Guest Sores Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Kyle Turley had to be led out of Ram offices by security after threatening Mike Martz's life. Martz told him he was stealing money on IR....swearing and threats followed. Turley will not play another game in a Ram uniform.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DexterDew Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 i think that this is just another example of why Martz is a genius who doesn't have a clue: why would you say that to a player? what good can come from it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turley basically said Martz is lying and that he didn't threaten him. No matter what really may have happened, it's just another example that Martz is an arrogant, clueless, classless individual. The Rams need to can him like yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia something...Fontierre I think (I am certain that isn't the correct spelling though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia something...Fontierre I think (I am certain that isn't the correct spelling though). 634274[/snapback] That said something about the GM "she" sent a letter to every player that Martz was still the coach. I'm thinking that maybe if the GM is a she, that she might have a fondness for Martz, which is why he hasn't been fired yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Score 1 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 When you have to get a letter from the Owner saying you're still in charge, that's a pretty good indication that A} You're really insecure or B} You've lost the Team. or C} Both! I figure it's C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAYER Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Martz is clueless, but Turley is a wild man who has incredable talent. Can't seem to put it altogether though. And burns bridges wherever he goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncosn05 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Turly is a player I like to watch. Do you guys remember when he was playing with the Saints and beat on a Jets player because he yanked Aaron Brook's facemask. One of the best o lineman in the game is my opinion.

O Lineman with a nasty mean attitude! Just what a QB likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msaint Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Didn't Martz also throw Chandler under the bus recently, saying something like the QB position is "killing them"? Geez, Chandler's about 45, had has 67 career concussions, and is trying to fill in for Bulger the best he can, and Martz publicly disses him?! What a pompous, overrated jackass. If someone can clarify this that'd be great, but I remember hearing something like this about a week or so ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Score 1 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Martz also blamed Mort of ESPN for the loss against AZ. How in the world can a beat reporter have anything to do with the fact, that against one of the worst teams at defending the Run, Martz, in his infinite wisdom, decided his "Fast & Furious" game plan was best and virtually abonded the run? This was also the game where he "FORGOT" to get Steven Jackson into the game. But yeah Martz, you're right. It's Mort's fault you lost that game.

rajncajn Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 He didn't actually beat on the Jets player, but he did rip off the offending players helmet and fling it skyward as hard as he could. O Lineman with a nasty mean attitude! Just what a QB likes. 634428[/snapback] He also cost the Saints the game and, if I remember correctly, a shot at the playoffs. He's a great player who brings a lot of fire to a team, but at the same time he'll pull stupid bone-headed childish crap like this when it hurts the most.

Vote Quimby2 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yibbit, Yibbit, Yibbit... I'll echo the statement that Martz is a classless, arrogant punk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordo Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 He also cost the Saints the game and, if I remember correctly, a shot at the playoffs. He's a great player who brings a lot of fire to a team, but at the same time he'll pull stupid bone-headed childish crap like this when it hurts the most. 634710[/snapback] I remember it well. Sunday night game at the Dome, early November. Yes, Turley likely cost the Saints that game. Saints were down 7 with less than 2 minutes left, and had moved inside the Jets 10-yd line. Brooks took off on a scramble and had his helmet twisted as he was tackled around the 5 yd line when Turley goes nuts. Ball back to around the 20, Jets hold from there, ballgame over. Not so sure I'd say it cost us a shot at the playoffs though. That was only the 7th or 8th game of the season at that point. The 4-game losing streak to end the season is what cost us the playoffs that year. But alot of people think, even though he played for the Saints the following season, that this was the beginning of the end for Turley in New Orleans.

Seahawks21 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Having as much respect for the Rams organization and Mike Martz as a devout Seattle Seahawks fan could have, I'd just like to say one thing- "HahaaaAHHH.
