Your biggest moment in Seattle sports?

[PackersNation2025]

I remember that Monday night Green Bay game. I was so excited that they beat Green Bay. I remember our wide receiver Mayes (I believe we got from Green Bay) scoring a touchdown and doing a fake Lambeau leap. That was one of the first times I actually felt we had a decent team since the mid 80s.

Favre threw 4 picks in that game. Handed the Seahawks the game. Surprised that is your "biggest moment" for Packers vs. Seahawks. I would think the 2014 NFC Champ game. That's another game the Pack handed to the Seahawks. Both games, the better team lost.

Packers are 16-9 all-time vs. Seattle.

SB 48 followed closely by the 1979 NBA Championship.

As far as being an in person witness, I was in the stands on the night Steve Largent broke the record for the most consecutive games with at least one reception was fantastic. It was an MNF game back when MNF was huge. I also got to see the Kingdome imploded from the 44th floor of the Wells Fargo building. I was also in the stands when Largent laid out Mike Harden, immediately recognizing the significance (payback is a bitch!)

So much for your "unbiased" perspective.

Favre threw 4 picks, lost two fumbles. Dorsey Levens lost a fumble. The Packers had 10 penalties and had a player thrown out because he was so frustrated with Cortez Kennedy having his way with him (Tez had three sacks and a FF). Seattle blocked a field goal and scored on the return. It wasn't just Favre, the whole Packers team got their butts handed to them.

As for 2014....Kearse tried to hand the game to the Packers. Most of the interceptions that Russell threw bounced off his hands. The Packers' inability to seal the game despite having it handed to them shows who the better team was.

The reason the game is played is to find out who the better team is. Claiming the better team lost is simply copium.

My personal highlight in Seattle but not involving any Seattle teams is the '84 Final Four. Olajuwon, Ewing, Rick Carlisle, Bowie, Turpin, Kenny "Sky" Walker. We took a 28 min flight from PDX and sat in the rafters. I barely had time to look through an issue of SI I picked up at the airport.
Best part of the weekend was getting Michael Jordan's autograph.
Second best was hanging out in our hotel lobby talking to the nicest college basketball player I had met. I knew he looked familiar, I just couldn't figure out where. When I asked him where I might have seen him, he showed me a few pages long article about him in the same SI I had read on the airplane. His name was Stevie Burtt. Life full of deaths all around him and how he persevered. He was doing homework, but stopped and talked to me for a long time. I thought that was the coolest thing ever.

So this might not be a big Seattle sports moment but it was a pga golf tournament in Bellevue my dad took me too when I was 17. We parked the car in the parking lot which was right in front of the clubhouse, Payne Stewart was standing on the front steps. I ran up to him but before I could get one foot on the steps the security guards grabbed me but Payne Stewart stopped them and took my hat and signed it. He told me to have fun. I got a lot of autographs on that hat that day including Craig Stadler and Ernie Els

Cal Raleigh winning the hoe run derby jumped up my list

Wait, I thought it was Earl Thomas and his brother who won the hoe run derby, and I recall there was something about a gun and a wife involved?

Was that what Earl meant when he flipped off the crowd while being wheeled out on a stretcher, revealing his future hoe run plans?

Well, time for a beer run, not enough cash for a hoe run, not with the golddiggers these days.

As a middle schooler in Olympia, my dad's college student housemate took me to a Sonics vs. Houston game. Olajuwon was so amazing, even from the nosebleed seats in the old Seattle Center Coliseum. Also got to see Bob McAdoo light up the Sonics for 52 points that same season. IIRC Sonics won that game anyway over the Buffalo Braves.

Everything pales in comparison to hoisting the lombardi of course. 1995 was a fun year to be a Seattle sports fan with the M's and Sonics, getting close and losing in classic Seattle style at the time, so classic. But fun, helped stoke the fervor of the Seattle sports fan we enjoy today, or that might bubble back up to what it was this year with the Seahawks.
