I would argue M. Fitzpatrick is the DPOY all day! He turned the Steelers season completely around. But I see your argument in a way bc the Steelers defensive core helped. I mean when you have T.J.Watt, D. Bush J. Hayden the list goes on. Yeah that allowed M. Fitzpatrick to play free/loose but he was the piece they were missing! And to me that makes him the MVP of the Steelers as well as the league. I'm a Raiders Fan and when Johnathan Abram went down for the season after Gm1.. Then hear the Dolphins are shopping M. Fitzpatrick for a 1rst which actually turned out to be a 1rst, 4th & 6th I believe. But anyways I wanted the Raiders to trade for him bc I knew if nothing else we could get that same value back out of him later. Plus he's on a steal of a contract being the Dolphins had already paid him most of the money. And last but not least Derek Carr is extremely talented! He has played in every offense their is since being Drafted.🤣 He's had 4 different head coaches in 6 seasons one being an interim Head Coach. But they should have kept Amari Cooper or need to find another 1. He needs that guy, the guy that can make a play when they need it and consistently. Tyrell Williams isn't a Posession Receiver hes a deep threat #2WR Crabtree was a Posession WR. Amari was a #1 WR that always has huge games but would disappear quite a few games a year. I think Cooper got frustrated with Oakland once they brought in Jared Cook TBH. Amari was getting 100+ balls in college, he was their MJ. But once Cook came and having Crab he wasn't seeing the ball no where near as much. I think he was frustrated, bored, and became uninterested. I wish the Raiders never signed Cook bc of that reason alone.
That was a fantastic interview. I could've listened to more of Howie's stories from the questions that were asked for easily another hour. Chris asked a bunch of things that you would ask Howie if you were sitting at a bar having a few drinks with him. Chris, if you're reading this and the next time you have your Dad on, I would love to get his thoughts on those 80's/early 90's teams he played on. As a huge Raider fan, I would love to hear Howie's thoughts on those Raider teams that were loaded with talent, but suffered at the QB position after Plunkett retired. Did he get frustrated with the likes of Marc Wilson or Jay Schroeder at the helm and does he feel he and his team should’ve had a couple more titles? That ‘85 team that was destined to meet the Bears, but didn't because of lackluster QB play along with those other years. Also if that story was true about the NFL nixing the trade the Raiders supposedly had made for Elway, that changed everything if true. The Raiders would've been a dynasty if that ever happened. Again, great interview Chris.
Nice lil interview with your dad, Chris. Been going to Oakland games with my dad - since '76, & always traveled to LA when I could. Howie will always be an iconic Raider, & should have made the all 100 team IMO. Love hearing some of the lesser or unknown anecdotes. All the best, gentlemen. Cheers
Oh, & Devante Parker just destroyed Gilmore this week....and that division doesn't deserve any POY candidates....ESPECIALLY not on that Pats defense. Titans will knock em out, and hopefully this will be curtains for NE for awhile. Bet
I was introduced to NFL Football as a kid in 1987 and by 1988 I committed to being a Raiders fan like my crazy uncle Joe. Howie Long was my favorite defense player growing up, #75 was my second Raiders Jersey I ever owned. What a great great player Howie Long was! COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE! JUST WIN BABY! RAIDER NATION FOR LIFE!
I'm a Raider die-hard and remember howie well coming into the league as a rookie, and he was a dominant force from day one, just like to add my father and I also shared a time in my life where ever we were people thought we was brother s and not father and son R. I. P. Dad and I enjoyed the hour sitting back and watching you and Chris kicking it merry Christmas and happy New year Big boy Howie Long a class pal and father 6'5 270 big 75 RNFL!!
When Howie played he would get this expression on his face and they would call it “Howie Time” and usually next play he would get a sack or a TFL, it was amazing!!!
#Shared! 4:45 a.m. on Christmas Eve, and I just got done with this. Damn, y'all got me in the feels! Thanks so much for this interview! Just took me back to spending time with my Dad, talking football, and how his Niners were doing. Being the lone Raider fan in my immediate family, I'm sure he questioned if he brought the right kid home from the hospital. I lost him 18 years ago last Friday to cancer, and I so felt like we were watching this together. Thanks y'all! Seriously! This has to be my favorite podcast yet. Although I'm sure that'll change next week. Y'all are seriously making GREAT content! Thank you, thank you, thank you, and Merry Christmas!
Thank you for sharing your story with us. Glad you enjoyed the episode and that it brought back the memories with your Father. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Chris you and your dad sound like twins. Your Dad is one of my all-time favorite Raiders and I have been a Raiders fan since 1975 (Lifelong). He is on my personal Pantheon of great Raiders and I still wear #75 to the games. RN4L
Howie Long!!!! One of the Best Raider Legends!!! One of my Favorites that's for sure....Howie #75 is one of the top selling jerseys still in the NFL and he's been retired for over 20 plus years... Howie's boys, Chris, and Kyle Long also Pro Football Players... Only wished that they could have played for the Raiders as well.... Great Interview Chris... I could hear your Dad talk about Raider Stories All Day!!! Keep them coming... RN4L!!!!! Just Win Baby!!!!
great interview ii can never hear enough old raider storys esp Al Davis storys,and the great Howie Long tell them. Hes also very well informed and understands why MD had to go to Vegas.
I was 10 years old when Howie retired and I remember crying when I found out. What a great person, I was behind him at a store in Bigfork Montana and wanted to say hi so bad. I wish I would have. #Shared
I am a natural Packers fan, but when I was learning the sport, I was a Marcus Allen, Bo Jackson, and Howie Long fan. This show was fun. I've heard you in another podcast(honestly can't think of who it is...but listen to it at work). Good stuff, makes the day go by faster.
This is so awesome!!! I'm die hard Raiders and always loved your dad. Plus, I'm a Montana boy and love that he lives here. Hope you guys enjoy the lake and all your time here
Great podcast!! Could listen to HL all day long telling his stories. Watched him and Bo play the Vikings years ago. Best part was watching HL doing his warm ups 60 feet away.
