Can you imagine Chris's kids telling someone my grandfather Howie was a certified Bad Ass! I saw a video once of Howie where he said one of the things he was most proud of was being a good dad.
Yo Howie, I'm a lifelong Raiders fan who was a smokejumper up in Missoula. I remember you walking around the base. But I didn't have a chance to meet you. I just want to thank you for coming to see us.
Legendary. Loved watching Howie play in the Colosseum when I was a kid.. now in my mid 40s and a father of two sons. Love watching him interact with his son.
I love Howie Long. Loved watching him and a player translated into commentary. Everything he does is next level and it shows through his boys. Great Pod Chis, keep it up.
My dad was the biggest Philly sports fan. He Always loved your dad and considered him a Philly native (Villanova). He died suddenly 5 years ago and hearing your opening and your dad starting to talk made me cry.
I have to admit, I stepped away from listening to Green Light. Just took a break. I listened to other football podcasts, even baseball podcasts, but never felt the same connection as I had with Green Light. So, coming back, listening to Howie Long on Green Light gave me my mojo back. Chris and his team have got this just right. No disrespect to other pods but Green Light is my go to pod to listen to when I'm driving to work or on longer drives. Thanks guys. Shout out to all the Green Light crew.
Great episode! You both are high quality men! When I was just out of college, mid eighties I was at Larry Krystowiaks place, neighbors with your families place. We were hoping and your Grandfather came over. Wow, Howie Longs Dad! Flathead is beautiful, my grandparents had a place on Blue Bay. Love the MT talk!
I truly enjoyed the father talk and 80s football stories. My brother was high school football star. We saw a lot of Howie L, Lyle A, Terry B and of course Marino. The Lyle stories are great. We also watched all your dads movies. I hope your podcast continues to grow and hopefully we still see Kyle. Maybe Howie Jr. will be on as well.
Heck yeah! You were in my neck of the woods at Balcony Falls! We love that stretch of the James River. Ole Jake and John Phillips are local legends here in Bath County! You need to ask John to take you out on Lake Moomaw next time you’re up his way! Thanks for the pod! #raidernation
I thought, “Chris has Howie on. But 1 1/2 hours? I don’t have that much time. Ah, I’ll watch the first 15 minutes…” An hour and 15 minutes later, “Damn - that went too fast!”
Good job! As funny as it sounds, I'm a Chiefs, 9ers and Raiders fan. Chiefs 1st though lol watched the first superbowl win and all of the 9ers and Raiders, Walsh, Madden and Reid, what a group! By the way, Flathead lake is one of the best spots in the US. Will be there in July. Thanks guys!
Even though I’m a life long Green Bay fan, Howie has always been one of my favorite players! Just an absolute beast! Howie also has some of the greatest stories! I read in a book by the Raiders internist, that when Howie woke up from knee surgery performed by the teams ortho doc, he yelled “My God, Rosenberg operated on me with a broken beer bottle”! Still makes me laugh out loud when I think of it! Great book for any Raiders fan! “Don’t worry it’s just a bruise” by Dr. Huizenga (I think).
anytime you have with your dad on I'm all in! Did you ever want to play for the Raiders growing up? does your younger brother work for the Raiders still as a premium sales consultant?
Chiefs aren't as deep at LB without Willie Gay, but Willie was basically demoted to a rotational role, last year. L'Jarius Sneed is a great player, but they have a great DB corps, and they're all assassins. It won't be exactly the same without him When I look at the team build, they have as good a chance to win the next Super Bowl as they've had in any of the last 5 or 6 years. I don't think they'll win it the same way as they won the last two. I think their long-ball percentages will go up. I think that will help their running game. Even without a big bump in downfield completion percentage, I think they may also run the ball better, because whoever wins the job at LT (Probably Wanya Morris) is going to be more athletic than anybody they've had since Eric Fisher, and Fisher didn't have a top-5 interior line next to him. They might add smash-mouth to their arsenal, this year. The Chiefs stole a march on the rest of the league with the Tyreek Hill trade. Maybe two or three marches. I think they've been very innovative with their team builds. Veach's crew seems to be among the best at identifying deeper positions in the draft and --------- I never liked John Elway, but as a Chiefs fan, I think he was the best QB they faced, year in and year out, for well over a decade. I can't imagine Howie Long socializing with John Elway during their mutual playing days, and neither can Howie. But nowadays, with social media, it's a lot different. --------- Nowadays, I think there are more players who treat the NFL as a year-round job, like Howie did. He came to camp in shape. I wonder how this will evolve. The NFLPA is pushing to change OTAs, maybe even do away with them, entirely. I think the sport, itself, really benefits from the overall fitness of the players, now, compared to the '80s or before. I wonder if that would suffer if they dialed-back some or all of the OTA's.
