A colossal unforced error on the Rams part.
Yeah, ED is a bit of a diva. But he's a diva that's also beloved by the Ram fan base AND he has a big microphone. Plus immediate access to TV outlets, not to mention today's social media.
Such a person needed to be handled with kid gloves.
Fisher made the call, but maybe it was a FO supported decision to make that call. I dunno. What I DO know is that it was unbelievably stupid. Especially considering the disappointing season this year.
No way that the Rams are come out winning this PR fiasco, now.
Best they get in front of it by apologizing to ED and the fans. I mean, some world class groveling.
It may even require that Fisher be the sacrificial lamb and be terminated 5 games sooner than already planned.
What a mess!
From league laughingstock to soap opera in just two days. Quite an accomplishment.
Yes, Rams bungled it.
But (a) Dickerson has always been a jerk
(b) says he's about winning but it was about $$ when he played
(c) he has every right to say what he wants about Rams
(d) Rams have every right to deny him favors
(e) going public makes him look bad
I agree with every single one of your points there, B&G.
But I was speaking in terms of the unforced error resulting in this PR mess for the Rams.
Not what is "right" or "wrong".
Very ham handed on the Rams part. So unDemoff like. Which makes me tend to believe that Fisher made the call on his own.
