There's something to be said for being the first, right? I'm sure that Deon Long would have rather pioneered a more positive aspect of professional football, but considering Jeff Fisher's willingness to release a guy for nothing more than trying to get his fuck on during training camp that wasn't likely to happen. Might as well be the first guy to lose his job on national television and have the viewing audience respond with nothing more than a smile. Hell, everybody likes someone that makes them laugh, and that's the exact reaction that Deon Long elicited from me when he wiped his ass with a team rule after approximately 24 hours as a member of the team. I swear, even Ryan Mallet whining about an alarm clock malfunction felt more genuine and worthy of mercy than this idiot. I understand that part of that was the editing that would make you think that Deon Long was texting his girl the address along with a picture of his dick while listening to Jeff Fisher prohibit her presence at the facility, but that amount of stupidity transcends the directorial liberties taken. Fucking undrafted free agent that's magically employed by the only team in the league that has a wide receiver corps that's so talent barren that he might just just be able to contribute and he gets cut over a potential nut that I'm assuming never even came to fruition. He might not be the first victim of the power of the pussy, but he's the first that the average male in the 18-50 age range couldn't sympathize with.
