The Seattle Seahawks are officially your Super Bowl LX champions! But in a shocking twist just one day after the massive downtown Super Bowl parade, the Paul G. Allen Estate announced the team is officially up for sale.

Join us as we break down the monumental 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots, cementing Sam Darnold as a legendary championship quarterback. We dive deep into the euphoria of the 12s, the immediate aftermath of locker cleanout day, and the front office securing 15 future contracts just a day after the parade.

Why sell now? We unpack the brilliant timing of cashing out at peak franchise valuation and how the multi-billion dollar NFL franchise sale will be used to fund the late Paul Allen's philanthropic legacy.

The Seattle Seahawks just shocked the NFL by hiring Thomas Hammock as their new Senior Offensive Assistant and Running Backs Coach, making him the highest-paid running backs coach in the league. Is Hammock secretly operating as the "Shadow OC" behind new Offensive Coordinator Brian Fleury?

In this deep dive, we break down what this historic hiring means for the Seahawks offense under head coach Mike Macdonald. We analyze the drastic philosophical shift from Fleury's finesse, synchronized-swimming wide-zone scheme (from the San Francisco 49ers tree) to Hammock's brutal, gap-scheme, bar-fight mentality forged with the Baltimore Ravens and Wisconsin Badgers. Why did Hammock leave his head coaching job at Northern Illinois University (NIU) after a historic upset against Notre Dame? What happens if Brian Fleury's play-calling struggles early on?

We cover the massive salary leverage, the clash of offensive schemes, and why Seattle is desperately trying to build a weather-proof, physical football team to survive the NFC West.
