About the Authors

Howie Long is a former Oakland/Los Angeles Raider

defensive end with eight Pro Bowl appearances, a Super

Bowl XVIII victory over the Washington Redskins, and

many other accolades to his credit. His size (6’5”, 275

pounds), combined with his speed, strength, intensity,

durability, and explosive quickness, set him apart. Long

retired from the NFL after the 1993 season.

Long currently is a commentator on the Emmy Award-

winning FOX NFL Sunday program, which is the most-

watched NFL pregame show in America. His previous television broadcasting

credits include ESPN’s Up Close, on which he had a regular segment discussing

current sports issues; HBO’s Inside the NFL; the weekly NFL Diary; NBC’s NFL

Live as a guest studio analyst, and Costas Coast to Coast. He also wrote the

opening chapter to Bo Jackson’s book, Bo Knows Bo.

Long is no stranger to the limelight, as he’s been involved in many commer-

cials and campaigns for Nike, Hanes, Coca-Cola, and Pizza Hut. He also made

his big-screen debut in the action-adventure film Broken Arrow with John

Travolta and Christian Slater and was featured in the 1998 film Firestorm.

At Villanova University, Long was a four-year letterman in football as a defen-

sive lineman. He was All-East and honorable mention All-American as a senior,

and was tabbed the Most Valuable Player in the 1980 Blue-Gray Game. He was

also a champion boxer as an undergraduate, and graduated with a degree in

communications in 1981.

John Czarnecki has reported on the last 19 Super Bowls and has consulted

for NFL Today and currently for FOX NFL Sunday. A former newspaperman

with such dailies as the Los Angeles Herald Examiner and the Dallas Morning

News, Czarnecki is a frequent pro football contributor to Sport and Inside

Sports magazines.
