[Ahh... I now see you caught these ones in an update.]

Great list. Two more that help flesh out Allen's style:

Portland Trailblazers (NBA)
Seattle Seahawks (NFL) [Football Northwest, Inc. and First & Goal, Inc.]

If you'd like to see Allen (sometimes accompanied by his buddy, BillG), just tune into home games of the Blazers in the playoffs.

These are not insignificant even in his overall strategy. Because of his ownership of these teams, one of Allen's companies was able to get the contracts to produce and maintain NFL.com and NBA.com. Allen has since sold that company (StarWave -- sold to Disney/Lycos), but it's an example of how seemingly disparate properties can interact.
