Want to say ‘thank you’ to all who wrote with good wishes on our retirement. Nearly four decades is a long time. It’s been an honor to join you each night. I hope we’ve been of service. Thank you viewers. Thank you KIRO. Thank you Sharon. God bless all.
Our thoughts and prayers with Paul Allen’s family. A great intellect, a remarkable visionary, the best owner in professional sports, and a darn good guitar player. Thank you for all you’ve meant to our Seahawks, this community, the planet. Rest In Peace

On This Date: Four years ago, the Seahawks reached into their bag of tricks to rally back from a 16-0 deficit and advance to the Super Bowl. (via

Yes, thank you Pete!! So much gratitude.. you are an incredible coach and an amazing person. Thank you for helping all of us realize our best selves. It has truly been an honor.
This has been as fun a season as I can remember. It didn’t end in a Super Bowl. But it showed a remarkable resilience.. a never-quit spirit. This team made its blast to broadcast. And now with Seahawks season
#44
in the books, we can’t wait for 45.
Nice job Matthew. Welcome home, even if just for a few days. All 12s so proud of you and seamless transition from great player to exceptional broadcaster.
Other teams can sign somebody else’s problem child. KJ Wright is exactly the player and person Pete C and John S talk about when saying they want to “take care of their own”. It will be an honor to again call his name on Sunday. Congrats KJ.
What a wonderful person and friend. He would light up a room, a tv studio, any community event. Funny, kind and caring. Thank you Steve. Rest in peace friend.
Few outside the VMAC gave these young Seahawks a shot this year. Great leadership, superb coaching, and the support of the 12’s put Seattle in the playoffs.. and a FG away from advancing. Been a joy and an honor broadcast every play this season. Can’t wait to start again.
Can’t think of two great players who are even better people. Thank you
@KamChancellor
and
@DougBaldwinJr
for making our game day so much fun. I’ll miss calling your names.
It's a sad day for the Seattle
@Seahawks
. The franchise's first head coach passed away this morning. Tough. Fair. Funny. A terrific coach. RIP, Jack. >>
This season has been tough for me, earning the NFL Man Of The Year Award couldn’t come at a better time! It’s important we keep balance in our lives and give back to the ones our heart…
Holy Catfish!! What an inspiring choice. Way to go John & Pete.Shaquem G. a Seahawk joining his brother. Can’t wait to talk about this young man on Sundays. Hawks got a legit player. Go Hawks.
From the “prayers really do work” file.. our buddy Dr Dan is doing what he’s always done- beating the odds!
From his son Tyler Doornink: Dan is doing better tonight and made big improvement in his critical battle with Covid. Keep those prayers coming.
I’ll never forget that game! What an amazing comeback. I was there! I was sitting by

is one of the best I’ve been lucky to cover in 23 yrs doing this.
Good on him getting what he wanted from Raiders.
Great on him for building homes for needy in south Seattle, wells for villagers in Kenya, more

HE is my healer! My comforter! My Provider!
Wasn’t supposed to throw for awhile..a few weeks, but by Prayer & Dedication & tremendous help from my Performance Team!
Today was my first day back. One step at a time. Grateful!
always hopped on the postgame show no matter how late it was. He was always available and never wanted to miss anything. I grew up watching John, so it was an honor to work the same broadcast with him. We’ll miss you JC!
‘Time for the next chapter': Seahawks' Kam Chancellor’s playing days are over. He is as inspiring as he is humble. Along with Kenny Easley, he’s the most dynamic and game-changing defender in franchise history. A pleasure broadcast. Good luck my friend

I can’t tell you how excited I am that “the one and only” Joel McHale is join us on the broadcast. He’s a former player, a huge 12, and he’s ok with the tradition: new guy brings the donuts. Looking forward to Saturday. Go Hawks!
Welcome Tony and family. Enjoy our bit of heaven. For those of you that don’t know- Tony Dungy is one of the most successful coaches, natural broadcasters, and honorable men you’ll ever meet. Cheers Tony.
We took the family on an RV trip up to Seattle and found a beatiful spot—Vasa Park Resort. It is very close to the city but in a wonderful lakefront setting. Our family has had an awesome time so far!

For Rus, after tonight’s 38-31 win over the Chiefs.. this game is special. The way the team came together. So many new guys. This happened because of great belief in each other., he said.
All you need to know about Slick is in the last 30 years, no one in this community had been to more charitable events.. has given more of his time. Get well my friend. This world needs you.
Calling all my Prayer Warriors...
Pops suffered a major stroke on Friday and is in stable condition on a long road to recovery...
We are big believers in the power of prayer & positivity...
We ask you to send positive vibes not only to Slick but to all who are suffering✌🏽❤️
I usually don’t waste my time on people like you so I’ll make this quick.. and easy for someone like you to understand. Dan was fully vaccinated!! Period!! End of story. Now get lost!
Wow, that’s very nice. And much appreciated. The real honor was working with a Morgan and Monique and Dave and Chris.. and the whole gang. The best in the business! Thank you guys.
Three old teammates from the 1976 Seahawks. Before the Cardinals-Hawks game at C-Link.. catching up with TE Ron Howard and our QB Jim Zorn. Great men, great friends.
Adding my congrats to my teammate and to one of the best people on the planet. The College Football Hall of Fame was established for men like Jacob Green. A brother, a friend, a force in the community. Way to go 79!
Such a touching story. 💙
On this day in 1989, not only did Steve Largent catch his 100th touchdown, but he gifted

first reported the hire.
What an honor for Sharon and me to meet Vietnam war hero Joe Crecca and his wife Joan on the field before the Seahawks game. Shot down in his fighter jet, spent more than 6 years as POW. Honored today as part of Hawks of Salute to Services. Thanks to women and men in uniform.
Thinking of you
@PaulGAllen
in this journey. Our thoughts and prayers on your full recovery. After all, there are new discoveries to make out in space and under the sea. New secrets of the brain to map. Sports championships to win.
Thanks and good luck. Steve & Sharon
Some personal news: Recently, I learned the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma I battled in 2009 has returned. I’ve begun treatment & my doctors are optimistic that I will see a good result. Appreciate the support I’ve received & count on it as I fight this challenge.
Simply the best! Thank you Essex.. on behalf of a better informed community. And for all of us at KIRO that you ‘taught’ how to be to be a true journalist. Good luck and welcome to the club. 🥳
Bob is one of the all time great guys. A legend and loyal Coug. Always had a kind and helpful word for this young broadcaster. Rest In Peace my friend.
If this is it for
@DougBaldwinJr
, a few words:
1 No player I’ve covered in 35 years got more out of his talent.
2 Great conscience. Good human being. Cares about the human race.
3 Feisty. So competitive.

We had our moments. But I can’t think of a player I have admired more.
