This was an incredible show, glad I recorded it and will watch again.

Except Largent walks the walk. Griffey is a prima ballerina.
I've already watched it twice. Well worth the second viewing Rob.Largent80":14wj8qj9 said:This was an incredible show, glad I recorded it and will watch again.
Not to be a Richard here, but this statement tells me you don't understand offensive line play well at all. Walter Jones was even more dominant at LT than Largent was at WR. Not by much, but he was.seahawksny":14wj8qj9 said:A seattle icon

Wow. I'm not even a Mariners fan, but you'd better be careful with those kinds of words about Griffey Jr.

Big walt was our best player, but he's an olinemen, hard to reach icon status. Tez was a beast but his teams sucked. Largent was loved locally, but I don't know how much he was appreciated nationally.
If you're looking for a seahawk icon I think it might be Shawn Alexander, marshawn lynch or Russell Wilson.

Largent was loved nationally, if you were able to watch games when he played most Media were amazed at his ability to get open and make the catches he made as well as take the hits he took and get back up. He was lauded for his hands and his route running. He broke records and set the standard that many receivers can only hope to achieve, this from a guy that Houston didn't want and said was to slow.
Any receiver now days has only to look at Largent to see what excellent in preparation and honing your craft can make you stand out and above the competition. He did all that while being about as low key as you could get, he was a guy that acted like he had been there before from day one. His numbers did his talking. Unless your name was Mike Harden.

Don't disagree with anything you said, but still don't think he's a Seattle sports icon. To be an icon, in my opinion, you need to transcend the game. I dont think Susie house wife living in Santa Fe would have a clue who Steve largent is. All depends on what you think an icon is I guess. I'd definatly put largent on the seahawks mt Rushmore, but I don't think he's our best known or most popular player.

Prima ballerina that hit 500 home runs and the reason the Mariners are in seattle not Tampa Bay
