THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS ARE OFFICIALLY UP FOR SALE

Paul G. Allen’s estate launches a multi-year franchise sale aimed at record NFL valuations and major philanthropic impact.

Summary

• The Seattle Seahawks are officially up for sale less than two weeks after winning Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara

• Paul G. Allen’s estate has begun a formal sale process, honoring his directive to sell his sports holdings and direct the proceeds to philanthropy

• Investment bank Allen & Company and law firm Latham & Watkins will run a multi‑year sale expected to fetch a record NFL franchise price while the team stays locked into Lumen Field and Seattle

Fresh off a second Lombardi and a parade that shut down downtown, the Seattle Seahawks are suddenly the hottest asset on the sports market. The Paul G. Allen Estate has kicked off a formal sale process for the reigning Super Bowl champions, an unprecedented move in the modern NFL and the climactic chapter in the late Microsoft co‑founder’s plan to liquidate his sports empire for charitable giving. Allen bought the franchise in 1997 for just under $200 million, keeping it from bolting to Southern California, and under Paul and Jody Allen the Seahawks evolved from league afterthought to perennial contender and two‑time Super Bowl winner.

The estate has tapped Allen & Company and Latham & Watkins to handle the deal, a process the team says will stretch through the 2026 offseason before any buyer is vetted and ratified by at least 24 of 32 NFL owners. Public valuations peg the Seahawks in the $6.6 billion USD to $7 billion USD range, with some post‑title projections pushing the number toward eight digits, positioning the sale to eclipse the Washington Commanders and even challenge the $10 billion USD Los Angeles Lakers benchmark. With a long‑term lease at Lumen Field, sold‑out crowds since 2003 and the NFL’s next media‑rights cycle on deck, whoever steps in next inherits a ready‑made contender, a locked‑in city and one of the league’s most powerful platforms for both business and philanthropy.

NIGERIAN HERITAGE HELPED SEATTLE SEAHAWKS WIN THE SUPER BOWL LX

 

KIM KARDASHIAN'S NEW LOOK FOR LEWIS HAMILTON! STAR CHANNELS PAMELA ANDERSON FOR 90'S-LOVING F1 DATE WITH FAKE BANGS AND OVERSIZED DEBUT CHOCKER FOR PUBLIC AT SUPER BOWL

Kim Kardashian was sporting a whole new 90s look when she went to the Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium with new love interest Lewis Hamilton on Sunday. 

The mother-of-four, 45, wore clip-in bangs, oversized shaded and a choker, a look she sported before to the CFDA in 2023, which was inspired by 90s Pamela Anderson, now 58, according to her hairdresser.

And it transpires that F1 champ Lewis, 41,  has a love for all things 90s, channelling the fashion in double denim.

And his appreciation spans driving iconic 90s machinery, specifically Ayrton Senna’s 1990 McLaren and wearing nostalgic 90s national team tracksuits. 

He also enjoys 90s cinema and his favourite movie is Cool Runnings, which was released in 1993. 

Kim Kardashian's new look for Lewis Hamilton! Star channelled Pamela Anderson for 90s-loving love interest with fake bangs and an oversized choker for public debut at Super Bowl

Kim and Lewis have been enjoying a secret romance for weeks and made their public debut at the Super Bowl on Sunday

Kim's long-term hairstylist Chris Appleton posted a picture of Kim's new look on socials and wrote: 'Super Bowl bangs' and previously discussed the secret behind her clip-in fringe. 

He told Vogue: 'The look was inspired by '90s Pammy. It was a much more undone look than we’ve done previously and adding piecey bangs really gave it a lived-in finish.

'I followed her cheekbones for placement. Kim and I worked visually, just grabbing hair and pinning it into place. From there, the key element was getting the separation in the bangs.'

Kim has never gone on a date to the Super Bowl before, although in 2010, she was pictured there with boyfriend, running back, Reggie Bush, who was playing.

Sunday night was the first public outing for Kim and Lewis after conducting their secret romance behind closed doors.  

The pair were spotted enjoying the showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, amid reports they are enjoying a 'secret romance'.

It comes days after Kim and Lewis were pictured checking in to upmarket hotel Estelle Manor.

The pair were seen arriving with a motorcade in tow at the five-star establishment in the English Cotswolds, which is frequented by the rich and famous.

They enjoyed an intimate dinner and a couple's massage as part of a romantic weekend getaway to the A-list favourite spot in the Cotswolds.

Kim jetted into the UK on her $125 million private jet to spend just time with her new beau at the exclusive venue, with three bodyguards protecting the couple.

Then they both travelled to Paris where Kim was promoting her Nike SKIMS line.

A lip reader has unmasked the conversation between the two at the Super Bowl as Lewis seemingly promised Kim that she would meet his mom in a viral clip from the broadcast. 

'No I don't take just any girl to my mom, I mean you're gonna meet someday, she is very excited to see you,' he reportedly said to Kim, according to expert Nicola Hickling, who is the founder of LipReader. 

