...hyperentrepreneurial Branson, 56, has an unlimited appetite for outlandish promotional stunts, but launching the space-tourism industry with him on board the first Virgin Galactic flight would be tough to top.

Certainly, both Dungy and Smith deserve recognition, not simply for being black, but for having the character to serve as role models for the black community and fathers and coaches everywhere. Overzealous coaches show us who not to be: conformists to negative stereotypes, deadbeat dads, and angry, cold Bill Belichick-esque football dictators...
