Eric Dickerson has a complicated relationship with the Rams. But between time, a new regime and a Super Bowl run, those hard feelings are starting to melt away
Eric Dickerson on Learning to Love the Rams Again
This isn’t necessarily what he would choose for an ideal Monday night. But he also understands the fanbase that rooted for him from 1983–87, before the trade, before the move, before the return and before something like a reconciliation—an ongoing process between all parties. Between the star who demanded out and the team that shipped him to “Siberia.” And between the fans spurned and the franchise that spurned them, as they continue to grapple with its return.
As a woman in a Cooper Kupp jersey shouts, “Yo, Eric Dickerson signed my T-shirt!” the man himself stands at an intersection consisting of one person. He ranks among the most beloved figures in franchise history, and yet, his feelings about that franchise are forever complicated. He loved being a Ram. He just wishes the Rams front office had loved him back.
Team officials had called the night before the draft to inform him they planned to trade up with the Houston Oilers for the second pick. He was at the airport when it became official: He was headed to L.A.At his initial press conference, Dickerson balked when a reporter asked if he planned to become a Rams “savior.” “I just want to play football,” he responded, as a contentious relationship with the press continued. He says his distrust of the all-encompassing media started at SMU.
