[@Davantae_Adams]

I could listen to Howie talk all day long! May not be for everyone, but I love hearing about the foundation of our greatness. WE WILL BE BACK!!!

[@jdm350gts_hr]

I was thinking the exact same bro. Love legends telling stories.

[@ecgodsmack86]

The faithful will be rewarded when Maxx is holding up the Lombardi trophy in the Silver N Black!

[@joeygilmore5098]

No pun attended

[@jonmolina948]

Those Lyle Azado stories had me laughing 😂

[@bobyost42]

When a legend like Howie Long says "You're the most disruptive defensive lineman in football!" That's high praise!!

[@ecgodsmack86]

Yes

[@Eumin]

He is as objective as he can be, too. It's his job to be objective and he takes that seriously. Howie has never hyped up players just because they are Raiders. Dude is pure class.

[@bobyost42]

@@Eumin yup! Pure class indeed, just as he was during his career!

[@jonmolina948]

Maxx literally does everything on the field. Plays every snap. Tackles for loss, sacking the QB, stopping the run, and he tracks the football like a linebacker too.

[@DonaldSimmons-b5d]

Howie is one of my all-time favorites and I'm absolutely loving this. Laughing and smiles

[@eddiemosqueda8869]

Love hearing 75 talk about the old days and equally excited that we have Maxx on the team on his way to legend status

[@r3ddirtr8r28]

Howie!!!!! Thanks Maxx for bringing all these greats onto the show! Raiiiderrrrsss!!!

[@PillageandPlunder7581]

Loved that you had Howie on. He and Mike Haynes were the reason I became a Raiders fan. They signed my ball when I was little. Great interview.

[@ericcarlberg5895]

"You just get in your Phone Booth and Play your Ass off." - 49:57 - That statement says it all about how you are supposed to play the game. Thank you for the great interview!!

[@austinreed7073]

“A HEAD of his time.” I love it.

[@CoachAdrian916]

75 days out 🏴‍☠️ Perfect to have Mr. 75 on 👊🏼

[@billydias6807]

I could listen to Howie forever, the positive energy is second to none! The common sense though!!! He brought up the main thing for sure, culture! Maxx definitely brought that back.🙌🏻 LETS GO!!! 💪🏻☠️Roughneck Raider Family! He brought the Maxx love for sure damn, a few snaps to recharge yourself brother! WOW My boys on The Rush at Church👊🏻

[@Prod.Yellowlite]

When I saw the title on YT I was like “LETSSSS GOOOOO” real Raider shit baby

[@Shirley_-zn8kl]

WE WATCTED EVERY GAME ON TV ONCE WENT TO SEEN HIM PLAY, WITH MY BOYS IN LA

[@Robheinn]

My favorite Alum🏴‍☠️

[@shannonchurchill4556]

When Maxx asked what was the craziest fight Howie ever saw, I knew it had to have involved "3 Mile Lyle" Alzado

[@jerrythomasdildine8956]

That was sweet! I almost got run over by a truck out of the tunnel in Oakland. It was Steve Wisnewski. That guy was huge!

[@g.brooklynfoxy6586]

Great episode! Just wish one of you guys would've asked him about Howie's acting career....probably could've had some laughs from that. Saluuute Maxx!

[@hyllstarter7090]

I met Cedric Hardman back in the mid 90's he was a really nice person.

[@looneyrooney5322]

This guy is an absolute legend! 🖤🩶

[@myopinion2733]

100% Respect my brother..RN4L

[@Shay_Mendez]

I understand what Howie's saying about the not wanting you to have to play so many snaps. He wants you to have a long career, full of records breaking, superbowls and achievements. Remembering to pace yourself and understand your physical limitations so you don't get hurt halfway through the season trying to hoist the team on your back the entire time. We've lost a lot of good players to that sort of thing over the decades. You're a 1 in a million kind of player Maxx. The Nation wants you to have a long productive career without exhausting yourself on the field.

[@nutmg1]

😅 Max was blowing him off in a respectful way about coming off the field.

