No.

 

Quote:To be clear, I believe teams are entitled to make their own judgments on these matters, consistent with the law, and govern themselves accordingly.

 

I just did not buy Dungy's stated rationale, given his past embrace of distracting players.

 

Way I see it, Dungy may not believe Sam's worth the media attention. I mean, taking on those things is a big enough risk in and of itself, but for a 7th round pick? I can see that as a possible explanation, but I'm not going to rule out his religion playing a part in him not wanting Sam.

 

Either way, I don't think he should have to apologize as if he did something wrong.
