It's good for a few laughs!
I present to you a list of Ryan Longwell’s comments [with bitter, jaded, and completely just commentary of course] as cataloged by the Pioneer Press in MN.
‘Always show class’
Yes, that’s “irony†right there in the title.

Here’s Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell:
Every town in America has an Applebee’s restaurant. In Green Bay, Applebee’s was about as fancy as you got. When my wife, Sarah, and I would get a baby sitter, a nice date night was Applebee’s. In Minnesota, I’m sure there will be plenty of options before Applebee’s comes into the rotation.
Very classy Ryan, way to rip the city and community that helped make you what you are. Ass.
I’ve always been curious how I would do kicking in a domed stadium. I know for a fact there are kicks I missed at Lambeau that I hit well and guessed wrong with the wind. Or there were kicks when I slipped on the field and missed. I’m curious like everyone else what I can do in the Metrodome. I’m looking forward to being able to swing away and know my foot is going to stick in the ground. And I don’t have to play the wind.
Yes, yes, for God’s sake we know already, YOU WILL BE A KING QUEEN IN A DOME!
Sarah and I both sat in with coach Brad Childress. She came out of the meeting and said: “That is an amazing man. A great, quality guy.†I know he’ll be a great head coach. We were in awe when we left. We felt it was just right.
“Aweâ€Â, give me a break, you suck that ass any harder there not going to find your head.
The first thing we bought after I signed with the Vikings was a boat. We live in Orlando in the offseason, and the community is part of a chain of 12 lakes. We’ve been hemming and hawing about a boat the last year or so. We decided when we signed the contract we’d go ahead and get one. We got a 21-foot boat. It’s less of a luxury boat and more of a hot rod. We can pull the kids in a tube with it.
*insert obvious “Ryan/Boat/Vikings/Naughty stuff on a lake†joke here*
My son, Reece, is 4, and my daughter, Shaye, is 3. You cannot get away with anything. Your kids are constantly observing and picking up what you say and do. You have to watch how you act.
Like talking like a complete ass?
We go out the back gate of the community we live in and we’re 12 minutes from Disney World. We have season passes. The kids love it, and Sarah and I are big kids. We love it.
Which explains his tendency to act like a fucking baby.
I play golf. I’m pretty good at it. I’m plus-1.7, which is on the other side of zero. I’m better than scratch. I won the club championship a couple of weeks ago.
Pat yourself a little harder on the back. Anybody else here that story of poor little Ryan stomping off the course when the Rookie Aaron Rodgers beat his ass at golf? [one of those stories that makes it’s way around the GB area]
I get up every morning at 6 o’clock and work out. I get to the driving range at 7:15, and I’m usually the first guy to tee off. The carts here go 20 miles an hour. I play nine holes in 50 minutes, 18 holes in an hour and 45 minutes. Usually, I’m back in the door about 9:30.
Those ViQueen fans must really be thrilled.
We live in Isleworth. This is where Tiger Woods and Mark O’Meara also live. We’re in the same community. We live off the fourth hole of the golf course.
Name dropper?
There are guys I know who have just become Viking fans. I talked to Lee Janzen. He was born in Minnesota and was pretty happy about the whole thing. It’s hard to get Tiger out of the Raider days. He grew up near them. He’s dyed in the wool.
Can we get a show of hands of how many people switch teams because there favorite KICKER moved. Oh shit, that’s good.
My favorite movie is “Top Gun.†It was the first movie I saw that just kind of wowed me. It was the first movie I can remember seeing that had the great soundtrack and jets, and Kelly McGillis was cute at the time. I was about 11 when it came out. I wanted to be a fighter pilot in the Navy. When we travel on the road, “Top Gun†is in my envelope of DVDs.
Anybody else picture Longwell as Maverick and BJ Sanders as Goose? If that were the case, Maverick would have THROWN Goose out of the cockpit like Longwell threw Sanders under the bus for his missed kicks.
My favorite TV show is “The Office.†I cannot get enough of “The Office.†I think it’s the funniest show I’ve ever seen. I just roll when Dwight starts making some comments. It’s cast so well.
But I love The Office, damn……moving on.
I played soccer and baseball growing up. In seventh grade, I went out for football for the first time. I stayed with baseball and football all the way through my senior year of high school. I played quarterback, kicked and punted.
Very impressive, now go kick the ball Ryan.
If a movie was made about my life, who would I want to play me? I think Tom Cruise.
Oh man, that’s fitting, maybe you two can come out of the closet together.
If I could change anything about my life, I would give myself the ability to sing. You don’t want to hear me sing. I’ve always watched “American Idol.†Simon Cowell would say I would be a karaoke version of a bad pub singer in England.
Then you could entertain all your new friends on your next “boating†adventure.
The best advice I ever got was from my dad. From day one, he told me to always show class. I’ve lived my life that way. There’s “please†and “thank you†and “do the right thing at the right time.â€Â
Ummmmm…….see comment number one. His dad sounds smart, what happened to Ryan?
The worst advice I ever got was: “Why don’t you just kick it in the end zone in December in Lambeau?†Not going to happen. It’s impossible.
lol, yeah, because Ryan couldn’t do it, it’s IMPOSSIBLE.
If I could trade places for a day with any celebrity, I’d probably pick Tiger Woods. I’ve played golf with him. I can hit the ball a long way  290, 295 yards off the tee  and he’s still 60 yards longer than me. I’d like to do what he can do for a day. He has another gear that’s just incredible.
Wow, Ryan is friends with Tiger Woods, we get that Ryan. [you’ve mentioned it enough] I bet that will earn you a lot of respect in the locker room. Oh wait…..nope…..youâ ‚¬â„¢re still a KICKER.
I want my epitaph to say, “Here lies Ryan Longwell, who lived his life with dignity and class.â€Â
This is too easy, I’m not even going to touch that.
