More proof that professional athletes are just like the rest of us: Here's Rams defensive end Chris Long, making the local news in Charlottesville, Virginia, for a story about the $1.58 billion Powerball lottery.

“I already told my old lady, if we win, we’re going down to Myrtle Beach for about 10 months, and we’re getting a timeshare, the whole nine yards," Long explained in what Adam Jones thinks is one of the greatest acting performances since Antonio Brown's Grammy-worthy effort last Saturday. "And maybe a big boat, a couple boats, a lot of boats. We’re gonna have a great time.”
Timeshares are a great investment https://t.co/D0eZiu6ATa

Unfortunately, Long wasn't one of the three Powerball winners, who were residents of California, Florida and Tennessee.
Silver lining: In that get up, Long can tell people he's really Undercover Johnny "Billy Vegas" Manziel.
