Rams Defensive End William Hayes Believes Mermaids Are Real, Dinosaurs Are Not
The Los Angeles Rams are this year’s subject of
Hard Knocks, with the angle of showing how a team adjusts from moving from Missouri to glamorous Los Angeles. Additionally, the show has revealed how many players appear to shun basic science.
In a clip from the show, head coach Jeff Fisher explains that Hayes was “real excited” for the team to relocate to Los Angeles, because “he knew that he would be closer to mermaids.” It sounds ridiculous, but at its core, the logic is sound: Who has ever heard of a Mississippi River mermaid?
Hayes also revisits his stance on dinosaurs: “I just can’t fathom a T-rex walkin’ around here, something that man ain’t ever seen.” Makes you think.
Hayes shouldn’t sweat it, though. On last week’s episode of
Hard Knocks, it was
revealed that new Rams QB Jared Goff had no idea which direction the sun rises and sets. Goff, who went to school in Berkeley—a town from which one can see the sun setting to its west over the San Francisco Bay—wasn’t previously aware of the sun’s daily trajectory.
