Rams deny Eric Dickerson banned from sideline over criticism
Former Los Angeles Rams running back Eric Dickerson seems to be at odds with his old team.
Dickerson - who has been critical of the Rams' lackluster opening season in L.A. - said on his AM 570 radio show Monday that a member of the team's upper-management staff called him to say he is making "the players feel uncomfortable" and that "they don't want me on the sidelines, basically they don't want me at the game."

Rams executive vice president of football operations Kevin Demoff, however, took to Twitter later on Monday to deny that Dickerson has been banned from games.
All Rams alumni, and especially @EricDickerson, are always welcome at our games and practices.

I have reached out to Eric to see where a miscommunication may have occurred & to clear up any confusion over his presence at games.

Most importantly I want to make sure he knows that he is a valued member of @RamsNFL family. We all share his love for our team & our fans
