Fantasy Football

The Facts:
Martz has been declared medically unable to coach for the remainder of the 2005 season. Martz told the Rams today that after further examination with treating physician Dr. Victoria Fraser, the bacterial infection of his heart valve will prevent him from performing his duties for the rest of the season. Reported by StLoiusRams.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Joe Vitt will continue as interim head coach and coordinator Steve Fairchild will continue to call plays in Martz's absence. ... Interesting that this announcement comes a day after president of football operations Jay Zygmunt wouldn't let a team official relay a play Martz phoned in from home to Fairchild in the coaches box. ... Whatever the case, we'll have more on this as further details are released.
