Seattle sports legend Bobby Wagner may not play in the city anymore, but he will still have a strong presence there. The Seattle Storm announced that Wagner has joined the team’s ownership group. Wagner spent the first 10 seasons of his NFL career with the Seahawks, and he earned first-team All-Pro honors six times in that span. He also led Seattle to a victory over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII as a member of the Legion of Boom.
In a statement, Wagner said he wanted to keep making an impact in the community, especially when it comes to the growth of women’s basketball.
“It’s an honor to join the Seattle Storm ownership group and support a franchise that has consistently set the standard in women’s professional sports,” Wagner said. “This is about more than basketball, it’s about investing in a legacy of excellence, empowering women, and continuing to elevate the game for future generations.”
Storm co-owner Lisa Brummel highlighted Wagner’s contributions to the city while highlighting their shared goal of continuing to expand the popularity of women’s sports.
“Bobby is a hometown hero who has had immeasurable impact on the Seattle community,” Brummel said. “He shares our desire to grow the game and knows the value and importance of investing in women’s sports. As we continue to build on the incredible legacy of the Storm franchise, we are excited to add Bobby’s experience and expertise to the mix.”
Wagner is part of a wave of athletes and celebrities looking to invest in women’s sports. Eminem, Jared Goff and Chris Webber are all part of an ownership group that submitted a successful bid to bring a WNBA team to Detroit. Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, were part of a group trying to land an expansion team in Kansas City.

Getty Images After missing his team's Week 6 win over the Detroit Lions due to what was described as a "family situation," Kansas City Chiefs rookie left tackle Josh Simmons was ruled out of the team's Week 7 game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday after missing practice throughout the week for personal reasons.

3 Best MLB Free-Agent Fits For Pete Alonso if He Leaves New York Mets
Pete Alonso is hitting the open market, and it's difficult to gauge if the New York Mets want to keep the first baseman on a long-term deal. Where have we heard this before? Oh, right, this happened last offseason, too.Nevertheless, the five-time All-Star is coming off another potent season at the plate (38 home runs, 126 RBIs and a .272/.347/.524 slash line) and continues to be one of the most formidable hitters that MLB has to offer. Granted, Alonso's defense (he totaled a first baseman-high 10 errors and posted a career-worst -9 defensive runs saved in 2025) continues to be an area of concern. One way or another, though, Alonso will be a difference-maker for a lineup, whether it be in Queens or outside New York City.Here are the three best free-agent fits for Alonso should he and the Mets […]
