Eric Dickerson: A Football Life

[Puckhead48E]

And it is ok to admit you are all just jealous of those kickin' glasses he rocked. Pro football superstar...yet always ready for some racketball.

[couch 'em]

I don't think Dickerson has bad intentions. I just don't think he is very smart

[Rayburn]

... Oh, and we are shocked that an exceptionally talented football player is a [deleted] bag. We are amazed that some kid who was given a brand few freaking car by A&M and god knows how much cash by UT as a high schooler (I ignore our sins here, blinded by desire) has an inflated sense of self? Seriously...WTF? ...

Who here has said they were shocked that Eric was a [deleted]? Your casting things in terms no one but you have expressed.

Oh, by the way, one of the reasons that Eric hates UT so much is that they actually refused to pay his price. That's a fact.

Some of his teammates and some of you say Dickerson was not a team player, but he sure as hell made his teams better, a lot better. He flat out performed.

He reminds me of Mark Aguire. Mark was a great player for the Mavs, but was run off by fans, teammates and coaches that did not like his personality. They said he was moody. I would
always get really annoyed at everybody harping on his moodiness. Hey people, get over it! So he was moody! who gives a crap?? Yet,
he always performed. He was run out of Dallas and became an extremely valuable piece of the Bad Boys Detroit Pistons title run. Any the Mavs got a truly selfish player in return in the form of Adrian Dantley.

Lesson? sometimes it is better to accept these divas peculiar personalities and appreciate what they do. The Rams should have paid Dickerson what he was worth, and should have added a QB to help him. Yes, they received
a King's ransom in the trade, but they blew it with Dickerson. Period.

As a person who grew up in LA, I can tell you the rams owner, who remains nameless, just started sucking in the effort to help force the move to St. Louis. As a LA Rams fan, I was so excited to see Eric play. Oh, what could have been.

Go Ponies!

Greatest athlete to ever play at SMU

Truth. One of the greatest anywhere

[The PonyGrad]

We were 2 deep on the OL in those days and could rotate lines to keep everyone fresh...and passing QBs knew we were a running team so it was probably tough to recruit pro-style guys but Lance was a pretty good option QB

He was a great option QB. His w/l record is outstanding.

Lance is the winningest QB in SWC history and that is never going to change!
