Hall of Fame running back and Los Angeles Rams legend Eric Dickerson is unlikely to attend Sunday’s Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium between the Rams and Cincinnati Bengals. He made that very clear during an interview on CBS Sports Radio’s Maggie and Perloff Show that he would rather watch the game on television because the Rams only offered him nosebleed tickets to the Super Bowl.
“Let’s put it like this, they wanted to give me tickets in the rafters,” Dickerson said. “In the 400s, so I said, ‘I’d rather stay at home and watch it.'”
At least one other former player doesn’t feel the least but sorry for him.
Jim Everett, who quarterbacked the Rams from 1986 to 1993, tweeted Saturday that he would be inside SoFi Stadium and made a very clear message to Dickerson by saying he did not care about where his seats were, “unlike other legends.”
“Wouldn’t miss this game for anything. Unlike other Legends, I don’t have a care in the world about where my seats are, we in the HOUSE! Very thankful for the @RamsNFL for providing a gracious opportunity to be part of the first ever (Super Bowl) in LA!”
Dickerson spent the first four-plus seasons of his career with the franchise, who selected him second overall in the 1983 NFL draft.

The 61-year-old rushed for 7,245 yards and 56 touchdowns in 65 career games for the Rams and also caught 123 passes for 912 yards and two touchdowns. He is the second-leading rusher in Rams history.
It remains unclear if the franchise will offer him better seats for Sunday’s game.
