Go back and try to find a critical post from me on Bernie's articles. Good Luck.
However, his latest about a Man-Crush on Long and swooning is just plain stupid.
Some have pointed it out here - and then Mel Kiper repeated it yesterday - the athletic skills of Long are as good as any DE to come out in the last six years. Long gets driven into the high-motor effort stereotype, when, in fact, he's an elite athlete - along with crashing the books and the weight room.
I think Bernie got burned by some some pre-draft comments by teams bluffing and jiving - and hell hath no fury like a bamboozled man.
Teams are happy with their first round picks and whoop it up - and that happens every single year.
I feel Bernie's pain over "
what might have been" and "
we had the time
of our lives (before draft-day)," but I think Long's career will be double Dorsey's effective playing days.
