Howie doesn't take sides. He's always looking for a fair process for the league, the players, the fans and the owners. One of my favorite defensive players of all time. Love me some Howie 🏈🏈🏈

[@pakman54321]

This dude has not aged for like 30 years. Really sophisticated too.

[@lisalafayette]

Howie Long, just a beautiful man with a fantastic attitude. Love him. Awesome Raider.

[@BRIANDER100]

what do you find beautiful about him ?

[@lisalafayette]

@@BRIANDER100 Look.....I already know when a dude poses a question like this the person is looking for a fight. Men who are envious, jealous and lacking in self confidence absolutely hate it when women compliment handsome, secure, successful, accomplished men like Howie Long. Soooooo........ just move along and pick your next fight.

[@BRIANDER100]

@@lisalafayette i'm not looking for a fight....i was just wondering about this...your the one that sounds envious, jealous and lacking in self confidence

[@davidcrawford1551]

Howie Long is a class act.

[@spitfire4sergi]

His sons are all class, and big surprise, it started with good parents. What a family.

[@danfranco362]

Howie is the only dude from that deep in Boston that talks like he grew up in California

[@pckl300]

Working in the media, they used to beat that accent out of you. They wouldn't let you go on the air without a voice to match.

[@skiprope536]

YUP

[@keysersoze5920]

Met Howie back in 1984 at Raider camp in Napa, Ca. He was most gracious and made me feel so very welcome; thank you, Mr. Long. Oh, he has the thickest and strongest hands I've ever seen and shook.

[@amys5715]

I love this beautiful on the inside, beautiful on the outside man. They don't make them like him anymore.

[@Shinobi33]

The Moses joke at the end was pretty funny.

[@rona8663]

Howie's the man... great guy..

[@amelierenoncule]

In '85, after his game against the Bears, while walking to their cars he confessed to Lyle Alzado that he hadn't been SO beat-up in a game...since grade school. That's the very contest were, out of frustration, he began to cry...in the 3 rd. quarter.

84 honey🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🐘🐼🐬🐻🐳🐅🐕🐖🐄

[@Gregory-sm9pf]

Wtf, Howie never cried, get lost!

[@tonye2400]

that was very short but perfectly said. "don't tell me what you think, tell me what you know. " the league suspended him off of what they think happened!

[@adamkelly2399]

Totally agree.

[@markr7986]

Howie is great. This clip tells absolutely nothing about Howie’s numerous stories growing up in Charlestown though. He had a tough and very interesting childhood.

[@albertoramirez5977]

Didn’t he play high school football in Milford? That’s quite a ride from Boston to Milford.

[@beantowner76]

He moved in with his uncle in Milford and lived and went to school there for his high school years. If not for his uncles and grandmother he would have never made it into college or become a football hall of famer.

[@snappa8791]

He left his family in the projects

[@beachballer3517]

Howie has it down.... Charlestown use to be tough, now it's filled with Yuppies. The tough parts of Boston have shifted to Rozzie, Dot, and Mattapan

[@Wavyles]

*murdapan

[@skiprope536]

don5 forget Jamaica Way.

[@albertoramirez5977]

Tough isn’t tough anymore. Kids shoot people now a days. No more punching it’s jumping knifing and murdering. Which a bunch of mental girls could do. That doesn’t make it tough

[@sergeontheloose]

Remind me where that homicidal Patriots tight-end Aaron Hernandez was doing his killings?

[@albertoramirez5977]

sergeontheloose Attleboro and Boston, most likely Florida , Connecticut

[@TheConchologist]

Great player good guy! Never thought he was as good as Mark Gastineau

[@jeffrey3498]

Milford High School, 1972, a few players from the JV and Varsity basketball teams were standing around at half court. Out of nowhere, and I never understood why he did this, Howie grabbed one of his teammates and pile drived him head first into the hardwood court. This is all I know or remember about Howie Long in high school.

[@davidhalley937]

I grew up in Charlestown and Howie is right about how bad it use to be. The funny thing is he dated my sister Diane for a little bit.

[@snappa8791]

He left his family in the projects while he went out to California became a millionaire living in a mansion and did nothing for nobody good dude tho I hear ya!!

[@omni-man4624]

Really?

[@davidhalley937]

@@omni-man4624 They went to school together.

[@sophiea22]

I met him at my aunts wedding- he’s my uncles friend- WHAT

[@charlestidwell5361]

I like Howie

[@PatriotDemers]

Went to Milford high school with my uncle who was one of his best friends. When he made it to the nfl he snubbed his best friends & teammates at a game they went to. Without them helping him from failing high school he wouldn’t of made it into college.

[@omni-man4624]

Wow, really!

[@roxxylala26]

Aww didn't know Howie was from Charlestown, Mass.

[@snappa8791]

At least Mark Wahlberg, who's from Dorchester, built the gym for Charlestown high... what did howie Long do for Charlestown? I'll wait..

[@zmitch88]

tough lol all good no worries man

[@robdobson5056]

I hate him: great athlete, smart , handsome, eloquent... 😏

[@cosmic_JAV]

Right!! It's alright to be jealous when it's deserved.. I hate him too 😒

[@amys5715]

Yup

[@kennycarlson9654]

i remembered when he got brutally manhandled by erik williams in a game against cowboys in 92

[@martincahill3810]

Howie is great but its not like he was running the streets... Uncle got him out to Milford High .. very protected...no not a big townie... as in "The Town"

[@realdocphil]

Ok, my sister told me that Howie passed recently???.. Help.
