THE UNTOLD STORY OF HOWIE LONG| Raiders History 

While creating the video script, I made a mistake that carried over to the narration. Howie Long does not have five Super Bowls; it is actually five ALL-PRO titles. I apologize for the error. Since I don't have a team and handle everything on my own, mistakes can happen. Nevertheless, we will strive to avoid errors in the future.

Raider through and through! Great husband, father, and person! Still looks like he could play:) great commentator, class act!

Everything I’ve ever seen with Howie Long makes him a first class, gentlemen!

Howie Long in my opinion has always been a class act in every capacity. This world needs more Howie Longs. Keep up the good work.

The great RAIDER, loved watching him play. I was sad when he retired; however, best to leave the game before more damage to the body. Thank You for the memories. Howie is my favorite all time football player.

Before Howie came along, most D-linemen weren't expected to be equally as effective against the run and an above average pass rusher at the same time!

A totally great Raider. He wasn't a bad boy or a renegade like a lot of his teammates. One great players of the NFL. He's in the Hall of Fame.and richly deserves it.😂😂😂😂

Howie was a beast. Loved watching the afternoon AFC west games 👍

My favorite memory of Howie playing was chasing Elway around. John was a nimble quick guy for his size and Howie was relentless. Those were some great games.

Howie is a Raiders legend and now continues to show his astute knowledge of the game through his commentary. A true gentleman and forever a Raider.

Howie was a customer at the bank I worked at, whenever he or his wife Diane came in they both were very nice and their sons were very well behaved. It was a pleasure to have them as customers.

A class act, and a great role model for the kids coming up.

One of the greatest men to ever play the game! Also, the nicest guy off the field! Met him in Montana in the early 2000’s! Played for a great team during some of the best years of football!!

The football world considered Al Davis a fool for picking Ray Gay in the first round. Davis knew talent.

Always loved watching Howie Long play, he was a hard-nose player and he gave it his all. He has done a great job since transitioning to TV.

Howie Long is a true Raider. I loved his tenacity and always showing how to get after it.

Tough, classy guy

I feel Howie retired at the right time before his body started to break down . I met Howie after a football game against the Minnesota Vikings he was a nice guy to talk to.

Howie was a stud. He wasn't the biggest tackle but he was really quick and athletic. Putting Howie in the gap, that gap was shutdown, guaranteed.

Howie played at Nova with me cousin's husband. Paul always said he was an up front guy and very likeable

I’ve always been a fan of Howie Long. To me he epitomized how an NFL player should perform and contribute. He’s one of the greatest.

People forget how hard Howie worked to get to the NFL and how he worked even harder once he had established himself there

Lyle Alzahdo?

75 is a class act!

One of my favorite football players, Howie Long deserves father of the year awards and is a wonderful example of what a good person should be.

Howiewood! Class act. Through & through.

Howie is my favorite Raiders

Yeah Howie is the Guy for The Job he should've stayed longer. Lyle Alzado too. I'm a fan of 😊3 more of them which are Marcus Allen, Gene Upshaw and Otis Sistrunk.

One of the best!

Howie has 1 super bowl title.

Howie Long owns the best record ever - the most volley balls launched up to the roof of the 4-story Bunker Hill Elementary School. We played punch ball on the asphalt baseball diamond that was “field” back in the day. Old Charlie the Janitor would have to go retrieve them once a week from the roof. He was a huge, beast of a young man back in the early 70’s. 😉. Gentle giant.

Howie said that if he knew the Raiders were moving back to Oakland in 1995 he would have never retired.

Definitely a True Raider!!! 🙏🏽

A great player! Will always be remembered as a ferocious player in my book!! 10:23

Howie is a beast

1 of the raiders all time great and I ❤️ him.

I'm a Chiefs fan from back in the day. I hated him and respected him.

Remember that Howie was around a bunch of crazy people like John Matuzak, Lyle "Three Mile Lyle" Alzado, Matt Millen, Ted Henricks. Those players around shaped him to be aggressive. He was born to do TV like with NFL Films and even did a TV diary on Inside the NFL. So when he retired and went to Fox pregame, he was a perfect fit

Chicago Raiders fan since about 88, when Willy Gailt left Chicago, so did I, RaiderNation

One of the best

Howie is a Great Raider!

Not mentioned, very generous man.

I would have to say Howie Long was held on about 70% of his past rushes and most of the time they were never called I wish he would’ve kept playing, especially since they returned to Oakland a couple years later, but that was his choice and look at the career he’s had after the NFL.

Awesome player and seems like a good guy.

