She has no choice though. She is not the owner, just the administrator of the estate that owns the team. The terms of Paul Allen’s estate said that they had to sell his holdings, including both the Trailblazers and the Seahawks, within 10 years of his death. It’s been more than eight so a sale is imminent. The current rumors of who might buy are Steve Ballmer and… Jody Allen. They weren’t booing her though anyhow. Cooper Kupp was on screen in the stadium. ---

I’m not a big fan of halftime shows but enjoyed this one immensely. As for Sleeper Hold LX, I was pleased Seattle won, but 15 points of field goals? Yawn. The defences were too mismatched to call it a defensive battle, but a few long yard completions would have been nice. ---

There’s someone on Reddit whose friend was (supposedly) of of the grass clumps. It was done that way as it was the easiest way to get all the sugarcane and grass onto the field, and it’s how they managed to keep rearranging the ‘maze’ so they could do as much as possible in long shots. ---

> [@ZipperJJ](#): > > We’re mentioning commercials but for the most part they haven’t been worth mentioning. Certainly true. Before the game I went out to watch the flyover and got these shots and videos (imgur link below). It was my first time seeing a B-1B IRL, ever. It was pretty cool. Super Bowl LX Flyover, taken from Alviso ➤ 2 USAF B-1B Lancers from Ellsworth AFB, SD ➤ 2 USAF F-15C Eagles from Fresno ANG Base, CA ➤ 2 USN F/A-18E Super Hornets from NAS Lemoore, CA ➤ 2 USN F-35C Lightning IIs from NAS Lemoore, CA ➜ [Super Bowl LX Flyover, taken from Alviso - Album on Imgur](https://imgur.com/gallery/9qGaYFE) ■ I thought the Seahawks would likely win but I was really pulling for the Patriots to upset them. The Seahawks defense was stifling, certainly, but I place the blame squarely on the shoulders of Drake Maye. I’m probably being too hard on him but IMO, he screwed the pooch royally in this game. If he played perfectly, they had a chance to win it. Drake Maye had absolutely no pocket awareness. I’m a 49er fan and he reminded me today of Jimmy Garopolo, failing to sense the pocket collapsing and unnecessarily eating sacks instead of throwing the ball away. He missed wide open receivers several times today. ---

For a kicker to be MVP, I think he’d have to make something like four or more FGs from 55+ yard range and the game would have to be really tight, maybe decided by some 59-yard game winner as time expires. While the Seahawks kicker was solid tonight, none of his FGs were difficult. ---

> [@Velocity](#): > > For a kicker to be MVP, I think he’d have to make something like four or more FGs from 55+ yard range and the game would have to be really tight, maybe decided by some 59-yard game winner as time expires. Likely so; either several long field goals, and/or clutch kicks. > [@Velocity](#): > > While the Seahawks kicker was solid tonight, none of his FGs were difficult. Indeed; in this era, a kicker needs to be 90+% accurate on kicks inside of 40-45 yards. He did his job well, but there was nothing necessarily extraordinary about his night, other than the number of field goals he was called on to kick. ---

> [@Bullitt](#): > > I’m probably being too hard on him but IMO, he screwed the pooch royally in this game. No, you’re not being too hard on him at all. He was in over his head, and he looked like a deer looking into the headlights of an oncoming car. He was SEATTLE’S most valuable player. LOL ---

Nice! What was the purpose of the lone plane? I’m assuming it symbolized something. ---

> [@Jasmine](#): > > What was the purpose of the lone plane? I’m assuming it symbolized something. Good question. I’m not sure why, actually, but my guess is that the formation looked better, to my untrained eye anyway (I was artillery, not air wing), with just the one B-1B at the point position.
