Dungy Upset About Promo

Two days after ABC aired a controversial “Monday Night Football” segment featuring Philadelphia Eagle receiver Terrell Owens and actress Nicollette Sheridan, Indianapolis Colt Coach Tony Dungy said he found it racially offensive.

“To me that’s the first thing I thought of as an African American,” Dungy said Wednesday. “I think it’s stereotypical in looking at the players, and on the heels of the Kobe Bryant incident I think it’s very insensitive.
