Todd Gurley Ready To Throw Hands With Fan ... After Twitter Threat
Here's a bit of advice ... if you come at Todd Gurley threatening to fight, you better be ready to scrap, 'cause the Rams star fired back at a frustrated fan saying he's ready whenever and wherever.
It's no secret ... Gurley hasn't had as productive of a season as fantasy owners would've hoped (he hasn't had a 100-yard rushing game all season).
So when one fan decided to go after Gurley on Twitter Thursday night saying, "if I ever see you in public we're fist fighting over your fantasy football performance this year" ... T.G. barked right back:
"Pull up then."
It's been a tough season for Gurley ... and the Rams lost to the Seahawks 24-3 on Thursday Night Football, so it seems like he's reaching his boiling point.
Hang in there, Todd.

Eric Dickerson Me Back On The Rams Sidelines? Not So Fast!!
NFL legend Eric Dickerson has a message for anyone thinking he's gonna rush back to the sidelines of Rams games now that Jeff Fisher is out as coach ... not so fast, homie.
It wasn't too long ago that Fisher called Dickerson up personally and banned him from hanging with the team at games ... apparently miffed that ED was being publicly critical about the team's play.
Eric was none too pleased about the decision, and he wasn't only one ... with a lot of people -- including Snoop Dogg -- asking how the franchise could treat one its greats like that.
We got ED out in the OC and wanted to know if he'd be rushing (get it) back to the games now that Fisher is gone ... and he let us know ... he might be busy those days.
This Ain't Over.

Jim -- who took the Giants to the Super Bowl in 2000 -- says he was sad to see his "lifelong friend" Fisher lose his job, but excited for John's first shot at being a head coach in the NFL.
"They selected the right guy," Fassel says. "He's been very successful with his guys and they have a lot of fun with him. I've been around the players and seen the way they relate with each other."
"He has a lot on his plate, but I know he's going to work hard. I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet because he's been working since Sunday afternoon."
As for Fassel's advice to his son ... "I'm going to tell him to be himself. Don't do anything different. I know the players play hard for him. If he keeps doing the same thing, he'll do well."

Eric Dickerson Blasts Jeff Fisher Don't Compare Me to Britney Spears!!!
Eric Dickerson says he will NEVER go to another Rams game as long as Jeff Fisher is the coach ... and part of it has to do with Britney Spears.
The Rams legend finally revealed it was Fisher who called him up and told him the team doesn't want him on the sidelines at games ... over public criticisms Eric has made about the team.
So, what does Britney Spears have to do with it?
Fisher apparently tried to tell E.D. he wanted more positivity from sideline VIPs -- like Eddie George and Britney Spears, who was on the sidelines at Rams practice earlier this month.
Dickerson didn't like that ... at all.
"I'm thinking in my mind, I don't give a DANG dang about Britney Spears," Dickerson said on the Jason Smith Show on Fox Sports Radio.
"Britney Spears don't know anything about football! She can't run a 47 gap."
"I like Britney Spears too, but I don't care about no Britney Spears! I don't wanna hear that crap!"
Rams management says the whole thing is a giant "misunderstanding."
No word on when Britney will make her return to the Rams sidelines.

Rams' Robert Quinn Family Called 911 for Possible Seizure
L.A. Rams defensive end Robert Quinn was shaking uncontrollably during an episode on Monday morning -- and his mother-in-law called 911 because she believed he was having a seizure.
The 26-year-old was at a home in Agoura, CA when the medical episode began around 6 AM. His mother-in-law was at the residence at the time -- and despite the fact she was clearly frightened, she composed herself enough to call 911.
At the time of the call, Quinn's mother-in-law told the operator he was still shaking ... though he stopped during the call and actually stood up. The operator advised Quinn to lay back down.
Emergency personnel raced to the scene and Quinn was transported to a nearby hospital. He was released the next day.
Quinn was diagnosed and treated for a brain tumor in high school -- though it's unclear if that condition contributed to the episode on Monday.