Hickling told the Daily Mail that Kim appeared to 'shuffle uncomfortably in her seat' and covered her face 'before replying with a simple okay'.

Meanwhile body language expert Judi James revealed to the Daily Mail how Kim used a 'hot and cool' flirting technique that left Lewis 'purring'.

'Firstly, there is the pose that registers undivided attention between them, which is a form of non-verbal stroke when you're on a date,' James said, dissecting their interaction.

'Kim actually leans back to take in Lewis visually as he speaks and this flattering "stroke" produces a "purr" response from him which is visible in the way his facial features soften and he talks through a smile of pleasure.'

James noted that, 'Kim adds to the flirting when the tip of her tongue appears at the side of her mouth. This is usually seen as a gesture of playful desire or interest.'

'But then she seems to switch to a very smart technique of intense interest followed by distraction, suddenly looking away after bathing Lewis in her interested gaze.'

'She even brings one hand up to touch her hair and hide her face from him. This hot/cool body language technique is used to capture someone's attention and to get them to coax the signals of interest back again,' James observed.

'Kim's hand to hair gesture looks like a preen here, suggesting she sees Lewis as a very suitable "catch" to show off with pride at this public event.'

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS ARE YOUR SUPER BOWL LX CHAMPIONS

A decade after a heartbreak at the goal line, Seattle claims its second Lombardi Trophy with a 29–13 victory.

Summary

• The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29–13 in Super Bowl LX, securing the franchise’s second championship

• Kicker Jason Myers tied a Super Bowl record with five field goals, while the defense forced multiple turnovers from Patriots QB Drake Maye

• The victory serves as a narrative redemption for the team’s 2015 loss to New England and caps a comeback season for quarterback Sam Darnold

11 years after one of the most painful losses in sports history, the Seattle Seahawks have finally flipped the script. On Sunday night at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Seattle defeated the New England Patriots 29–13 to win Super Bowl LX, earning the second title in franchise history. In a game billed as a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX—famous for the Malcolm Butler interception—the Seahawks relied on a suffocating defense and the steady leg of kicker Jason Myers to deny New England a league-leading seventh championship. The victory also completes an improbable redemption arc for quarterback Sam Darnold, who hoisted the Lombardi Trophy after revitalizing his career in the Pacific Northwest.

For much of the evening, the game was a defensive grind that saw the Patriots shut out for three quarters—a drought not seen in the Super Bowl since the 1973 Minnesota Vikings. Seattle’s offense, while struggling to find the end zone early, capitalized on field position. Jason Myers became the game’s unlikely MVP candidate, converting five field goals—including a 41-yarder—to tie a Super Bowl record and give Seattle a commanding 15-0 lead heading into the final frame. The Patriots’ rookie sensation Drake Maye struggled under the bright lights, facing constant pressure and suffering five sacks.

The game broke open in the fourth quarter when Seattle’s defense turned pressure into points. Cornerback Devon Witherspoon blitzed Maye, forcing a fumble that linebacker Uchenna Nwosu scooped up and returned 45 yards for a touchdown, effectively sealing the game. While Patriots quarterback Drake Maye managed late touchdown passes to Mack Hollins and Rhamondre Stevenson to narrow the deficit, the hole was too deep to climb out of. Seattle’s tight end AJ Barner also contributed the game’s first touchdown, catching a 16-yard strike from Darnold following another Patriots turnover.

Beyond the gridiron action, the night was historic for its cultural milestones. Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny headlined the Apple Music Halftime Show, becoming the first artist to perform a primarily Spanish-language set at the event. Bringing a “huge party” atmosphere to the field with guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, the performance celebrated Latin culture amidst the high-stakes athletics. The Seattle Seahawks will return to the Pacific Northwest for a victory parade scheduled later this week, while the NFL offseason officially begins.

BEST MOMENTS FROM THE BAD BUNNY’S SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW

 

"PATHETIC MAGA FOOLS, GO CHOKE ON FKAGS": NFL FANS TRASH CHARLIE KIRK'S TPUSA ALL-AMERICAN HALFTIME SHOW DURING BAD BUNNY SUPER BOWL LX PERFORMANCE

The New England Patriots are currently playing the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium. This game is a big rematch of the Super Bowl from 11 years ago. Back then, the Patriots won because of an important interception near the goal line. 

The halftime entertainment became a point of choice for viewers. While the official show was on, an alternative option gained attention for its distinct approach.

Turning Point USA, the conservative organization founded by Charlie Kirk, hosted the “All-American Halftime Show,” which was streamed live from various platforms during Super Bowl LX halftime on February 8, 2026. This patriotic alternative to Bad Bunny’s performance attracted over 5 million peak viewers with a lineup celebrating faith, family, and freedom.

TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet described the event, saying, “This is a family-friendly, patriotic alternative with no agenda.”

