Everyone knows that good kids start from good parents. With such a father, Chris Long had no choice – he had to become successful. Howie was born in Charlestown, Boston. He shared in his interview that he grew up in tough conditions, when most of kids smoked, used drugs and participated in robberies. Soon Howie’s parents moved to Milford, MA, where he attended a high school. At a high school Howie started to play football. He practiced other kinds of sports too.
Howard Matthew Moses Long (the born name of Chris’s Long dad) continued his sports career during his years at Villanova University. In spite of the fact, that the talented young man got degree in communication technologies, he decided to go another way and make football the main business in his life. Howard was drafted in 1981 by the Oakland Raiders. He performed for the team during long 13 years.
In fact, Howard put 100% of efforts on the field. Chris Long was a very emotional player. According to his fans memories, he was crying after unsuccessful game against Chicago Bears in 1985.
Having gained a number of awards, including a Super Bowl, Howard decided to retire. An incredibly handsome man, he changed the focus of his career and turned into an actor and TV host. He made cameo appearance in popular TV series “Beverly Hills, 90210”, acted in “Broken Arrow” and “Malcolm in the Middle”. Currently he serves as sports analyst at Fox channel.
Although Diane Addonizio went into the limelight after her marriage to an American football star Howie Long, it doesn’t mean, that her life hadn’t been interesting before this event.
Chris Long mother was born in Red Bank, NJ. She attended a high school there and after that studied law in the college. She got her diploma, so Chris Long mom is a lawyer by profession. But Diane didn’t work after her marriage, so she has no practice in her profession.
On June, 27 in 1982 Diane Addonizio tied a knot with her boyfriend of 3 years, an NFL player Howie Long. He was a debutant at that time, so it’s possible to say, that he climbed a success ladder, taking his beautiful wife by hand.
Howard and Diane have three sons. Each of them is connected with NFL, but just two of them are players.
