Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson made an appearance on CBS Sports Radio’s “Maggie and Perloff Show” and asked if he planned to attend the game.
His response stunned the hosts.
“I don’t think I’m going to the game,” Dickerson said. “I’m just going to watch it on TV.”
Maggie Gray and Andrew Perloff, the hosts of the show, followed up, asking the franchise’s second-leading rusher why he wouldn’t be in attendance for the team’s Super Bowl appearance.

“Let’s put it like this, they wanted to give me tickets in the rafters,” Dickerson said, via CBSSports.com. “In the 400s, so I said, ‘I’d rather stay at home and watch it.’”
This isn’t the first time Dickerson had an issue with the franchise.
In 2016, Dickerson said he stopped attending games because he was banned from the team by former head coach Jeff Fisher. After Fisher was fired in December 2016, Dickerson signed a one-day contract with the team so he could retire as a Rams player. And he was hired as the team’s vice president of business development.

Dickerson ran for over 13,000 yards during his career, which also included stints with the Colts, Raiders and Falcons. He holds the league’s single-season rushing record with 2,105 yards, which he set in 1984. Dickerson, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999, was also named to the NFL’s 100th Anniversary All-Time Team.
