Even if you were bad at your job, you can still be an expert because the owner made a mistake. If you hired a plumbing professional, he came over and didn't fix your toilet, but he was so bad he had to be fired. You can listen to a home improvement show the next day or week, and the host will bring on an idiot plumbing expert.
Is it possible that you would listen to it again? Bob Vila's nephew told you to adhere to the wall with a hot glue gun. When I read a story about Mike Martz ripping a couple of people for not breaking records during a monsoon, my reaction was joy.
In no other area of life would we ever care about a failure in another person's job performance, and I get so much joy from the outrage over the podcaster pulling the string behind Martz. Anyone asking the former St. Louis Rams head coach for his take has to know what they are getting.
If you want to kill your ears, this is the first thing you need to do.
If you don't want to listen, the cliff notes version says Fields was completely awful, and he's never seen such a bad performance from a starter. Lance isn't a particularly good runner but he is a hell of a player.
I watched the entire Bears 49ers game, and there is no way to know how good either of those quarterbacks are because they played in a rainstorm. There was a large amount of rain before the game and it rained sideways during the game.
At one point in the second half, the camera was so wet that Fox made the field lines black to make it look like a football game.
Lance ran for 54 yards on 13 carries after that start. He didn't play up to the hype. He lost his starting running back and his star tight end. The weather and running situation won't make a quarterback power the go-to offense every week.
The success of the two quarterbacks was due to the buckets of rain that fell in the first games of the season. Fields muscled a ball to St. Brown for six on another occasion, after turning a broken play into a touchdown.
Martz described the Bears as a team without hope, which is patently false if you watched Fields pull a win out of the storm cloud they played under. Make Martz a weekly segment and let him talk.
There are two Martz stories that will leave you with the knowledge of how much energy you should spend on this man.
The first comes via Deadspin editor and Chicagoan Julie DiCaro, and really isn't a story as much as it is a hot mic caught Jay telling Martz to go fuck himself during a Sunday night game against Minnesota.
The most repugnant humans could make Smokin' Jay Cutler feel good. If you wonder who could turn Martz into a figure worthy of pity, look no further than Stan Kroenke.
If you don't remember, Martz was hospitalized during the last part of his tenure in St. Louis, and as soon as he was medically cleared to coach, he was fired. I don't know how you feel about a coach losing his job due to injury, but I think it was savage.
I don't know where I was. Don't fret about Martz. He should take everything he says with a grain of incompetence that makes up his genes.
