He was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and attended college at Georgia Tech. An original member of the Seattle Seahawks as a second round selection in the 1976 NFL Draft (59th overall), he played wide receiver from 1976 to 1981. While with the Seahawks, Raible was known more for his locker room antics than his on field play. He now shares duties as one of the co-anchors for the KIRO-TV team, the lead play-by-play announcer for the Seahawks (the "Voice of the Seahawks") on flagship stations KIRO-AM (710 ESPN Seattle) and KIRO-FM (News/Talk 97.3), and an anchor providing in-depth, TV coverage of the Seafair hydroplane races and Blue Angels airshow during the first weekend of August each year in Seattle. He shaved his famous mustache in March 2008, due to KIRO 7 making the switch to High definition. Raible was the first NFL player from Trinity High School in Louisville. |
