Every Friday, Shutdown Corner will choose a personality from the NFL, and based on their various personality traits, attempt to guess their alcoholic beverage of choice. It has absolutely no basis in fact.

Today: Former Rams head coach and current 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Martz.

It's hard to picture Mike Martz sitting around and drinking with guys like Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden, and Jeff Fisher, isn't it? 

It's easier to see him sitting in the back of the bar, sneering over at the guys doing boilermakers, and thinking to himself, "Look at those knuckle-dragging clods. They're so drunk they can't see, while I'm designing a play that will destroy their simple-minded Cover 2 defenses. Muahahahaha."

So what does Martz order? 

Well, the man believes that the offense he designed is more evolved and sophisticated than the common smashmouth offenses that populate the NFL. I think he thinks of himself in the same way, too, when compared to other coaches: More sophisticated and evolved. I think we can rule out any kind of beer. It's too common.

Liquor? Come on, look at Martz. That guy tried Jack Daniels one time in high school, spit it out in disgust, and them immediately decided that he didn't need alcohol to have a good time. Later, his dad tried to get him to do a shot on his 18th birthday, too, telling young Mike that liquor would "put hair on his chest." But Martz cried, told his father that he didn't need a hairy chest, and went down to his room to study film.

It wasn't until later that he discovered the white wine spritzer. He took his wife-to-be out to dinner, she ordered one, and not wanting to look like a non-drinking nancy, he ordered the same thing, having no idea that ordering a white wine spritzer was far more effeminate than not drinking at all.

He continues drinking them today, despite his wife's opinion of him lowering every time he does.

Bartender, Mike Martz will have a white wine spritzer.