I was 15 year old football camper at Sonoma State, and a guy in football shorts and tank top was walking across the field, I thought he was a heckuva big guy to be in a highschool camp, he came up to our group smiled and patted us on the shoulders and encouraged us to have a great practice. The biggest guy I had seen in my life...although Bubba Paris came to our end of year pop warner banquet to speak, but I was too young to realize his immense size at the time.

One Of my Favorite defensive lineman

my son Chris played high school football with Howie's son Chris in Charlottesville, VA. He retired with good health and was able to move on with great success in broadcasting

This defense was my idols to strive and perform as during my football days

My opinion on how long and his career and his family he did everything right and it shows

I really appreciate Howie's work as a player and commentator. I think it was the right decision to retire. Unfortunately, considering the hidden risk that is involved with the sport, get out when you have secured your financial future. Having said that, I am a fan of football. I really wish there was a way to preserve the game and significantly reduce the risk of serious long term head injuries.

Howie Long does not have 5 super titles! 08:50

always the right time if it is your decision I'm just a fan he was a force he was a beast he was double teamed all the time I'm a Bears fan I'm from Chicago I live in LA now but even Chicago you heard the Howie Long dominant defense Lineman

So cal let's go RAIDERS 💪☠️

One of the greats

SIMPLY ONE OF THE VERY BEST!!!

Great defensive draft LT, Ronnie Lott and Howie Long, Singletary, Ricky Jackson, and Dexter Manley. Not all on 1st round

Everyone should respect his decision to retire before his talents deteriorated any further!

Biddeford Maine!! Raiders fan since 1968!!!

I was born in 1976. As soon as was old enough to even a faint naive understanding of nfl; when I thought Raiders, I thought Alzado and Long. Later came along an “ok player” named Bo. Long=Raider/Raider=Long. #tuff #grit #ferocious.

Honolulu Hawaii. Howie Long is LEGIT RAIDER LEGEND!

Great player, but I didn't learn too much that wasn't told already.

Simply put one of the best D line men ever

Great guy and great player!

My favorite wrecking crew man,destroying QBs and collapsing offensive schemes...

Excellent career path

Howie Long is always a Raider.

He was a bad man on the football field! He could change the game with this Play an intensity! It's just a really Cool down To earth person!

He was a great Raider

Howie long was a good player👍👍

You need to get your facts straight dude... Howie only has one super bowl ring not five...

John Hannah of the Patriots said that Joe Klecko and Howie Long were the best defensive lineman he ever faced.

As a kid I had a life sized cardboard cutout of Howie. He was at the end of our hallway. I'd come home late at night and I'd head down the hallway to my bedroom and he'd scare the crap out of me!!

I THINK IT WAS GOOD FOR HIM TO RETIRE AND AVOID FURTHER INJURIES. HE HAD A BRILLIANT CAREER BEING ONE OF THE BEST RAIDERS PLAYER...I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT HIS ACTING BUT I DID WATCH HIM IN THE NFL WITH THE REST OF THE NFL CREW "BUDD LIGHT TASTE GREAT!!!. IT'S LESS FILLING!!!!

Greatest raider

Many quarterbacks knew long well, they also knew if long was within field, to exit pocket, as quickly as possible, nearly as a rocket. Woodson legacy cornerback, many quarterbacks knew him well, they also knew that best to leave pocket, opposite side woodson the rocket.

Lake Wales, FL

He was a DE

epic human being!

I was Howie Long for Halloween when I was a kid 🙂🏴‍☠️☠️🏴‍☠️☠️

Howie was the reason I wanted to play football.

Phoenix AZ

Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania

for being Raiders history channel you should have done better research or proof read your script. Howie didn't win 5 super Bowl.

I didn’t know he had 5 Rings

Where does Howie long have 5 super bowl titles? See mark 8:51 in the video.

He could be the American Shwatzanager

Hey from northern Illinois 💀💀💣

Howie Jr. never played in the NFL.

Go Gauchos! IYKYK

Thats my Homie..

HEY! Where the hell did you learn the pronunciation of Alzado?? It’s pronounced “AL-ZAY-DO!!!” How do I know? He was a friend and schoolmate at Yankton College.

I liked Howie as a player, despite hating the Raiders forever, but when he became that crew-cut commentator, I was out. Terry Bradshaw and Dandy Don Meredith might have been ridiculous buffoons when given a microphone, but they were at least amusing. Howie not so much.

How does a Tight End get 99 tackles ?

Nice video, what’s a kilometer?😂

Howie was right to retire! The money he was paid to play is nothing compared to what today’s players earn!

5 Super Blow wins ?

Bubba Baker had 131 career Sacks,Howe Long 84, and Long is in the Hall of Fame and Bubba Baker is not, that is a bunch of baloney!

5 super bowl titles?

Howie was him

One of my favorite Raiders of all time..
