all learn from their example. from Bishop Michael J. Coyner Indiana Area of the United Methodist
