I am definitely down for a copy of this book...I hadn't even heard of it, but now I will definitely head right out to buy it.

I think Marty was definitely a super-class man. He had flaws just like any human being does, but he was a first rate coach and motivator.

Not just Elway,he threw a td pass first that was called back because the receiver had stepped out of bounds,then there was a penalty for as i recall illegal formation and then he finally ran in it.

I was personally at that game sitting with 200 other KC fans and after Elway ran that go ahead td in the Bronco fans were ruthless but we all know who got the last laugh.

He's a great coach and he's awfully nice in person. I met him one at Seau's restaurant (he was leaving as I was arriving). I was probably 18. He stopped and had a nice little conversation with me.

Great guy. Wish we never got rid of him.

Id have to go Bobby Ross over Marty, for Charger fans anyway.

Marty had his warts of course when it came to being conservative on the coaching front but he was by far my most favorite Chiefs coach. I wasn't alive for Stram. Championships or not, Marty made Kansas City Chiefs football something special. Just the environment was second to none.

We need more excerpts from Marty's book.

It was a very quick read. I got the kindle version for my iPad for $7.68 Probably about what it's worth. I couldn't believe this thing went through a publisher at least 20 typographical errors in it.

That being said, even the hardcore Chiefs fan will learn some stuff on Marty and the Chiefs but not a lot. The author fast forwards through several segments in time with a paragraph or two when that's when you wish he would have spent a whole chapter.

Is there a chapter dedicated to evaluating skank waitresses and where are the best ones? Shoneys? Waffle House?

Damn I got goosebumps watching that.

Man, joe was only good because he had a good run game and a defense. See all those short check down passes.

...

you DO realize that the editing process and/or publishing process for eBooks is completely different than it is for print books, yes? they catch a LOT fewer errors. you can't blame that on the print publisher, that's shoddy transcription on the company that did the eBook (I know this as I've rarely come across an eBook that didn't have a lot of typos and/or other errors)

Sid Gillman or Don Coryell would be the best all time SD Coach.
Bobby Ross isn't even in the conversation.

Oh man, here's a cool story.

Everyone knows about Marty's midnight rule. You move on to the next game by midnight following the last one.

Well, his wife invented it.

Brian was sitting in the car whining about HS game that he had lost and Pat got tired of it and told him he was going to shut up about it by midnight, or else.

Then she told Marty and he was like "Hey, this is cool, I'll use this with my professional football team called the Chiefs."

So holy shit man.

I am about to post some more but here is a good one:

Marty went to see Derrick Thomas at the hospital several times when he was trying to recover. He would go with him to therapy every time. On the drive home he would break down crying every time.

Watching Marty at DT's HOF induction was moving. He clearly loved the kid.
