Words to dine on

Full Story Here: It's difficult to have a formal conversation with Marty Schottenheimer. The Chargers coach won't always tell you what you need – or want – to know. He often says just enough for you to get by. He's a pro who knows the drill.

He doesn't wear a white tie and tails or pretend to be something he's not, a stubborn coach who has seen hundreds of Sundays. He's about as pliable as titanium.

And I don't know that he should be. He has won 174 NFL games, the 174th coming Sunday against Denver. When given a chance, he has a knack of getting it done. Not many coaches do, or have.
