Sports for their excellent "Dream Chasers" series. Long spent two seasons getting his grades up at junior college before using his final year of eligibility at Oregon.

I've lived with people that passed away because of addiction. I'll never take a day for granted. I'll never take a rep for granted," Long said. Without his immense talent, no one would be interested in telling Long's story.

Following some thoughts about retirement, LeSean McCoy's quest for the right situation on the right team continues two weeks ahead of clubs reporting for training camp.
It seems as the Bears love Long's athleticism, which is impressive. But the Stanford game makes it pretty clear that Long isn't likely to be a Pro Bowler at guard for at least two years. He simply has too much to learn. He has to go against the best and learn how to deal with that. I think that he can do that, but it's going to take some time. But, he's big, he's strong, and he moves really, really well. It's a high-risk, high-reward move by Emery and the Bears, and as a fan of both Oregon and Chicago, I'm hopeful it'll work out.

Monk I hate acronyms Donator. Sean Jensen's best stuff is his outside of football pieces. I became a man while playing in Chicago.
