You know, I was just deleting my post when your alert came up because it is seldom worth getting into to a pissing contest over this type of stuff. But, it just seems to me that when guys choose to leave NE, they typically get vilified for it. Unlike many who leave, Long seemed honest and respectful. He thanked everyone, didn't burn any bridges and simply said the system here wasn't the best for him with which, by the way, Bill B. publicly agreed. If people want to criticize him for his politics or stands on social issues, have at it. But, don't obscure that by claiming he's some bad teammate who bad-mouths people behind their backs because I've seen no evidence of that.
