Howie Long is one of the most intimidating grandfathers in the world

I think he's up there, but you know, like, Laurinaitis, his dad is, like, one of the road warriors, so... I got my dad in a Mortal Kombat situation over James' dad, but I'm just biased.

This is subjective, but Howie Long is widely regarded as an intimidating presence.

Joey Bosa is just a working man's Chris Long

Joey Bosa, I think is like he's a working man's Chris Long is what I've been saying about him.

Both were high draft picks and very successful defensive ends, making the comparison relatively apt.

Joey Bosa is more gifted than I was as a prospect

I think he's [Joey Bosa] a little bit more gifted than me. But you got to stick to the rules.

Subjective comparison of talent, but Bosa was an elite prospect who lived up to the hype.

I would consider playing on a $1 contract to see if I truly love football

I mean, it'd be an interesting experiment to see if I really love football. [A $1 contract]... I've been doing football drills and I've been in the gym ever since I got cut.

Chris Long never actually played for $1, though he did famously donate his entire season salary to charity later in his career.

I could catch 22 passes in a season as a slot receiver for Tom Brady

I feel like this is like a suggestive knock on one of the greatest slot receivers of all time, Danny Amendola... But I might be able to catch, I'd say, 22 balls.

Chris Long played for the Patriots in 2016 but remained a defensive end and did not record any receptions.

Chris Long would catch 85 passes in a season from Tom Brady

I think you're selling yourself short because you're extremely humble... I'd put you upwards of like 80, 85.

PredictionFootballHotSarcastic
He never switched to receiver and never caught a pass from Brady.

I will not be signing with the Los Angeles Rams

Well, the team that just kicked me out onto the street, you know, was the St. Louis Rams. Now the Los Angeles Rams. I'd probably rather not play there.

Chris Long signed with the Patriots a few days after this interview and never played for the Rams again.

Pardon My Take is more professional than Scott Van Pelt's show

[PMT is more professional]... A lot. I always did that [SVP's] show on my cell phone.

This is purely satirical; PMT was an independent podcast and SVP had a flagship ESPN show.
