FanHouse Dan Leone

Somewhere in the Philadelphia area Dan Leone shakes his head knowingly. The former Eagles employee was fired for making some derogatory comments about the team on his Facebook page.

Leone was devastated, just like Mike Wood, a recently canned part-timer for the Lambeau Field maintenance staff. Unlike Leone, Wood didn't call out the organization via his favorite social media platform. Instead, Packers head coach Mike McCarthy had Wood fired after what turned out to be a misunderstanding. At least according to Woods.

Via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Last month, the Eagles fired Dan Leone when, via Facebook, he referred to the organization's decision to let Brian Dawkins sign with the Broncos as "retarted". Leone, a game-day stadium employee, immediately apologized for his actions, but was still dismissed.

Leone subsequently made the media rounds telling his story in the hopes of getting his job back, and during an interview with FanHouse, he hinted that Dawkins' representatives might be in touch with him for his show of loyalty, even if misguided.

'HouseCast is FanHouse's podcast. Watch out. You might just get what you're after.

Ryan Wilson and Will Brinson aren't rebels. They conform to the letter of the law at every turn. But when you mix in a discussion about Andre Smith (right), an interview with "Fired Eagles Facebook Fan" Dan Leone, and a chat with FanHouse golf expert Shane Bacon, well, things have the potential to get a little risque. Which, surprisingly, is exactly what happened. Kind of.

Leone joins Brinson and Wilson to discuss the same things we previewed for you Wednesday -- his status with the team, what NFL folks have contacted him since the incident, and whether or not he's got a call in to Jackie Chiles. Bacon swings by to talk about Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and ... moobs.

Dan Leone, as you have no doubt heard by now, was fired by the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this week for writing a disparaging message about the team on his Facebook wall.

Dan referred to the Eagles as "retarded" and he is now unemployed, leaving him plenty of time to talk to journalist-blogger types on the phone. We were fortunate enough to talk with Dan recently and, while you won't be able to hear the full interview until Burning Down the House -- FanHouse's most popular podcast -- returns later this week, we thought we'd bring you a preview ...

Everyone is on Facebook (even FanHouse -- become a fan, holmes!) My older family members, old high-school teachers, everyone. It's just a fact of life.

Here's another fact of life: if you write something on your Facebook page, it's possible for everyone to see it. Texas lineman Buck Burnette learned this the hard way. And now, so has Dan Leone, a former employee of the Philadelphia Eagles, who was recently fired for referring to the team as "retarted" (though he presumably meant "retarded") in his Facebook status.