Don't feel bad for Oakland. As a lifelong Oakland Raiders fan, born and raised, as long as the City didn't spend one more tax dollar, I'm fine with them leaving. We still owe the Raiders money, when they returned from L.A. The league is beyond greedy. They should be building stadiums for the cities who helped them achieve the astronomical revenue they bring in currently. Granted, the city wouldnt receive the revenue that is generated, but, teams won't lose their fan bases they've grown organically. Watching the Raiders vs. the Chargers was disheartening to see that stadium in a sea of Black&Silver, had to make the Chargers players feel some type of way. Quick Lyle Alzado story... when the Raiders were going to play the Eagles in the Superbowl, me and my crew cut school to go to Oakland International to see the team off. So they have the airport cordoned off, picture red carpet style, anyway, they have it where the fans are on both sides and the team walks through us heading towards their gate. Lyle Alzado comes through on my side so I stick my hand out to shake my hand, and, unbeknownst to me my buddy, Gary Walker, has his hand out as well. This man's hands were so large that he shook both our hands at the same time and busted open my friends stitches, he had recently received! One of the most notorious legends of the NFL.
I wished they would have stayed but no visiting team or casual raider fan wants to go to Oakland. Ppl steal stuff in the northern lott, it's the city's fault not Davis.
Another one of Al’s best picks- out of Villanova!!! When he was drafted nobody knew he was gonna be the beast he turned out to be!!! One of my favorite players from those 80’s and early 90’s teams !!!! Always wanted one of his boys to make it to our team- damn never happened!!!
Howie was my favorite player growing up. I even bugged my dad to take me to see his movie when it came out, I think it was called firestorm? He took me the first week it came out, thank God for great Dads cause I don't think it was in theaters long.
What a Great video and Great time watching the Great Howie Long and his son talking football and talking life. Thank You Both. #HowieLong #ChrisLong #OaklandRaiders #NFL #HallOfFame #Greats #Memories #Reminiscing #Shared
What a blessing the stories how they're told and the setting Howie Long is an absolute linchpin in Raider history.. wow I'm grateful... Happy New Year. God bless us all
Got so amped watching this. I think Carr's great for this team, he executes Gruden's WCO well. He needs better WR targets on the outside to take pressure off Renfrow/Waller/Moreau #RN4L
People get so caught up watching Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, and Aaron Rogers but fail to realize the system and process it takes. QBs don't grow on trees, DC is resilient for having to learn different systems and having so many WRs come and go through the revolving door. I completely agree with you, Josh Jacobs is also going to help take pressure off of Carr with his running game once again in 2020. RN4L!
The relationship they have is so awesome. It reminds me of my father and I, after I pulled my head out of my ass! Had to send him the video. He always thought very highly of Howie and that means alot because my father is a great man. Also, I always wished Chris would have played for the Raiders. #Shared
Damn, you called the DPOY! Please tell me you put something on that. 😂 On another note, would your Dad consider speaking on Coach Flores's behalf for next year's HOF induction. Would have loved for more than the two coaches that went in this year. Thanks again for a great episode.
Howie is probably my all time favorite football player and I think he would have been even if I wasn't a Raider fan. Having lived in New England my whole life I always hoped the Pats would do well and was happy to see Chris in a Patriots uniform even if only for a year...though silver and black would've looked better. When Chris won the Walter Payton award and I saw the work his foundation does I was more impressed by that than the play on the field, super bowl rings, etc. I really respect people that think of others and use their platform to do what they can to help. Way to go.
Regarding the NFL Hall of Fame, I don't use that as criteria for a great performer on or off the field. Just knowing what a player brought to the game and gave, tells me what I need to know. There are a number of players from the Raiders (and others) that gave above and beyond. I wish I personally knew Al Davis. As a fan, I can't comprehend all that he was. I find it hard to believe anyone has ever known as much about the game as he did. You can do far more great things than anyone can do, but it doesn't mean you're the nicest guy in town. That I understand. This was enjoyable to listen to. Thanks - ChrisG
Never got to see how play Bc born in 00 but I grew up w my pops stories on the 70’s-80’s raiders and hearing Bowie’s story on Alazado and Howie’s experience In Oak was just fucking dope to listen too
Saw these guys at Sabo's bar in Big Fork Montana circa 1995. Slow summer weekday lunchtime. Chris was probably about 6 or 7 at the time. Was sitting a couple tables away. Howie orders "four chicken sandwiches hold the mayo". He inhaled them and proceeded to helping the young ones finish their pizza.
Chris Carson Wentz might call you about the racoons! LOL it was cool to see you and your Dad sitting down to chat. Sure miss you on the Eagles, I think the work you do with charities is outstanding!
I like the guy but he's not worth the money he's making if he's just going to be check down king. I miss the guy that looked like a young Brett Favre... like a gunslinger. I don't know if it's Grudens system or ghosts in the pocket but he hasn't looked like a 20 mil franchise QB.
RN4L! This organization has such great history and Howie seems like an awesome dude. Love or hate Carr we all just wanna see this team win, so I'm glad we're not bickering in these comments haha 😁
Just some local cville greats. Loved being around you guys at good old McIntire park baseball. Miss seeing you out there putting the L up after a big sack.
As a day 1 Raiders fan I can listen to OG draft stories from one of the all time GOATS all day long. Stop caring about Derek Carr about 10 minutes in. Great podcast.
You were right about this year’s Raiders: No expectations, to extreme expectations; they only expected to win what four games. Look at all injuries, dropped passes, etc. I know no one cares about excuses, but I know Derek hods this team together.
Thanks for giving insight into Oakland stadium situation. So sad to give up home field because our owner is broke. 16 road games per year means death for Raider Nation. Oakland will always stay loyal fuck mark Davis
I remember reading a story about Howie Long working at a bar or liquor store & he could pick up two full 16 gallon kegs at once, balanced on his shoulders to load them into a customer's truck. Is this story true, Chris?

