I was a Chicago Bears fan when it was football and not basketball with helmets. Howie Long was the only non Bear player I would root for. A ‘Manster’ when he played, and an engaging dignified football analyst in his following career. I thoroughly enjoyed this insight. Now all he needs is to be featured on a ‘Finding Your Roots’ episode, like his broadcast buddy.

Howie is awesome, Used to watch him live at the LA Colosseum- as we had season tix. I love the Raiders, I bleed Silver & Black, am sitting in my car wearing Raiders gear and waiting tonight’s game here in LA

Raider's were weak show girls after leaving Oakland and played like fairy's.

On Sundays, I still pray to the All Mighty Al Davis

Why isn’t Trey doing NFL Live, he’s the best ever on that show?

[@thetwotravelers546]

One thing Howie lefted out, he was playing in Oakland and at that time they were bad ass and where seen as being tough. I lived in Oakland from 1981 to 1990, and since then the Raiders have been seen as weak.

I would do well in Marine Bio, but would fail Calculus - even with a math tutor
