Best Friends

NFL team, the Indianopolis Colts, head coach Tony Dungy and NBA team, Detroit Pistons, head coach Flip Saunders are best friends, every since sharing a dorm room while in college at Minneapolis. Not only are they friends but they are friends with the same goal,their team being #1. Last year, both the Colts and Pistons were the biggest team in their league until it came down to the end. The Colts coach, Tony Dungy had a son who committed suicide during last season which may had something to do with why his team not making it all the way. Pistons coach, Flip Saunders team also didn't make it all the way, as many say, because of egos.(But who really know the truth.) Saunders thinks that having a disappointed ending is a good thing. "Sometimes teams go through adversity and it helps. Look at the Indianopolis Colts. They're prime example. People were writing them off four weeks ago and now they're in the Super Bowl.", says coach Flip Saunders." We've had a lot of bad losses this year already, a lot of bad, bad losses, We can't get 'em back... But I just want to be playing our best ball when we get into April and be healthy." Detroit Pistons point guard, Lindsey Hunter says, " You want to win every game you can, but at the same time you want to build up to the point where you're playing your best basketball come playoff time.(www.nba.com/pistons) This year both Flip Saunders and Tony Dungy want their team to be the last one standing.
