Hall of Famer, Walter Jones, and current Seahawks quarterback, Russell Wilson, are in the conversation for greatest Seattle Seahawk of all-time. However, there's something about undersized, white guy receivers that is oddly satisfying and appeasing to watch. And while Steve Largent may fit the description, he's definitely worthy being the Seahawks' greatest player. At 5'11, Largent proved why he was the one defensive coordinators needed to plan for.
After two seasons at the University of Tulsa, Largent was selected 177th in the fourth round of the fourth round of the 1976 NFL Draft by the Houston Oilers. After four preseason games with the Oilers, the team cut ties wih Largent and the Seahawks signed him as a part of an expansion agreement. Largent would go on to represent the Seahawks his entire thirteen-season career. By the time, Largent retired in 1989, he held records for all major receiving categories including most receptions in a career (819), most receiving yards in a career (13,089), and most touchdown receptions (100). Most of which have been broken since then, but a still a feat for the 7x Pro Bowler regardless.
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite?
