Bob Raissman agrees with my point about NY Times' shrill pitch

Race and gender are the only issues the NY Times cares about. On. Feb. 7, I posted that they even ignored Tony Dungy's own remarks about his religious faith being the most important part of his victory. Today, the NY Daily News' Bob Raissman acknowledges Dungy's words, awarding him "Dude of the Week." Bob notes Dungy's faith, not just his race.

'DUDE OF THE WEEK:

Tony Dungy

For finally coaching his team to a Super Bowl win. No need to recount Dungy's trials and tribulations, both personal and professional. Not only did he persevere, the Colts coach set an example along the way.

• This was not just about him being the first black coach to win a Super Bowl. He proved faith, combined with positive thinking, can get you to where you want to go. It can also get you through the worst of times. A valuable lesson.'
