Rams Prank Sleeping Jo-Lonn Dunbar with Elaborate Funeral Setup

Falling asleep on a team massage table is the NFL equivalent of conking out at someone else’s house with your shoes on—you have forfeited your right to fair treatment and decency.

Rams linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar figured out this hard truth for himself Tuesday when he awoke from a nap in the team’s facilities and discovered he had "died."

Veteran defensive end Chris Long (h/t LarryBrownSports.com’s Steve DelVecchio) documented the prank. It appears the Rams found Dunbar in such a deep sleep that a talcum powder burial seemed the only appropriate memorial.

Dunbar’s teammates even had the decency to craft a makeshift headstone for the sleeping linebacker. The sign read “Jolon [sic] Dubar 1986-2014: They don’t make ‘em like me anymore.”

Long captioned his photo, “I’ll miss you @jdunbar58.” 

After taking a picture, Long attempted to wake Dunbar, which turned out to be a task.

How thoughtful, guys. I would’ve dipped his hand in a warm bowl of cider, but you can’t knock a prank that involves traffic cones and a cornucopia. That’s strong work.
