 Howie Long's Anti-Broncos Bias • 4Corners's Blog - FOX Sports Blogs
Howie in his pre-game comments about Tom Nalen's questionable block last week on Olshansky that drew a $25,000.00 fine from league officials, characterized Nalen's block as being an example of how the entire Denver offensive line plays.
Howie stated that Nalen's block was a "microcosm" of the entire way the O line plays.
Howie must be forgetting his own days as a player and former teammates and their decades long reputation in Oakland, or is it that he is just a former player who's former team is in the cellar of the NFL at the moment?
