maybe this is why so many FA's have jumped ship. because of Martz' favoritism. they don't want to put up with this crap. I don't blame them. I wouldn't either. that makes for a terrible working environment.
that is plain bad HC'ing. I can't believe the Rams organization let's this crap continue. shame on them.

preferential treatments to stars of a team by their respective HCs have been going on since the beginning of organized sports. vince lombardi, known to be a displinarian and just plain scary, babied bart starr in comparison to the rest of the packer players, tom landry did the same for his star players, jimmy johnson of dallas past was known for preferential treatments to the big three (aikman,emmitt,irvin), tuna of giants/jets/pats/dallas is renown for looking the other way for his star players, ala LT...
does this make it right? no, by any rationale means when you put it in any social context...but to think professional sports organizations should or will go out of their way to admonish head coaches for loosening the reigns around the star players is... :confused:
