When i moved to Seattle I heard a rumor about Paul.

He lived on Mercer Island which is a prominently wealthy area of Seattle. He wanted to have his helicopter land at his house. He was told he couldn't land his helicopter on his property by the city.

So he built a massive boat with a helicopter landing pad and docked it right next to his house on Lake Washington. The boat is massive and can be seen driving on the I-90 floating bridge.

Not very often NFL and NBA teams become available. Wonder who is gonna buy them
:rip: he seemed like a good guy and he brought a lot to the world.

I don't know how this will play out on a sports level. Seahawks and Blazers could end up in different hands in the near future.
Yeah on a sports level, it was a huge benefit having the richest owner in the NBA. A city like Portland doesn't attract free-agents so overpaying for a player is necessary sometimes. I wonder who's going to take over.

My Raiders have the poorest owner in the NFL and it lead to Khalil Mack getting traded.

He has no kids?
No kids, never married.

This is true

The Blazers and Seahawks might quite possibly be up for grabs if the sister doesnt want to hold on to them.

And they might easily fetch a couple billion put together.....considering what the Panthers recently sold for

It depends on what his will says and I guarantee you his will is gonna be wild.

If there is ever a chance that an owner would will a team to a city this is it. He seems like the kinda cat to say fukk allowing someone to move teams out of the city's I love. The NFL and NBA may try to block it because they'd end up with another Green Bay situation which the NFL hates, but I hope he gives both squads to Seattle and Portland.

R.I.P. But he doesn't have any kids?

And his sister doesn't want the teams? Damn. The Seahawks could fetch 3 billion easy.

Cancers a godamn monster

Sadly don’t think they’re interested in finding a cure

R.I.P.
They've discovered cures for many types of cancers. But cancer isn't any one "thing", you can't find a cure for "cancer" just like you can't find a cure for "disease", every one is different.

There are literally billions upon billions of dollars being spent by hundreds of thousands of people in hundreds of countries in the search for a cure for various types of cancers. There is no collective "they" trying to avoid a cure - you'd have to have so many hundreds of thousands of people involved in such a conspiracy that it would be quite impossible.
