At his first training camp meeting with his team, Los Angeles Rams coach Jeff Fisher laid out the rules.
1. Be on time.
2. No visitors to the dorms at the University of California-Irvine.
Cut to the next day. Fisher calls wide receiver Deon Long, who broke rule No. 2, to his office. Fisher cuts Long from the team so beginning another season of “Hard Knocks,” the HBO reality series which will follow the Rams through training camp.
After letting Long go, Fisher uses him as an example. He says that kind of behavior will lead to a sub-par season.
