Now that’s a player worth feeling happy for

Feb 5, 2018 5:50 AM

This is Chris Long. Chris just won a Super Bowl. This year he donated every paycheck to educational charities and scholarships. Every last one. I get rooting against Brady, but don’t forget to be happy for Chris. Congrats, man.

Howie Long's kid. He was great to watch in HS and at UVA.

He did market underdog tshirts and gave that to the school’s, too. Then the NFL copies the idea. So he guilted them via Twitter to do it too

A class act and one of my favourite players. He deserves all the best karma in the world.

Jake Elliott is from my town and helped with a campaign to sell t-shirts to raise money in honor of a young girl who was murdered here.

Both teams he's signed with in the past 2 years have won the Super Bowl. My friend Vinny from Vegas wants to know what team next year.

Lol. What’s funny is that unlike in every other deal, HE called THEM and asked if they would extend an offer, because he liked what he saw

If I made that kind of money, I could live my entire existence off less than a years' salary. Donations would abound.

I don't get rooting for Brady, did I miss something?

Oh, no.I said I understand everyone rooting against Brady(over saturation, really),but the point was instead root FOR a decent guy over hate

Understanding something and doing something are two different things. Just takes reading what’s written, and not assuming.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yes but it is written in a nonsensical way especially being the eagles won. Patriots fan?

Nope. Eagles fan.

Just saw a person doing good, and frankly I don’t think Brady deserves all the crap he gets

I always felt Nick Foles was a better QB than people gave him credit for. Here's to a great Cinderella Man moment for him.

8 years ago | Likes 25 Dislikes 1

Blame Jeff Fisher, who managed to mess up having Foles, Goff, and Keenum all on the same team. They've all excelled since leaving the Rams.

I like blaming Jeff Fisher

He will see a nice big bonus and most importantly a lot of adoring fans from his kind actions

And sponsorship money from various brands that probably amount to more than his pay checks. Top guy, deserves alot more respect.

He doesn’t have any listed to him. He’s not an all-pro. He’s very good, but not a household name

Then he is even more heroic than 1st thought. Im from the uk so know nothing about him. The world needs more like him.

For him, giving up his salary is basically not picking up a dollar you see on the side of the road every week.

Gave his paycheck yes but probably lives off his signing bonus

Maybe, but his bonus was 250k this year (not bad!). He donated 2.5m.

People kill me. Yes he still has money....its still an amazing thing he did.

8 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

He's been in the league 10 yrs making over $40M. His $250k bonus probably isn't really making much of a dent. Very smart guy, doesn't blow $

As a Pats fan it was sad to lose him. After tonight it’s impossible not to root for him. He has to get a tat of his D coordinator though lol

Lol, people with real money don't let the government withhold from their paycheck. They invest it and pay the bill at the end if the year

Except he can only take so much before it isn't covered. Everyone has a set limit on giving to charities.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Tax deductible...on what income, tho. Think it offsets his entire salary? If your bonus is 10%, is the 90% loss more or less than deductions

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Consider he’s always been charitable, and that he’s not a shill for advertisers

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

You can only donate like 10% of your income i think

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

You can donate all you want, you just might not be able to claim more than 10%.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Yeah, that’s what i meant. So you still have to pay taxes on 90% of your income regardless if you donate it.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

You claim 0, have extra withheld, then send the rest to charity. Too bad you can't donate it all pre-tax and never pay taxes.