Can I donate to a kid at shriners hospital.....?
I just found about this channel. I really like this video. I know that Howie has stories for days! Subscribed immediately and #shared this video.
Howie starts talking about Derek Carr at 40:51. You're welcome.
Martin Brown thank you
Thank you
THANK YOU
Who cares about that? I wanna hear him talk about actual good players, like Art Shell and Mike Webster.
Thank you
I love Howie Long, he and Bo Jackson made me a Raiders fan in the 80s. Been a huge fan ever since.
Thank you!
Howie has a ton of great story’s to tell due to the unbelievable life he has lived. Raider nation #1!
Thank you!
Damn Howie don't age , man looks good for his age.
Thank you!
Silver and Black don't crack!
One of my all time favorite Raiders Howie will forever be legendary
Howie looks like he can still take that deal if only playing 3rd down and rushing the passer... absolute legend
Thanks for the feedback and your support.
@@GreenLightPodcast One of the all time Howie quotes: "I came from Villanova where there's a priest on every floor to the Oakland Raiders locker room"
he was great when he could stay onsides
Papa Long, I am grateful for those references to Martin, Branch, Plunkett and Flores, all of them belong in the hall of fame.
Thank you.
Mayock...the greatest 1st year a GM has ever had!
Agreed.

Howie Long was one of the reasons why I chose the Raiders as my team when the NFL first broke in the UK.
Nice lil interview with your dad, Chris. Been going to Oakland games with my dad - since '76, & always traveled to LA when I could. Howie will always be an iconic Raider, & should have made the all 100 team IMO. Love hearing some of the lesser or unknown anecdotes. All the best, gentlemen. Cheers

