When Steve Raible pivoted from color analyst to play-by-play in 2004, he enlisted the help of broadcasting legend Verne Lundquist.
I loved this story from the voice of the Seahawks.

Seattle Seahawks play-by-play announcer Steve Raible recently identified his favorite radio call of his career. It was none other than his announcement that the Seahawks won Super Bowl XLVIII.
“12s, they’re bringing the trophy home, your Seahawks — Super Bowl 48 champions!”
Raible told NBC Sports Northwest that it was not the most important play, but the most fun moment.
“That’s the most fun call I’ve ever had. It wasn’t a play, but it was the exclamation to that night,” Raible said. “That was the moment we could all celebrate and boy we sure did.”
Everyone knows what happened the following year, but this was the finest moment in Seahawks’ franchise history and will be remembered in the Emerald City for eternity.
Reliving this moment will hopefully give Seattle fans something positive to recall as everyone patiently waits for the reopening of professional sports and the start of the 2020 NFL regular season.