Great show! Loved the last segment: I'm not as tall or big as you guys, but it does make it a bitch to buy clothes that fit. BTW, Chris. Don't knock that top shelf duty. After 44 years I think it's the only reason my wife keeps me around. I loved it when the Raiders came to town. There was a little men's store in Redondo Beach that catered to athletes w/ lots of Italian clothes. Miss that place. G/Go in Riviera Village. Spent way too much money there in the 80's.
I don't see how this seperate cap is going to work. If you say the cap is 60 mil then every QB is going to want 60 mil. With the increase in games it is going to be hard to field a full team all year. They need to go from 53 players to 64 - 69 players. That will give teams the ability to rest or rehab 11 - 16 players and still have a team on the field. The other thing that needs to be added is a developmental squad. 15 - 20 players on the squad. Can be put on the squad without going through waivers. They have to go on the squad after being drafted. When they transition to the practice squad, then they follow the existing rules. But while they are on the DS they are protected. They can not be poached by other teams. They would have a 2 year limit on the DS. Too many times teams with high draft picks don't have time to get a player developed before they are poached by other teams. Thanks for the video. I love when you have your Dad on the show. Howie was one of my favorite players and loved it when he transitioned to the Sunday shows.
Howie, I feel like I’ve grown up with you. I think even better than Football 🏈 the best thing you have done is meet & marry your wife. This is our 39th year along the Colorado River on the Arizona side. It sure has changed. We own a small slice of Paradise. The Long Family is always welcome. Be safe. Be well. 🌺🏖️🏈💙💃🏻
1. Brady played in an era when defensive players were actually allowed to tackle the QB. In today's game, if the defender cannot gently tackle the QB WHILE HE IS RUNNING WITH THE FOOTBALL, they must abandon pursuit, and allow him to pickup the first down, touchdown, etc. The new kickoff rules should have put touchbacks back to the 15 yard line to throw defenses a bone. It really is hard for me to watch because many of the plays we see a QB make in today's NFL are only because the defenders are forced to allow him to. He really isn't capable of making the play. The hit Brian Cox put on Drew Bledsoe would result in a six game to entire season suspension in today's NFL. Even crazier was in AFC Championship that year when Brady got hurt, and Bledsoe came in to finish the game. Bledsoe is scrambling, he makes it clear to the defender that he is no longer trying to gain yardage and turns to run straight out of bounds, and the defender still drills him. In today's NFL, the QB will pretend to give himself up, so the defender relents on his pursuit of QB, the QB then turns up field to gain 5-25 more yards, pounds his chest and screams like he's hard. It drives me crazy. It really is an insult to guys like Cam Newton, whom refs openly told they would not protect him. Cam Newton was a beast. 2. Jim Harbaugh will make Mahomes' job MUCH harder so long as he is coaching in the AFC West. 3. Watching the 2001-2004 Patriots' defenses. They are historically great, and do not get nearly as much recognition as they deserve.
54:00........Tired of this Greenlaw argument. Chiefs lost their 2nd best pass rusher in the AFC Championship; Charles O. Chiefs were down defenders to. 9ers best LB Fred Warner was guarding Kelce that whole 2nd half. U think Greenlaw would have done better? I doubt it. One player besides elite QBs dont change an outcome of a game. #ChiefsKingdom
YES to NO more Franchise Players....Bill's personal life could be distracting...Girl Dad's are in it for life..Girl's always need their Dad's. Also beware Grandfather's always spoil their Grandaughters to a point where most parents are like who are these people? They did not raise me..Big No on Paying for Pain and Friends..
when i first went to LA if they put ice in my glass i was pissed,they were stealing my coke,i would say to the server no ice,it was cold enough out of the machine.i went to the game at wembley raiders v saints,saints won,i s
Again in my opinion the main problem is they're trying to get to 18 games that shouldn't even went from 16 to 17 and the other problem is that people are getting paid more money just because they're free agents and not their stats
If Dallas pays him again they deserve to lose every game they need to move on from him and start Fresh for God sakes Alex Smith did better in the playoffs