Thank you for all the great Raider memories and being a great dad Howie.
Thank you!
Nothing cooler then a kid talking to their dad when they are older. Hope to see more of this in the future.
Thank you. More of Howie is definitely in the works.
My favorite player love you howie it was an honor to get to watch you play..chris really wanted you to be a raider ...Go Raiders

Thank you. Appreciate it. All the best to you as well.

Love howie one of my favorite Raiders of all time a true legend!
Thank you!
I really enjoyed those stories of the old raiders. Three mile lyal. Your dad has some awesome perspective.
Don't feel bad for Oakland. As a lifelong Oakland Raiders fan, born and raised, as long as the City didn't spend one more tax dollar, I'm fine with them leaving. We still owe the Raiders money, when they returned from L.A. The league is beyond greedy. They should be building stadiums for the cities who helped them achieve the astronomical revenue they bring in currently. Granted, the city wouldnt receive the revenue that is generated, but, teams won't lose their fan bases they've grown organically. Watching the Raiders vs. the Chargers was disheartening to see that stadium in a sea of Black&Silver, had to make the Chargers players feel some type of way.
Quick Lyle Alzado story... when the Raiders were going to play the Eagles in the Superbowl, me and my crew cut school to go to Oakland International to see the team off. So they have the airport cordoned off, picture red carpet style, anyway, they have it where the fans are on both sides and the team walks through us heading towards their gate. Lyle Alzado comes through on my side so I stick my hand out to shake my hand, and, unbeknownst to me my buddy, Gary Walker, has his hand out as well. This man's hands were so large that he shook both our hands at the same time and busted open my friends stitches, he had recently received! One of the most notorious legends of the NFL.
I wished they would have stayed but no visiting team or casual raider fan wants to go to Oakland. Ppl steal stuff in the northern lott, it's the city's fault not Davis.
Never shake hands with a football player. I think they get demented pleasure from busting ordinary people's knuckles.
Thanks for watching.
@@chugnorris8516 what kind of crack u smokin dog? nothing will ever come close to those bart rides to and from the game .
Another one of Al’s best picks- out of Villanova!!! When he was drafted nobody knew he was gonna be the beast he turned out to be!!! One of my favorite players from those 80’s and early 90’s teams !!!! Always wanted one of his boys to make it to our team- damn never happened!!!
Howie was my favorite player growing up. I even bugged my dad to take me to see his movie when it came out, I think it was called firestorm? He took me the first week it came out, thank God for great Dads cause I don't think it was in theaters long.

