Next game--Herm Edwards falls after choking the lead away. Next game--Cowher falls--can't get players mentally ready for the challenge of facing defending champs. All of these things ala Marty. They all lost (even Marty himself, duh) in every way that Marty has lost playoff games. I found it very odd and kind of voodoo-ish. They all fell, in every way that Marty has--including the teacher himself. It was histerical. But maddening at the same time because I've been through that, we've all been through that.

excellent post...watching Marty succumb to his own weaknesses again was almost sad...but mostly funny...
