I found this in the weekly sports editorial columns of a newspaper close to Dustin's hometown.

PN-G ex Dustin Long should be encouraged by what's happened with the Houston Texans' No. 3 quarterback, Dave Ragone, in NFL Europe. Ragone, who has been an afterthought in two seasons stuck behind David Carr and Tony Banks in Houston, has seen his stock soar after being named the league's MVP while leading the Berlin Thunder to the World Bowl. Ragone had a QB rating of 97.5, a 62.5 percent completion percentage and was intercepted only twice in 251 attempts. As a result, he'll probably have a chance to become the next Kurt Warner or Jake Delhomme, although it probably won't be with the Texans. Long, meanwhile, has a commitment from the Dallas Cowboys to be place him in NFL Europe for next season. Until then, he's probably going to be the quarterback coach for his dad at Kelly High School
