Zitate und Sprüche von Steve Largent

Some receivers are like sports cars: they have a lot of speed and flair. Me, I'm like an old pickup truck. I just bounce around and try to get the job done.

Frequently I get asked if I'd rather have spent my career in a big city like New York or Los Angeles, where the exposure would be greater than in Seattle. My answer is no, not at all. Exposure is not important to me.

Football players should always remember there's a whole lot more to life.

People are very protective of their cell phones, how it's used, where it's used and how much it costs. It has become a very personal issue for a whole lot of people in this country.

They say politics is a contact sport, and I have to agree with that.

They wrote me off. I ain't write back though.

We're playing in this very, very cool arena where Bayern Munich plays, kind of the country's top soccer team, and it looks amazing in pictures. The chance to go across to another country, play a sport that I love... there's 3 million ticket requests for 67,000 seats. So the place is gonna be rocking and if it's anything like what I see in those German Bundesliga games this is gonna be one of the most epic games that we've ever played in. So I'm super excited.

I'm just 'bout that action boss.

I'm the best corner in the game!

You can go get guys our size and our speed, but you can't teach the heart side of it.

I've been fortunate to be able to play 10 amazing years in Seattle. My hope and goal is to be back there and keep winning there. That's the vision; that's the goal. That's always been it, never been anything different.

I'm happy to be here in Seattle. It's like a family here. It feels like home. And so I'm just enjoying my time here and continuing to work hard with these guys and just trying to be the best we can be.

You all can sit here and ask me all the questions you all want to. I'm going to answer with the same answer, so you all can shoot if you all please. I'm just here so I won't get fined.

Don't ask me why I'm a Seahawks fan. Ask yourself why you're not!

When the Oakies left Oklahoma and moved to California, it raised the I.Q. of both states.

Here in Oklahoma, there's not a whole lot to do. So, a lot of your focus and attention is on basketball, which is a blessing in disguise. And this is where I wanted to end up, so I'm very happy I'm here.

Sheldon: "Texas, Oklahoma... what's the difference?"
Meemaw: "Hey, now, I think you might want to crack open your psychology textbook 'cause that there is crazy talk."

Do you know why Oklahoma's state slogan is "Oklahoma is OK"?
Because they can't spell "mediocre".

"Why did Oklahoma raise the minimum drinking age to 25?"
"They wanted to keep alcohol out of the high schools!"

Governor is not the position to have in Oklahoma. It is the head coach of Oklahoma or Oklahoma State or Tulsa.

Something called 'the Oklahoma Standard' became known throughout the world. It means resilience in the face of adversity. It means a strength and compassion that will not be defeated.

They say money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a flight to Oklahoma - and that's pretty much the same thing.

I like football. I find its an exciting strategic game. Its a great way to avoid conversation with your family at Thanksgiving.

On a football team, it’s not the strength of the individual players, but it is the strength of the unit and how they all function together.

Football is unconditional love.

I don't have a phone. I refuse to be a slave to technology.

War is young men dying and old men talking. You know this. Ignore the politics.

Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity.

Scott Hanson: "If it comes down to it, Brock. It's late in the fourth quarter, are you prepared to disappoint Taylor Swift?"
Brock Purdy: "Yes."

It's a team sport. We knew we had a half left. The boys on defense took care of business.

We're not done, dawg, I want three!

Quick funny story: I threw a touchdown to this dude to end the game. And he looked at me and he had no idea. I said, "Dude, we just won the Super Bowl!"

It's been a long year to get to this point and we got it done today. We can't wait to get to Vegas!

Brock, he made some big plays in this game. Missed a couple, but leading us down on our last drive and getting the win, that's all I can ask for.

I'm the top receiver in the game. There's no question about it.

I feel like as a receiver, you have to expect the unexpected. No matter where the ball is, it's your job to catch it. The quarterback has done all the hard parts. He got the ball out of his hands. He made checks. He did everything else. Now it's you. Just understanding that everything is not going to go as planned and the ball is not going to be where it needs to be all the time. Prepare myself for the worst, and when the best happens, it feels great.

I'll get to the point right away. I'm retiring. For good. You only get one super emotional retirement essay and I used mine out last year.

Patrick Mahomes is my GOAT!

I'm not a coffee drinker. I just get up and go. I got endless energy for a chubby guy.

DeMeco Ryans is the perfect guy for the job. He brings something out of his players, and it's indescribable.

Steph Curry don't ever stop shooting. Imma keep letting it fly,

I love these guys right here. The men that we just won this thing with, family forever, baby. I couldn't be more proud of you guys. We get a chance to do it three times in a row!

She's unbelievable, she's rewriting the history books herself. I told her I'll have to hold up my end of the bargain and come home with some hardware too.

I mean, they got a good defense, but we got a really good offense.

It's my turn to lead this team to exactly one Super Bowl and then about fifteen years of tremendous pain. It's the Packer way.

Congrats to the Kansas City Chiefs, MVP Patrick Mahomes, Coach Reid, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, Mecole Hardman, and the rest of the champs for another Lombardi Trophy. Grace under pressure.
