We already know Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has “no time to sleep.” It looks like his latest company will shed some light on that mindset. Wilson, a busy entrepreneur when he’s not on the football field, launched another venture on Tuesday in the form of Limitless Minds, a business coaching consultancy that looks to tap the Super Bowl champ’s competitive thinking and mental conditioning and bring it all into the corporate world. GeekWire first reported about the plans for the business last summer. The startup was founded by Wilson, mental-conditioning coach and renowned sports psychologist Trevor Moawad, business partner… Read More
At least Russell Wilson can joke about it. With the Super Bowl just a couple days away, the sting for many fans is that their team isn’t playing for the NFL’s biggest prize. For Seahawks fans, the fact that the New England Patriots are there again only adds insult to the 2015 injury, when Wilson and his team came up just short against Tom Brady and company, and were denied a repeat championship.

His game… Read More
Paul Allen saved the Seattle Seahawks when he acquired the team in 1996 and kept the NFL franchise from relocating to Southern California. With the passing of the Microsoft co-founder, a new report from NFL.com speculates on what might happen if the team is sold. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that sources inside the league said that Allen planned to have the proceeds of the eventual sale of the team go to charity via the Paul G. Allen Foundation. While no sale of the team is imminent, the expectation, according to Rapoport, is that Allen’s sister Jody Allen… Read More
In the wake of Paul Allen’s death last week, it’s too early to know much about the fate of the billionaire’s many varied holdings. And when it comes to the two professional sports franchises the Microsoft co-founder owned — the Seattle Seahawks and the Portland Trail Blazers — speculation about who will take over is all that fans have right now. It’s hard to picture Jeff Bezos having any interest in owning the Seahawks — unless the NFL is looking for a team to play on Mars someday. But at least one team owner thinks the Amazon CEO makes perfect… Read More
