Tony Dungy, who became the first African-American head coach to win a Super Bowl, and Eagles coach Andy Reid have had their own personal battles through the years that are far more important than any they've faced on the field. Dungy's son, James, took his own life in 2005 at age 18. Reid's sons, Garrett and Britt, have battled legal and drug problems for a few years now. Perhaps that unfortunate bond is what helped land embattled quarterback Michael Vick on the Eagles roster. "Coach Dungy is somebody, who there's only a handful of people in the NFL that I just completely respect their integrity, their honesty, and their commitment to doing the right thing in the community," Lurie said. "Tony has spent so much time in prisons, so much time dealing with people that, for whatever reason, did horrendous things. He was absolutely 100 percent sure that there was an opportunity here if Michael could be in the right situation to do societal good." Source: Philadelphia Daily News
