Marty was as likable as any coach around.

But he didn't deserve a SB.
He is the reasin he never got one.

There can be no doubt. Marty was the greatest "regular season" coach of all time.

I don't think anyone missed it.
Amazing that Rick Gosselin wrote for it.

That Redskins stuff is hilarious. Some people hold up Snyder as this great owner but all the little ways he cuts corners and pushes the envelope to make an extra buck are hilarious. If he was the Chiefs owner for the last 15 years this place would've chewed him into pieces.

After Brian Schotty and some gal named Gemmi (who later became his wife) started dating, they went on a "road trip" with some assistant coaches and two other girls from the business side of the operation to go see Marty and Pat in Charlotte.

People got wind of it and everyone freaked out about "ethics" and "violations" and blablabla. Snyder made everyone sign a new code of ethics...and coaches couldn't "fraternize" with people from the business side...oh but they "grandfathered" in Brian and his future wife since they had been dating for awhile.

The only note on Lin Elliot is that no one was talking to him after the game and he got out of there as fast as possible.

Sadly, you're probably right. Marty's by all accounts a good guy and all, but it's idiotic that so many Charger fans worship him so much when he's probably only the fourth-best coach in team history, behind Coryell, Gillman, and Ross.

20. After the 1998 MNF meltdown, Carl told the locker room the team had disgraced themselves and the entire city. Lamar Hunt stood nearby with his hands over his face..
As the years pass I find myself slowly becoming a Carl Peterson mark. I'm losing my ****ing mind.

In retrospect he was a master marketer and uh, financial success strategist.

If he had been 10 percent better as a talent evaluator he's probably got a SB ring.

And he was a dick, but man he was our dick.

I actually remember that because I read both papers everyday. I was the Sports Editor of the Junior High newspaper (grade 7-9) and sports writing was a passion. I had a newspaper route just so I could have a subscription to Sports illustrated and read Dr. Z. when I was eleven.

I clearly remember reading the newspaper the day after the NFL draft because in those days, the only player announced on local TV was the first round choice.

Ah, the 70's.

ends badly

9. Carl and Marty had their first interview together getting lost driving around Kansas City. They almost ran out of gas.


A lot of Marty's drives in Kansas City ran out of gas
