Fisher was already gone, but now it looks like ED is going to follow him.
I'm all for him "telling it like it is" and expressing his displeasure, but when you are employed by the Rams and are supposed to be an ambassador for the team in coming back to LA and help grow the fan base and bring a positivity and energize a fan base maybe you should tone it down, maybe a notch or two.
He said it himself "he expected it" so that tells me right there he had some clue the Rams weren't happy with his act, yet kept it up and when someone finally told him what He was "expecting" he runs to the radio station and ESPN to further embarrass a team??? This team doesn't need any help with that if you haven't noticed ....
If I'm the owner or CEO I'd be pretty bummed out by Eric's act, he was supposed to help build the brand, not tear it down.... You get this guy back in the limelight and he uses it to @#$%& on you.
I don't expect either of them on the Rams sideline next year....really sucks, cuz Eric is by far one of my favorites and was a great Rambassador while it lasted.
Magic Johnson has been very critical of the Lakers and you don't see the Lakers dumping on him. Why? Because they know that even more so then Kobe Magic is and always will be the face of the Lakers in LA.
Eric Dickerson, more so then any other former LA Ram has embraced the return of this franchise. But Eric has always spoke his mind.
Jim Brown I believe was very critical of the Browns over the years but they do not shun him. Worst thing Fisher and the Rams could have done was make that phone call. He should have accepted what Dickerson was saying and left it alone.
