@JE, I’m not totally sure, as I don’t live in Chicago. But I just looked a Mullins’ website and it looks like a pretty sweet place to watch the game. And they five locations around Chicago. I’m sure they’ll have the game on, at the very least.

@Chris Thompson, I see your thinking, but I’m not so sure. I think that part of the greatness of Tony Dungy is that it is not all about him. By that I mean, he sets the overall tone and provides leadership, but he delegates authority and builds leaders underneath him.

As long as Peyton Manning is around, the Colts offense will continue to play well. And the Colts already have their head-coach-in-waiting in Jim Caldwell. Plus, I think Dungy has relinquished some control over the past few seasons to let the other leaders on the coaching staff step up and prepare for his ultimate departure. I think the coaching changes could actually be much more seamless in Indy than they would be anywhere else.

There is no way that the Colts would not miss Tony Dungy, but I also would not take it as any kind of lessening of his greatness if the Colts continue to roll again next year. That they very well could is part of what makes him great.

If he does in fact retire this year, I think that the Colts will be a middle of the road team at best next season only because of the coaching changes that will go on.
