What was the title of the Ram's highlight video?

"Mike Martz's fantasy football ride to the 31st draft choice"

Ooo... I think Steelers fans should know better than to joke about making videos!

Yup, that's definitely not funny.

If you say so. All I know is the Rams are still regarded as the best team in the league. That's enough for me.

That's nice to hang your hat on now, but in five years Mike Martz will just be another Bud Grant and Marv Levy... no one ever talks about how good the Colts were, it's all about Joe Namath....

Yup, I guess Martz will have to settle for that HOF induction. Chin the Choker can go see the bust for $12.

This is one of the most idiotic things that you've written.... Martz has coached for two years and underachieved with each team.... Cowher has coached for 10 years and is regarded around the league and by his peers as one of the top coaches in the league, whether you or I disagree with it.... Cowher is one SB victory away from being a HOF lock (and he'll get that victory within the next three years).... Martz will fade into the sunset once the Warner/Faulk is over....

Don't get mad at me! You're the one who said Martz will go down in history like immortalized Hall of Fame inductees Bud Grant and Marv Levy.

Personally the way our conversation had been going I was surprised at the compliment.

Look, if it makes you feel better, it should be awhile before Martz is done terrorizing the league and get inducted. Chinny the Choker should be eligible for the senior discount around that time.

Well, I don't think he'll be immortalized in the HOF, but he will be remembered as the guy that couldn't take the Rams over the top...

Seriously, do you think that Martz is a good head coach? And I'm not talking about the "offensive coordinator" role of his job, I'm talking about gameday strategies and decisions....