Forever need some added Howie content. Every couple months or so would be awesome.
My dad was the biggest Philly sports fan. He Always loved your dad and considered him a Philly native (Villanova). He died suddenly 5 years ago and hearing your opening and your dad starting to talk made me cry.
LOVE HOWIE,BEAST OF A PLAYER
Love hearing his stories of when he played!! He was one of a kind! Absolute beast! My dream fight Howie vs Lyle that's made for your pay-per-view!!
I have to admit, I stepped away from listening to Green Light. Just took a break. I listened to other football podcasts, even baseball podcasts, but never felt the same connection as I had with Green Light.

Chris and his team have got this just right. No disrespect to other pods but Green Light is my go to pod to listen to when I'm driving to work or on longer drives.
Thanks guys. Shout out to all the Green Light crew.
What an awesome father!! Love seeing how your relationship continues to evolve together❣️🙏
This is the third time I’ve listened to this pod.
Howie‼️ My favorite d-liner/dad talking about my favorite running back‼️💪🏾 Priceless‼️💯

Great show , I’m from N. California and a huge Raiders fan and in the 70’s-80’s I thought the Raiders were the biggest bad ass ‘s around 😊
The view behind howie is amazing! Go raiders ! Great pod!
I love when howies on. So much old school insight I love it
So glad I found this podcast
I truly enjoyed the father talk and 80s football stories. My brother was high school football star. We saw a lot of Howie L, Lyle A, Terry B and of course Marino. The Lyle stories are great. We also watched all your dads movies.
I hope your podcast continues to grow and hopefully we still see Kyle. Maybe Howie Jr. will be on as well.
This is cool. I just watched the Phil Sims pod he has with his son Matt this week. I like these Father Son pods in which both played in the league.
Heck yeah! You were in my neck of the woods at Balcony Falls! We love that stretch of the James River. Ole Jake and John Phillips are local legends here in Bath County! You need to ask John to take you out on Lake Moomaw next time you’re up his way! Thanks for the pod!

Love it when your dad joins the show! Can't wait to see him back on again soon. Fly Eagles Fly
Appreciate the love!

Howdy is such a legend.love your podcast Chris.. Football cowboys all.
Your mom and dad did such an awesome job of raising you boys! Must be quite proud of both!

Great Raiders insights, awesome show! 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great episode!! Love the Neil reference.
Good job! As funny as it sounds, I'm a Chiefs, 9ers and Raiders fan. Chiefs 1st though lol watched the first superbowl win and all of the 9ers and Raiders, Walsh, Madden and Reid, what a group! By the way, Flathead lake is one of the best spots in the US. Will be there in July. Thanks guys!
The Streetz been waitin’ for this one!
My RAIDER HOWIE LONG one of the greats!✊🏿
Happy Anniversary Chris!
Loving this interview. I'd say Brian Bosworth has a cool factor and long time Raider Lester Hayes! Him and his one tone all leather ensembles!
Even though I’m a life long Green Bay fan, Howie has always been one of my favorite players! Just an absolute beast! Howie also has some of the greatest stories! I read in a book by the Raiders internist, that when Howie woke up from knee surgery performed by the teams ortho doc, he yelled “My God, Rosenberg operated on me with a broken beer bottle”!

“Don’t worry it’s just a bruise” by Dr. Huizenga (I think).
I straight up love Howie Long, always have, always will. His kids aint bad either... :)
Didn’t have a “Troll Toll” reference from Howie Long on my bingo card for 2024 🤣
The Art of being an athlete. Professional athletes are a marvel. I ❤ Athletes, I ❤ Astronauts, I ❤️ Humans.
Moving over to flathead lake. Where's some good spots to check out
Any chance of getting Mom on the pod? I'm sure we would get some great stories about all of you!
The Flat Top has Returned
Howie Long is my forever celebrity crush ❤
John Riggins was definitely a cool guy. I loved the Washington Redskin team during that time.
Imagine playing pickup ball against Howie in the 80’s during the nfl offseason😳 good luck guarding him in the low post!!😂
First NFL jersey I ever bought was a Howie Long jersey
RAIIIIDEERRRRRS
On the new kick off rule can the returner run back to the endzone and get an automatic 30 yards
“Old man” by Neil young is a banger. So is “don’t let it bring you down”

Hell yeah

I agree. They need to expand the 53 by at least 5 players. 10 would be much better & the practice squad should probably expand to 18-20 players.

The only way Dallas is going to make the playoff's is putting Jerry Jones on Dancing with Stars and keeping him out of Dallas.....
Howie has to be sick with what the raiders have turned into since 2002. HORRIBLE
The craziest part to me was is how many NFL players and professionals thought the Chiefs's 49ers Super Bowl was gonna end after the first quarter
Again in my opinion the main problem is they're trying to get to 18 games that shouldn't even went from 16 to 17 and the other problem is that people are getting paid more money just because they're free agents and not their stats