[@rdogg222]

Here's a Raiders D-Lineman nobody remembers: Ben Davidson. I remember reading how Joe Namath almost died on the field from one of his hits.

[@DrMaxiemon]

Love these old Raider stories. Thanks Howie for the Cliff Branch love. I am his Nephew. #21 Speeds Kills.

[@ryanrudick5640]

Man I can’t tell you the amount of times I talk to cliff down at the Oakland games the first game I ever went I was probably 7 seen him at raider image and he let me and my sister try on his Super Bowl ring was one of the best memories from going down to the games

[@bobyost42]

Man I only wish your uncle had seen his well deserved induction into the HoF. Cliff Branch changed football forever!!

[@lawrencetravisHI]

I think Cliff was a Raider his whole career and played in the 3 SB victories. What a Raider!

[@bobyost42]

@@lawrencetravisHI you are correct sir!!

[@scottdavidson9963]

Cliff flew!

[@doclew28]

Howie talking to Maxx is INSANE!!! My favorite growing up with my favorite as an adult.

[@CaptainHook_90]

Cap

[@ecgodsmack86]

Real

[@VanillaGoriila]

Howie was my first favorite player. I was a massive Howie fan as a kid. I was so pumped when we got Maxx. I told my son. That's the best pick they made in decades. I just had a feeling about Maxx!

[@eddiec818]

DAMN!!! Gets me jacked up to hear Howie talk about his raiders and give Maxx his flowers. Also, loved how the boys just let Howie talk. He’s a legend that knows what he is talking about. Let the man speak. Awesome episode.

[@johnnyhadley9818]

This pod cast is the greatest of all time. Im 51 almost 52. I idolized Howie as a young player. Howie's jersey is the first NFL jersey I ever owned. Its the only jersey I ever wanted. Then came MAXX! I have both now and wear them proudly every time I put them on. This is for me ? Watching the 2 greatest men to ever play the game. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. This is Legendary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nathanwalsh3028]

Being old has its perks. I'm 51. I got to see Howie up close in person. Like up close in person. I live here in Western New York. So the Raiders came up here a few different times and played the Bills. Before tickets cost as much as a brand new car. I would always be front row right next to the raiders bench. Have many many pictures of it.

[@justadudeintheworldman.120]

This is like future Maxx talking to present Maxx

[@BFPC-bs5lr]

Hell Yeah!!!! Greg Townsend!!! I was so hoping Howie would say his name. Greg Townsend should be in the HOF IMO. Thats the Raiders All Time Sack leader. For such an iconic franchise. Come on! HOF!

[@stancurtisiii5610]

Yes, sir. Townsend is HOF worthy, hands down !

[@JT_RAIDAH]

Two best pass rushers in Raiders history 🔥

[@DQ_ThaBiggest]

Khalil Mack. All pro at 2 positions

[@shannonchurchill4556]

Actually, Greg Townsend is the Raiders all-time sack leader if we're purely talking stats.

[@raider_reaper_4194]

Townsend and Mack?

[@jsopesos]

I’d say Townsend Howie Maxx then Mack in that order my opinion

[@stevenvicijan4338]

In the sane room . . .

[@jeremiahrose4681]

YES! The man, the legend the icon...Howie. One of my favorite Raiders ever. He was one of the last true renegade Raiders.

[@RickSmiley]

The ABSOLUTE best episode of The Rush yet! Howie speaks GOLD.

[@bobyost42]

Fully agree!! This one is special!!

[@DonaldSimmons-b5d]

Thank you Maxx and Howie for turning a shity day into a good one. Great talk

[@SuperOmnicronsj44]

Howie brought up a bigg point about recreating the culture. The alumni resonated with that and even THEY bought in ...that was the Crosby-Pierce difference. They too were included in the post game gatherings and nodded approval. This was a nice touch to bring in Long , who was the LAST Oakland Raider drafted before the eventual move to Vegas. Crosby was the last Oakland Raider before the move to Vega$ . I am hoping Crosby is the foreshadowing of ftuture greatness for the Raiderds.

