The man without emotion

There have been all these opinions in the press this week about how wonderful it would be if Tony Dungy wins and gets the proverbial monkey off his back...the general consensus is that it couldn't happen to a better man...one of the class acts of the nfl....a true gentleman....and apparently, when i watch him at least, not an emotional bone in his body.
What is this creature? Has he no passion? I have seen him interviewed many times and i don't know....sure he might be reasonably unoffensive but so is bryant gumbal....and i don't want him to lead me either..
When i watched him over the years in press conferences it was strange because, if you didn't know the score of the game, or watch any of the highlights, you would never know who won the game by the way he acted....like a long slow monotone lecture class....it could put you right to sleep..
It is true that he did smile after the afc championship win....wowie...i dont know about you but i like my football coaches with a little fire in his britches...could you imagine the quiet recommendation he might give to you after a mistake you make in a game...or maybe he'll just avoid it all together and give you an impassive look....ooh man hey tony are you upset that your team just lost the super bowl? Probably not or maybe he is....hmm i just cant tell.

He could use a touch of the Bill Cowher school of emotional coaching..."Is he pissed off, or happy? Is that spittle coming out of his mouth in irate rage, or elation?"
