If it were Jack Youngblood or Jackie Slater. Just don't get the hysteria over Dickerson.
It never WOULD BE Youngblood or Slater.
For one thing if those guys were loudly trashing the coach that way, regularly, in that kind of over the line way, neither of those 2 would ASK for a sideline pass.
Have your cake? Or eat it too? It's one or the other.
Youngblood is never around to be quoted. He doesn't live in LA. Slater is on with Liz Habib all the time and he's been critical of the team. No he personally has not called out Fisher. I suppose if Habib asked him if Fisher should be fired then Jackie would give us his honest opinion.
You have not heard Youngblood or Slater come out and say Dickerson is wrong or they don't support Eric either, have you?
The other thing is, Dickerson as a HOF player has a lifetime pass to any game he wants. He was testing the Rams to see if it was true they were pissed at him and it seems they were. But, you know what? Gee, sorry Kevin and Jeff but if you don't win and you haven't ever won then you get criticized.
BTW Youngblood is a HOF player too. He has a life time pass to any game he wants as well.

I don't think that's much of a defense. WE KNOW Dickerson's mouth is bigger and louder and his character is different.
And, I would appreciate all the people who are pretending this is some kind of unique thing naming me all the openly loud, line-crossing former players turned basher level critics of their former teams who expect and get sideline passes.
My bet is people won't be able to name any examples.
..
He's been openly critical of the Lakers over the years and the Lakers have never shut him out.

Notice that I didn't say "openly critical." In fact that was very deliberate. That's to get rid of the silly idea that those of us who have issues with Dickerson just don't like criticism. To me that's just another typical message board straw man.
Would you describe Johnson as an openly loud, line-crossing former basher level critic? That is, who makes it personal, who crosses lines from criticism to just being negative, and so on.
If Johnson was like that put up some quotes.
Either way I asked for exampleS plural and you shifted sports and gave me one guy, who I doubt talked like Dickerson, ie. to the point where it's just offensive.
