Dickerson: Rams banned me

Absorbing boos and pleas for No. 1 pick Jared Goff throughout the season, the Rams at this point should be able to withstand a heavy dose of criticism.

Apparently not when it comes to Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson’s blunt evaluations of the 2016 version of the team he first called home, where he racked up 7,245 of his NFLbest 13,259 rushing yards.

Dickerson announced during his radio show on Monday that a Rams official told him he was no longer welcome on the team’s sidelines because his scathing remarks made the players “uncomfortable.”

“Someone with the Rams told me I’m not wanted on sidelines at games,” Dickerson said on AM 570 LA Sports, “that what I’ve said makes the players uncomfortable.”

Rams Executive VP Kevin Demoff refuted Dickerson’s claims Monday afternoon.

“All Rams alumni, and especially Eric Dickerson,” he tweeted, “are always welcome at our games and practices.”

Dickerson, 56, has made his feelings on the Rams’ uninspired 4-7 season loud and clear. After the Rams held on to defeat the Jets, 9-6, on Nov. 13 in a battle of offensively challenged teams, Dickerson shamed coach Jeff Fisher’s side on his radio show for being practically unwatchable, despite the outcome.

“It’s a win,” he said. “But as a Rams’ fan, it’s hard for me to watch. They are so boring.”

Even if the Rams offered him season tickets for $15,000, he said, he would laugh it off.

“What’s the punchline?” he joked on the show.

Unlike other hopeful Rams fans, Dickerson has expressed little faith in the quarterback anointed as Los Angeles’ savior on draft day, saying on an NFL radio show that Goff looked “scared” and “unsure of some of his reads” during the preseason.
