Super Bowl Evangelism

Tony Dungy will, once again, be the keynote speaker for the annual Super Bowl Breakfast this Saturday.


The breakfast is an NFL-sanctioned event held during Super Bowl week where Christian players and and coaches share their testimonies and talk about their faith. It's sponsored by Athletes in Action, the sports outreach ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ.


The Bart Starr Award, given to the NFL player who best exemplifies character and leadership, will also handed out out at the breakfast. The finalists, voted on by their peers, are Peyton Manning (yes, he might win another award), Warrick Dunn and John Lynch.


Last year's breakfast was the first time Dungy spoke publicly about his son's death after the funeral. He said at the time that while he always enjoyed coming, he had a dream to come not just as an invited speaker but as the coach of one of the Super Bowl teams.

So he might be a little bit happy tomorrow morning.

You can catch the event on the Sky Angel network, available to satellite dish owners, on Sunday morning from 10-11:30 ET. For those not planning on skipping church, they're also re-broadcasting before and after the game, at 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET.