The 30-minute show headlined by Kid Rock featured country artists Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. It aired on platforms such as YouTube, Rumble, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Daily Wire+, One America News, Real America’s Voice, NTD.com, The National Desk, and CHARGE!, after being excluded from X at the last minute due to licensing issues. 

TPUSA responded to criticisms of the NFL’s decision to feature Bad Bunny, noting that his Spanish-language performance differed from an alternative that would have emphasized American values.

The official Super Bowl drew over 115 million viewers, up from 112 million last year. 

NFL fans offer honest takes on Bad Bunny’s alternative show

The difference between the Super Bowl halftime show and events like TPUSA shows a divide among NFL fans.

One fan remarked, “127.7 million viewers are watching the Super Bowl. Less than 1% right? So what percentage of fucking racist losers then are not watching the half time show?,” questioning the alternative’s reach and motives.

A second fan stated, “You can watch TPUSA halftime show on your phone and watch bad bunny on the tv,” suggesting a practical way to view both.

A third fan noted, “You are correct Turning Point is insane. By the way 300 million plus are watching Lady Gaga and Bad Bunny,” exaggerating official viewership to downplay TPUSA’s event.

A fourth fan commented, “Who cares that’s nothing compared to what the SB halftime just got,” dismissing the alternative’s impact.

A fifth fan said, “Pathetic MAGA fools, go choke on flags,” criticizing the show’s political undertones.

This split shows how halftime choices can separate NFL fans. While the league aims for global appeal, events like TPUSA’s show offer different options, mixing music with the game’s excitement.

PRESIDENT TRUMP SLAMS BAD BUNNY'S SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW, CALLS IT ONE OF THE WORST OF ALL-TIME

© CARY EDMONDSON-IMAGN IMAGES

President Trump was not a fan of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show.

Last week, Trump revealed that he wasn’t looking forward to the halftime show because he said Bad Bunny.

“I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible,” Trump told the Post.

On Sunday, Bad Bunny took the stage in Santa Clara and called for unity at the end of his Super Bowl halftime show.

After Bad Bunny’s performance, Trump took to Truth Social to bash the Super Bowl halftime show, calling it one of the worst performances of all time.

“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“This ‘Show’ is just a ‘slap in the face’ to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

BAD BUNNY'S 2026 SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW IS ALREADY BRINGING OUT THE RACISTS

Bad Bunny is coming! On September 28, during halftime for Sunday Night Football, the NFL and Roc Nation announced that the Debí Tirar Más Fotos musician will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, which will take place on February 8 at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Bad Bunny has performed at the Super Bowl once before, previously making a cameo during Jennifer Lopez and Shakira's Halftime Show in 2020 — but he'll be the headline performer for the first time ever for the 2026 event. “@badbunnypr is bringing Puerto Rico to the world’s biggest stage,” the official Apple Music account shared on Instagram.

“What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” the Puerto Rican singer, whose given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, shared in a statement. “It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”

The 2025 Halftime Show, which was headlined by Kendrick Lamar, was watched by over 133 million viewers — higher than the viewership of the actual game itself. Fans of the the global superstar are thrilled to see Benito take on one of the world's biggest stages. But some people are less than excited about the 2026 performer, and took to social media to spout racist backlash, criticizing the musician's political stance and the fact that most of his music is in Spanish, not English.

“Football is an AMERICAN game, we’ve been trying to kick out illegals for YEARS. This will just bring them in,” one xenophobe wrote in the volatile comments section of Bad Bunny's Instagram collab announcement post with the NFL, Roc Nation, and Apple Music. “Will there be subtitles? Asking for 90% of the country,” wrote another Instagram user.

But for every racist or xenophobic comment on Instagram about Bad Bunny's global fan base, there were hundreds more praising the decision. “I hope he doesn’t utter a single word of English the entire show! LET’S GO, BAD BUNNY!” commented one fan. “The racism in this comment section is wild. Way too normalized. Bad Bunny is one of the top 3 most famous artists in this damn world. Yall can zip it,” chimed in another. (It's true: Bad Bunny has been ranked as one of the top three most-streamed artists on Spotify since 2019 and was the most-streamed artist from 2020 to 2022.)

The criticism continued on X, however, with conservative pundits accusing the NFL of “self-destructing” and making “the Super Bowl political," referencing Ocasio's previous comments about ICE and President Donald Trump; ICYMI, Bad Bunny chose not to tour in the United States after the release of Debí Tirar Más Fotos because of ongoing ICE raids.

“There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the US, and none of them were out of hate—I’ve performed there many times,” he explained to i-D magazine earlier this month. “All of [the shows] have been successful. All of them have been magnificent. I’ve enjoyed connecting with Latinos who have been living in the U.S."

“But specifically, for a residency here in Puerto Rico, when we are an unincorporated territory of the U.S.,” Ocasio continued, "People from the U.S. could come here to see the show. Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world. But there was the issue of like, f*cking ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.”
