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.
adadsupreme
He also won a Super Bowl with the Patriots last year.
Mrblump
He did a great job when he was on the pats last year to ;(. Congratz him and his lovely family!
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
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
smashpro1
I like him because his brother plays for my team.

Thanks for posting a great post about a great player. Chris Long is a role model on and off the field, class act
tczkaixiii
Jake Elliot went to my high school.He donated his first big check to a scholarship memorial fund for a girl from our school who was murdered
AngelSparta
Howie raised an excellent young man. Congrats on the SB win.
TheFirstAvatar
A class act and one of my favourite players. He deserves all the best karma in the world.
catromance
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.
DicksmackMcgee
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.
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
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
PAPASQUATT
God i hope he goes to the lions.
Bullheadbelly
Donald Trump did that, then he didn’t.
BeenthereDonesome
If I made that kind of money, I could live my entire existence off less than a years' salary. Donations would abound.
Bridgekeeper
This man is awesome. Some people will never be happy no matter how much someone gives.

MrRojan
politicalhack
He's also Howie Long's kid.
Ltrain5
Don’t forget back to back champion as he won with the patriots last year as well.
mylastusernamewasmylastname
He also gets money for each win in the playoffs. Pretty sure he got 500k just last night
JohnQPubic
Chris Long is amazing in every way. Chris Long was also a Super Bowl winner with the Patriots last year.
leroy666
Is he related to Howie Long? Great Raider!
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
Chris is his kid
CheckMyKoalafications
He is a guy that regardless of what you think actually works puts his chips in on his beliefs. You've to give props to people that kick ass.
FuzzyWumpit
What language is this
Sonicdahedgie
That also describes Hitler, though.
doubledan
punctuation saves lives
DrOGscar55
He also is a part of/started a charity that builds wells in impoverished parts of Africa that need clean water

I don't get rooting for Brady, did I miss something?
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
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
OGsatan
OH I did indeed misread my bad
Coolbacca
Probably could have worded that better, I was confused as hell for a minute there too
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
Understanding something and doing something are two different things. Just takes reading what’s written, and not assuming.
Coolbacca
Yes but it is written in a nonsensical way especially being the eagles won. Patriots fan?
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
Nope. Eagles fan.
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
Just saw a person doing good, and frankly I don’t think Brady deserves all the crap he gets
TCGView
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.
AnalBaguette
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.
DixonHillPrivateEye
I like blaming Jeff Fisher
swellfie
I mean, he was an NFL record holding QB even before LII...
TCGView
Most people won't remember those records. They only remember the rings.
swellfie
Anyone who played vs Nick Foles in their fantasy league on 11/3/2013 will remember ;)
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
The man essentially worked for free. His paycheck was this celebration.
frostybox
I know nothing about this man bus as a Masshole, Fuck Brady!!!!!!!!!
miznizzler
He will see a nice big bonus and most importantly a lot of adoring fans from his kind actions
justarandombloke
And sponsorship money from various brands that probably amount to more than his pay checks. Top guy, deserves alot more respect.
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
He doesn’t have any listed to him. He’s not an all-pro. He’s very good, but not a household name
justarandombloke
Then he is even more heroic than 1st thought. Im from the uk so know nothing about him. The world needs more like him.
Vagabondream
Trump does the same.
BondHaimBond
Tweeting about is not the same.
ChainmailleAddict
For him, giving up his salary is basically not picking up a dollar you see on the side of the road every week.
IonlycommentTroyandAbedgifs
Gave his paycheck yes but probably lives off his signing bonus
JRC87
He's Howie Long's son, he's been wealthy his entire life.
tumnailz00451
Jealousy gets you nowhere, clown.
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
Maybe, but his bonus was 250k this year (not bad!). He donated 2.5m.
Gator629
People kill me. Yes he still has money....its still an amazing thing he did.
StephanSegull
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 $
skullified
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
TJ3027
???
Aquilarden
D coordinator? You mean his wife? (badum tsh)
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
Philly is pretty thankful for his contributions this year. Hey man, that was a hell of a barn-burner we witnessed.
tumnailz00451
Well said, sir. Philly Philly
skullified
Great game sir. You take your hat off and shake hands after a game like that. Congrats sir, please enjoy it
ActionVic
As a Rams fan I feel the same way about the team letting him go, great player and even greater person
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
His donations went to St. Louis schools, in addition to Boston and Philly. Still lookin out for his old cities
ClassyReposts
How did he pay for food and rent though
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
With the money he’s made prior. He thought he’d like to help, so he gave the rest to kids. Seems like a decent guy. didn’t have to give $1
OweMiGurd
Yeah and from endorsements
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
What endorsements? None on record, unless you know of some
Mentok
He's Howie Long's kid, he wasn't hurting for it. Also won SB last year.
tumnailz00451
Dats bull, pal. He worked for it. If he wasnt any good, he be LONG gone before dis.
Mentok
I didn't say he wasn't good, he very much is.
ClassyReposts
I have no idea who Howie long is, but I'm getting a vibe here that he's rich.
Mentok
He's a hall of famer and an announcer for fox
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
Chris has been more financially successful than his old man. Different eras. Still doesn’t change his charitable efforts
Mentok
No not in the least, a good deed is a good deed.
MondayFortunato
Maybe on nfl checks yes, but Fox is likely dropping some change for his dad to analyze
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
No. Total net worth.
Scuttlebutte
His tax refund is gonna be sick. All those are 100% tax deductible
IdoTaxes
Ur an idiot
PunishMentor
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
loganholman97
Except he can only take so much before it isn't covered. Everyone has a set limit on giving to charities.
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
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
HeresSomeMoneyGoSeeAStarWar
Consider he’s always been charitable, and that he’s not a shill for advertisers
KanyesGayFish
You can only donate like 10% of your income i think
DumbledoresRme
You can donate all you want, you just might not be able to claim more than 10%.
KanyesGayFish
Yeah, that’s what i meant. So you still have to pay taxes on 90% of your income regardless if you donate it.
KillingTlme
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.
