Fisher’s mother dislikes profanity

Rams coach speaks forcefully on TV show, earns a reprimand.

Curses! Foiled by “Hard Knocks” again.

Rams coach Jeff Fisher used some salty language on a recent episode of HBO’s NFL reality show, earning him an admonishing phone call.

“I got one of these yesterday: ‘Jeffrey! This is from Mom,’ ” Fisher told ESPN. “So I said, ‘Sorry, Mom. That’s our world. I’ll try to do better.’

“When I hear ‘Jeffrey!’ it’s uh-oh — something went wrong.”

Initial response

Bills defensive end IK Enemkpali — the guy who punched ex-Jets teammate Geno Smith a year ago, breaking his jaw — is out for the season after tearing his ACL during Buffalo’s first exhibition game.

But no, IK isn’t short for Instant Karma.

■ The Bills signed former Falcon Kroy Biermann to a oneyear contract. The eighth-year linebacker can also play defensive end; two areas where the Bills are thin.

Brother knows best

What, you don’t think Ravens coach John Harbaugh is just as competitive as his brother Jim?

When an ESPN reporter pointed out that his Ravens went 2-0 against Jim’s 49ers, John corrected: “I’m 3-0.” To wit:

■ Ravens 16, 49ers 6 (2011 regular season);

■ Ravens 34, 49ers 31 (Super Bowl XLVII); and

■ Ravens 16, 49ers 6 (in — drumroll, please — a 2014 preseason game).

So long, Long

The Rams released receiver Deon Long after he was caught with a woman in his training-camp room after curfew. The 2016 Rams, obviously, are not to be confused with the Kenny Stabler-era Raiders.

Mitchell at practice

The Patriots did get some welcome news last week on the injury front as former Georgia standout Malcolm Mitchell returned to practice after sustaining a left elbow injury in a preseason game.

The rookie receiver was in full pads and wore a brace on the elbow.

But he didn’t participate in any live drills, and instead did some light conditioning on a secondary field alongside other inactive Patriots, including Danny Amendola and Rob Ninkovich.

Let’s talk Turkey

A 65-year-old Turkish man needed medical intervention to remove 88 kidney stones, according to the Central European News. “What pain?” the man reportedly said. “I’m also a Browns fan.”

Flag on the play

Foxborough police chief Ed O’Leary says his officers plan to crack down on scofflaws using parking spaces for the disabled at Patriots games this season. And the fine doubles, it goes without saying, if the tires are underinflated.

Quote mark

Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle, when 49ers GM Trent Baalke replied “I don’t live in a cave” when asked if he is on the hot seat this season: “Sure, Trent. That’s what Bruce Wayne tried to tell us.”

Rams coach Jeff Fisher does not mince words when he speaks on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.”