Awesome. Thank you.
Great podcast! I could listen to you and your dad share football/life/family stories all day.
Thank you!
i already knew Howie was a G... but now that i know he roomed with Alzado for a year, he gets even more respect.
What a blessing the stories how they're told and the setting Howie Long is an absolute linchpin in Raider history.. wow I'm grateful... Happy New Year.
God bless us all
Thank you! Happy New Year.
Got so amped watching this. I think Carr's great for this team, he executes Gruden's WCO well. He needs better WR targets on the outside to take pressure off Renfrow/Waller/Moreau #RN4L

Amazing interview. Enjoyed the new platform. Good luck to the water boys this coming year
Thank you
Love how Howie Long use to sign autographs after the games at da L.A. coliseum for da kids when I was a kid he signed my L.A. Raiders hat
Thank you for your support!
Howie is probably my all time favorite football player and I think he would have been even if I wasn't a Raider fan.

Awesome stories from Howie! Da Raida's had the classic characters!! What a team!!
Thank you!
Never got to see how play Bc born in 00 but I grew up w my pops stories on the 70’s-80’s raiders and hearing Bowie’s story on Alazado and Howie’s experience In Oak was just fucking dope to listen too
Howie* , Howie* jfc fuck these typos
Thank you.
Follow in your dad's footsteps and play for the Raiders.
Sincerely a Raiders fan.
Cedrick Hardman was a great guy. The nicest player I have ever met.
Thanks for watching.

Chris Carson Wentz might call you about the racoons! LOL it was cool to see you and your Dad sitting down to chat. Sure miss you on the Eagles, I think the work you do with charities is outstanding!
I want Carr to b a Raider 4 life
I like the guy but he's not worth the money he's making if he's just going to be check down king. I miss the guy that looked like a young Brett Favre... like a gunslinger. I don't know if it's Grudens system or ghosts in the pocket but he hasn't looked like a 20 mil franchise QB.
DoppelCooper wait till they get the receivers that can get down field, Mayock and Gruden have both said it’s a area that needs to be addressed.
DoppelCooper nah most likely will renew a contract for way less.Perhaps 10 mil a year?
He will if he does a brady deal which he should he got 100 mil in the bank already
He ain’t worth $10 mill.

RN4L! This organization has such great history and Howie seems like an awesome dude.
Love or hate Carr we all just wanna see this team win, so I'm glad we're not bickering in these comments haha 😁
Just some local cville greats. Loved being around you guys at good old McIntire park baseball. Miss seeing you out there putting the L up after a big sack.

As a day 1 Raiders fan I can listen to OG draft stories from one of the all time GOATS all day long. Stop caring about Derek Carr about 10 minutes in. Great podcast.
Merry Christmas and go Raiders!
Merry Christmas to you as well. Thank you!
#shared. Great stuff! What a great Raider and a great family man.

You should of asked Howie Long how he felt about almost being traded to the Bears for the John Elway draft pick in 1983.
Bears wanted him badly ..

Good catch.

Thanks.
Legend! Loved hearing the stories
Love Howie Long!! Always a Raiders great!!
Thank you!
Howie Greatest Raider of all time .....
You were right about this year’s Raiders: No expectations, to extreme expectations; they only expected to win what four games. Look at all injuries, dropped passes, etc. I know no one cares about excuses, but I know Derek hods this team together.
Really I don’t think the raiders or any nfl organization expect to win 4 games
Thank you for watching!
Ha!ha!
Broken ribs from # 78 the Great Art shell.

Thanks for giving insight into Oakland stadium situation. So sad to give up home field because our owner is broke. 16 road games per year means death for Raider Nation. Oakland will always stay loyal fuck mark Davis
Thanks for watching.
Great show only thing missing is the six pack cold
Ha. We will work on that.
Howie "I desperately wanted to be a Pittsburgh Steeler" ........My Raider heart is broken.
Good show man ! New subscriber 👍
Thanks for the sub.
More Howie! One question from interview though, who did Howie fight on his team that he obviously got the better of?
Thank you!
I remember reading a story about Howie Long working at a bar or liquor store & he could pick up two full 16 gallon kegs at once, balanced on his shoulders to load them into a customer's truck. Is this story true, Chris?
The keg story may be from when Howie worked at The Blue Blazer in Bala Cynwyd for 2 years while at Villanova. Many VU football players worked there.
