WHEN COMES SUCH ANOTHER?

Even though the St. Louis Rams are undefeated for the year, I'm afraid I don't see another Super Bowl in the wings. Certainly I'm premature about this but from the various sources I read, it seems there are internal problems galore. Those are more difficult to straighten out than a poor product on the field or even a couple of bad drafts.

It appears that the Mike Martz era ends today. And that's too bad. Don't get me wrong: it's time for him to leave. I used to be a staunch supporter of him. Until the Carolina game when he went for the tie instead of the win. As I limped out of the ED, I told Scott that I was done with Martz. But that doesn't mean he isn't a great talent. Those offenses of his for the glory years were unbelievable. Will he be able to resurrect them for a different organization? Perhaps, however, like anything highly successful and innovative, it will be copied. But his template was the best. Even superior to the West Coast offense started by another St. Louis coach, Don Coryell.

So in a good, if not great close to Sunday Night Football on espn, the Rams showed some moxie and ended a forgettable season on a high note last night. Oh how I would have loved to hear just once more from pat summerall,"DDDDDDDDallas."

But what I'll miss more is the Mike Martz era.
