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.

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!

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.

I think Howie Long retired at the perfect time. After the 93 season the Raiders were a dysfunctional mess until John Gruden arrived in 98. I remember Howie Long saying in an interview shortly after he retired that "he didn't want to walk funny". I think that was in relation to how many surgeries he probably went through.

Great, great player - underrated now by some it seems. At his peak in the mid 1980’s he was the best all round defensive lineman in the NFL by a mile.

[dannyespinosa]

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