Remembering Kurt Russell’s Impactful Seahawks Introduction
During Super Bowl XLVIII, eleven years ago when the Seahawks last appeared at the Super Bowl against the Patriots, actor Kurt Russell delivered a memorable and spirited introduction, embodying the team spirit with intensity. Reflecting on that moment, Russell said,
“Hey, how about these ball hawks from the Pacific Northwest?,” Kurt Russell
“Oh, I get it. Some might call them overconfident, a little bit full of themselves, but is it bragging if you back it up? Let’s see. You hit them, they hit you harder. You get in their face, they get right back in yours. Basically, anything you do, they’ll do better … These fellas have meant business all season long. A hit first, ask questions later, defense. A beast moves the earth when he runs and a quarterback destined for this spotlight. So what do you say, Seattle? That other team may be a mile high, but we know you guys crank it all the way to 12.” Kurt Russell
His introduction is still remembered for its powerful tone and connection to the Seahawks’ fierce identity.

No. Did the Seahawks make the playoffs in 2024? They did not. But just like me and my ankle which now cracks when I walk,… pic.twitter.com/YQNP1q5pqk
