INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts coach Tony Dungy has been to Super Bowls in Miami before, and he knows about the temptations. So the Colts, who will arrive Monday, will have a curfew beginning Tuesday.

"We stressed it's a business trip, we want to enjoy families and the moment, and not totally disassociate ourselves from the hype and the hoopla, but it is a business trip," Dungy said before putting the Colts through their first Super Bowl practice. "We're going down there to win the ball game."

    It would be interesting to get a room at the hotel where the teams are staying during the week preceeding the Superbowl and just hang out in the lobby to observe the thousands of people [fans, reporters, groupies, toadies, homies, extended family, etc.] that show up to take part in the spectacle.

    I worked at the hotel the Dallas Cowboys stayed at in Atlanta years ago during the Super Bowl. It was total chaos all the time.....way too many people all over the place. The basic story was that the players were wild all week, up until a few days before the game when their wives and kids arrived. They all had secret names in the hotel computer.........booked in as Fred Flintstone or Gomer Pyle.....stuff like that for security reasons. It was a fun week, but I wasn't disappointed to see them go. The restaurant had a big shipment of buffalo meat sent in for Buffalo Burgers, Buffalo Ravioli.....stuff like that since they were playing the Bills.

    I think Miami is too tempting for these guys......someone is going to mess up!

    I wouldn't be surprised. A curfew is not enough, an outright ban on going to bars and nightclubs should
    be part of the restrictions placed on the players. Someone at a bar is going to be razzing the players
    saying they are wimps or something like that, words turn into fists and then a situation is out of control.

    He plans on checking out career opportunities in Miami when he retires from football. He can't decide between "mooovers" or
    "cut that meat". image