[@pepevonkek4493]

Howie had the quickest getoff for an interior D Lineman that I’ve ever seen. He played like he knew the snap count better than opposing OL. Game wrecker

[@Westc1970]

He jumped offsides a whole lot also. I have been amazed- I have been rewatching all the seasons lately and Howie was good for at least one offsides a game 😂

[@1R8Rnatn]

I remember when Al drafted this kid out of a small school. Nobody thought much of him then. Just like Maxx. when he came into the league. These two are cut from the same cloth. Maxx will join Howie one day in the HOF as one of if not the greatest Raider ever to lace em up in Maxx Crosby!

[@theautumnwind3731]

Good job having Howie on. Watched him many times over the years. Dude was legit🔥

[@GABEH909]

I really appreciate this one MAXX. I use to love watching Howie play and like many have mentioned, I could listen to Howie talk football all day, he is bad ass in his movies also😂 RAAAAAIDERS!!

[@golf18fitness81]

Awesome interview! To hear Howie talk about all the Legends was priceless. Howie had to sleep in Marcus’s room to stay clear of Lyle.😬😂

[@marvinderbycitysanders7857]

This was one of the best…if not THE BEST interviews ever! I loved those days watching Howie Long doing his thing along with the rest of my RAIDERS back in the day! THANK YOU HOWIE AND MAXX!🤣❤️👏🏾🦾🦾🦾🔥🔥🔥

[@dinoruiz1592]

This was a raw one👏 thank you Maxx & the crew for having one of the OG Raider Hall of famers on.

[@saulresendiz7964]

Thank you for having Howie Long on🙏🏽 Mad respect for him! Howie is a true OG and a class act. I love that he expressed his respect and admiration for Maxx and what he brings to the game. The father in him, offering great advice to Maxx, just awesome 👏 I hope this is the first of many interviews with Howie. RN4L!!

[@TheViolator57]

What a great show you guys! Awesome listening to Howie Long dropping nuggets on life and football gave my goosebumps!! Priceless conversation! #DAWG💪🏾🏴‍☠️🏈🖤🏆🏆🏆

[@davemanning2719]

That was so good. I have been a Raider fan since 76 and watched Howie's whole career. The guy is a stud and a legend, and Maxx is headed in the same direction. Two great Raiders chopping it up, what could be better? Howie had some great stories and had me laughing. Thanks guys, well done.

[@guzziguy2011]

Three Mile Lyle, cuz Alzado could go nuclear anytime! lol Howie really takes care of himself. Looks like he could still play. Aging incredibly. Beast! Used to love it when he did his uni adjustment of his neck gear/collar. Like he was getting ready to tool someone every play. He played hurt an entire year (can’t recall what year), but came back with vengeance the next year(s). Legend.

I love listening to these on Tuesdays at work

[@All_Eyes_On_G]

Al Davis would absolutely love Maxx, no doubt about it. BTW I'd love for you guys to bring on Bob Romanski and hear stories that he has and the ones his father told him. Great show fellas.

[@BillPlain1]

He has been a class act since he made it to television. What a truly great representative of the NFL, at many different levels. It is why he is a HOF player. He is a HOF person first.

[@jamesduarte1021]

Love how Maxx picking his brain ! You can truly tell hes wants to be great edge rusher in Raider history!

I have been a Howie fan(over 40 years)for a very long time but it was so good hearing him talk to you like that, and about the Raiders like that. Love to see him on tv, but i never get to here him talk Raiders like that. Love it so much. Thank you, it was a dream come true getting to hear both you and him talking raiders. Cant wait to see you in that gold jacket one day, but not too soon I love watching you play too much. Go Raiders!!!!!

You are already on my Mount Rushmore of Raiders players! To watch you chop it up with Howie was something I will always remember. Thanks for being a TRUE Raider! You are everything a 52 year old fan like me could dream of on and off the field! I know you will bring us to Championship glory and I just wanted you to know what you mean to me and so many other true Raider fans! You remind me why the SHIELD is something to be proud of even in the dark times. Thank you man!

We all want you to have a long successful career and winning some championships.
