Marty "WE WANT THE WIND" Mornhinweg
| Quote: | In his first season, Mornhinweg led his Lions to a 2-14 record and developed a reputation as a specimen residing somewhere between "imbecile" and "buffoon." With his bulging eyes, sagging cheeks, rather psychotic cheeriness and, most notable, his whiny, nasally pipsqueak voice -- he sounds like Jackie Martling from the Howard Stern Show -- made him into a league-wide joke in record time. It was difficult to imagine how players could possibly taking this ludicrous little man seriously (NFL Films could always be counted on to show a "Come on, guys, let's go get em'!" highlight as his team failed to suppress giggles at the sight).
But what stuck the most about Mornhinweg was his absolute certainty no move he made was ever wrong, no matter how idiotic; he was the only person who believed his own [inappropriate/removed]. You could just see him smirking to himself after he made a decision: "God, I am a great coach!"
Then came November 25, 2002. The Lions, 3-7 on the season, traveled to Champaign, Ill., to play the Chicago Bears. The game, poorly played by both teams, went into overtime.
All season the NFL has been in the midst of a fierce debate about how it structures its overtimes. Opening possession of the overtime period is decided by a coin toss; whoever wins the toss chooses to go on offense first, and, as anyone can tell you, it's tougher to score when you don't have the ball. Since the first team to score in overtime wins, the perception is that a mere coin flip is unfair; a team could conceivably lose a game in overtime without having the opportunity to touch the ball, giving the winner of the coin toss a disproportionate advantage.
The Bears' and Lions' captains took to midfield in a swirling wind. The referee flipped the coin, called "Heads" in the air by the Lions. It landed heads. Lions' ball, right? Cut to Mornhinweg, headset around his neck, girth busting out of his sweater, pupils the size of saucers, finger in the air, thundering to the heavens, Zeus on the mountaintop, releasing his epic screed for all humans to absorb, admire and pass down from generation to generation:
"WE WANT THE WIND!!!!!!!!"
And it was so. Mornhinweg decided that, rather than taking the ball like a normal person, he would put the wind at his team's back, presumably to make it easier to kick field goals. His players looked at him as if he had a rather large penis growing out of his forehead. He just folded his arms and nodded, infinitely pleased with himself, the only guy who gets it.
It goes without saying: The Bears never relinquished the ball, scoring on their first possession to win. And Marty Mornhinweg's place in history was secure: "We Want the Wind," a new shorthand for "I'm About to Do Something Completely Self-Destructive and Brainless, and Not Only Am I Not Aware of It, I'm Absolutely Certain It's the Best Idea I've Ever Had!" |

Aah, at least I can count on the Jets to be the perfect division rival.

Looks like the Jets aren't going to be a threat to anyone for another year!
