With Howie Long going to watch his sons, Chris and Kyle, play in Sunday’s Bears-Rams game, it seems appropriate to recall how dad looked as a player. Actually, not that much different.

Dad definitely could play, eventually making his way to the Hall of Fame.

Now he’s the proud papa of two pretty good NFL players. While listening to WSCR-AM 670 in Chicago yesterday, Matt Spiegel and Lawrence Holmes were talking about an over-under for the number of shots of Long during Fox’s telecast of the game.

They put the number at 4.5.

What’s your bet?
