The Untold Story of Howie Long|Raiders History

The Untold Story of Howie Long|Raiders History
When Howie Long was inducted into the Hall of Fame in July 2000, he reflected on his achievements and his place in the history of professional football. Long became only the eighth athlete in his position to be honored with inclusion in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, being the 171st player to receive this distinction. This is remarkable, considering that more than 18,000 men had played in the National Football League up to that point, and among all these players, Long had the honor of being recognized with this award.
Howie Long is a true football legend, but his post-retirement career is unusual compared to other former players. Long achieved what many others could not: building a successful second career after leaving football. He made a seamless transition from player to commentator, analyst, and actor in Hollywood.

Was Howie Long the best defensive end to ever play for the Raiders?

[@vjmccormack]

The best in the game😊😊😊

[@bobyost42]

The fact that Howie played between the tackles and not as D End and got 91.5 sacks is astounding! As a lifelong Raider fan (52 years now!) he is my favorite Raider and certainly one of the league's greatest legends.

[@EdBailey-pf1zp]

He could have played longer but decided to hang it up before the game forced him out. He will always be my favorite DE, no matter where Crosby finishes.

[@williamkelly6319]

After reading about his upbring I have the most highest respect for him. It was like my upbringing. He's the reason that I like the Raiders especially when he was playing. I can go back and watch old Raider games. He was really cool and still is and he did a good job raising his sons along with his wife . Good job Howie!

[@billford8912]

[@johnmoran4469]

Howie was a beast. Great football player. Smart man too. He has done very well. I think he could have done more movies if he wanted.

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Is he my favorite Raider, if not who is?....Love Howie. I was thinking, I started watching the Raiders in 1980 until...today and forever, Howie, Plunket, Allen, Christensen (I can go on forever on the L.A Raiders players), who is my favorite Raider? I'll go Howie,. so many to choose from. I'll always love the L.A. Raiders.

[@fredvaldez4681]

love HOWIE LONG

[@user-jn2ur1oc9b]

Howie Long is a Great Man off the field, but when He’s on the playing field He’s definitely a force to be reckoned with, He puts His eyes on the ball and Bam! Bam! He wants the ball too. One of a kind Football Player, always for the Team. They don’t make Them like that anymore, Howie definitely deserves His Enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And He was a Raider His entire Football Career, Go Raiders!

[@al6347]

The only Oakland Raiders jersey I own #75 LONG.

[@dannyespinosa3978]

He did a great move by retiring. He became a sports caster like John Madden, they both excelled at their job🏈

[@markvanderlinden1828]

He did the right thing. Only the classy players go out with something left. The man can do whatever he wants!

[@user-ym5ne3ci1d]

Howie is my favorite football player #75

[@jackkenna696]

H Long #75 was absolutely 💯 one of my favorites in Raiders history

[@stevehodge7942]

Hotie was my second greatest player behind snake been a BIG FAN SINCE 1962 I will die loveing my RAIDERS BABY

[@TheGlass50]

He almost exclusively played on the interior of the line.

[@TheGlass50]

Absolutely no doubt about it

[@brianbachmeier34]

Please do a Terry McDaniel video.

[@chrisjohnson4039]

Howie was the forerunner to Reggie White. I remember Howie's dominance before Reggie came on the scene.

[@brianbachmeier34]

Excellent

[@bryanwalz3455]

Howie could still play today.

[@MiltonZapata-rp1xz]

He made the right decision , he has been a great successful man.

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Howie was the one and only Raider I liked, me being a Steelers fan...

[@jackkenna696]

Wow, that is very cool being a Steelers fan. Respect 💯

[@richardsmith8009]

CLASS ACT!!

[@Backtothe80s564]

yes

[@kevinkhoy7171]

Al Davis Offered Howie to come back & Play 🏈After his HOF induction! Al said Give Me 16 Downs a Game? You'll be the first HO-Famer to ever come back & Play 🏈 After thinking about it for a Minute! Howie said, You're "Nuts!"

[@raiderjohnthemadbomber8666]

Al-ZAY-do. Lyle Al-ZAY- do. (Alzado). The weirdest part is I didn't hear about him sacking Terry even once! He's a good man.

[@ronnyanthon699]

HANDS DOWN THE BADDEST RAIDER ON THE PLANET.

[@christenandersen65]

I love Howie Long. Hell no he shouldn't have retired, it would have postponed his commentary career, but he could have played another 5 years.

[@jasonmorrell2770]

Gregg Townsend is the Raiders all-time sack leader because of Howie Long

[@pablozee9060]

Good o’ bam bam ☠️💀☠️🏴‍☠️

[@xxxxbigrich5752]

Yes he definitely could’ve played, but I don’t have any issues with him retiring. He retired young enough that he was there for his children and wife. Great life and one of the better DT in football. If not for injuries he would’ve gotten over 100 sacks but his career was solid nonetheless.

[@whatsup7253]

Sure, was a Long Story.

[@chrissnape9537]

Lyle AL -Zay- Doh is how you pronounce his name. I am wondering if Lyle introduced Howie to steroids. I am not implying he took steroids, it's just that Lyle is infamous for dying from steroid use and being very honest about it. Lyle showed great courage discussing his steroid use and trying to stop those who might have the same interest. Long gaining 40 lbs over one summer in college is almost unbelievable. Long was a menace to all he played against. He is a Hall of Famer, but his long-lasting second career is just as impressive. Five years is a long time in national sports broadcasting. How long has Howie been on air ? I'm guessing 30+ years. Of course, he made the right decision. He knew much like Travis Kelcie that he had a second career in entertainment. Playing his pro ball in Los Angles, he made a lot of contacts. At 6ft 4 280 lbs with no rolls of fat, there was a place for him. He started in movies but got onto being a NFL studio host. As I mentioned above, his long tenure and his down to earth way of explaining football will no doubt get him into a second Hall of Fame. This time, it may be a star on Hollywood Boulevard.

[@ct9737]

I’m interested to know if Syracuse ever recruited Howie,Only because Syracuse was known to recruit the New England states Heavily;Ie Floyd Little and many others !

[@SteveBerryhill]

Good information. But the pacing and poor pronunciation sounds a lot like A.I.

[@mhaaksma100]

Lyle al zA dO. Not alzadow. I don’t care what google says about how to pronounce his name. Respect man. Good video though.

[@carlajenkins1990]

My favorite Howie quote: "I'm gonna miss you, Lyle."

[@frankbridges2171]

A true raider JUST WIN BABY

[@brianwadell-zl9vb]

Too bad Lyle couldn't be inducted too, there right defensive end 1:48

[@brianwadell-zl9vb]

Lyle got to the back ,the same way Howie got there ,and that's where they met, a lot!

[@jackkenna696]

I abosolutely Love Lyle A... but the starter and all time sack leader is Greg Townsend. GT would need to go before LA
