Steve Raible Career
Raible, an inaugural member of the Seattle Seahawks’ expansion team, was selected in the second round of the 1976 NFL Draft (59th overall). He played wide receiver for six seasons, from 1976 to 1981, under head coach Jack Patera In his final season, Raible suffered a collapsed lung in the second preseason game in mid-August and did not play again for about two months, until the sixth regular season game. He fell down the depth chart and caught only one pass during the 1981 season. Raible, a receiver for the Seahawks, wore #83 and was jokingly referred to as “the other Steve,” far less celebrated than hall of fame teammate Steve Largent.
Raible spent his off-seasons broadcasting and making public appearances. In June 1982, while preparing for his eighth NFL season, Raible was offered a position as color analyst for the Seahawks radio broadcasts alongside Pete Gross on KIRO radio; he accepted and retired from football at the age of 28. He also worked as a sports reporter for Seattle’s KIRO-TV, where he later shared duties as a news anchor. After 22 seasons as an analyst, Raible became the Seahawks’ principal play-by-play radio announcer (the “Voice of the Seahawks”) in 2004 on flagship stations KIRO-AM 710 ESPN Seattle and KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, where his catchphrases include “Are you kidding me?!” and “Holy catfish!”
Raible also hosted television coverage of the Seafair hydroplane races and Blue Angels airshow, which take place in Seattle every first weekend of August. He shaved his renowned mustache in March 2008, after KIRO-TV switched to high definition news. Raible won five Regional Emmy Awards as a news anchor, including two for “best anchor”. He was a news anchor for KIRO-TV from 1993 to his retirement in 2020.
