Eric Dickerson, The NFL's most iconic running back, joins The Pivot for a legendary conversation talking the Pony Express scandal, SMU's football death sentence, his NFL career and current running backs in the league today. The LA Rams hosted Channing, Fred and Ryan in the "Rams" Hollywood House for an evening of great conversation and memorable moments.
Wasting no time, Ryan and Channing get right into Dickerson's days at SMU and the money scandals that followed him and his college teammates during that time and the infamous Trans Am story. Sharing what really transpired back then, Eric opens up about how all of that really played out and how it has affected his legacy.
Fred talks the skill set of the NFL running back position during Eric's playing days and asks him who the #2 and #3 Rams running backs are in history and who the top 5 current backs today.
Considering himself a Ram for life, the foursome discuss how Dickerson never wanted to play for another team, the current Rams roster with recent super bowl run and what really went on with the talked about ticket situation with Dickerson's seats.
The Pivot Podcast releases new episodes on KZbin and all audio platforms every Tuesday at Noon eastern with special drops on Fridays at 3pm Eastern. Find exclusive Pivot merchandise and stay connected with us at www.pivotpodcast.com.

My stepdad helped Eric Dickerson change his flat tire on his Porsche 911 right outside of the big A stadium in Anaheim 1985. I was 6 years old and he shook my hand and gave me his autograph. I framed it and still have it..

[@johnhenry2903]

@Michael Jurek IMO It's not the money, it has to do with the fact that the game was dramatically different in its application of violence. Case in point, ED casually brought up eye gouging was a common thing during his era. Well... 25 years before that the applied violence was even worse. MLB was the only major sport that until recently was in essence the same game it was 100 years prior.

It’s amazing that running backs like ED, OJ, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, and a few others were able to run the ball at a time when the running game was the first option and despite never having a decent QB to keep defenses from putting 8-9 in the box.

[@to5msheppard]

I’m a 65-year-old fan grew up watching Eric Dickerson I got to try it with the 49ers and 80 they drafted Earl Cooper another big back I don’t know what happened to them I just know I always watched Dickerson what a great interview what a great man I love his humility And his confidence and the guy was way underpaid. It makes me sick to think some of the players that are making the money they are today and these older players that were twice or three times. The players of these people are got so little but the one thing you can’t take away, his personality and Eric Dickerson is a class act.

[@malikxshabazz443]

I could talk Eric Dickerson all day..he so humble

[@m5hector31]

One of my favorite RB of all times

The league and the direction of the NFL played a role in Barry Sanders retirement. Detroit would never trade Barry and couldn't build around him. Imagine Sanders in Dallas back then or team with dominant o line.👀👀👀💯 Dickerson was beast too!

[@beaujac311]

Dickerson is so right about eye glasses back then. They were really expensive and if you broke them it would take two or three weeks to get another pair. And did I say expensive! I got the cheapest frames they had back then and they were sorry. I'm talking the 1970's. I pay way less now for an eye exam and a pair of glasses then my parents paid back then. I know my glasses and exam cost at the least $100 dollars back then and now I can get an exam and glasses for less than that.
