 | Monday, February 9, 2026 | | | Good Morning! On this day in 1942, U.S. Congress imposed daylight saving time across the nation. Designed to better conserve fuel and other resources during World War II, the time change was originally called war time. As many of us were watching the Super Bowl from couches and living rooms across the country, three American astronauts aboard the International Space Station were watching the same game from about 250 miles above Earth after NASA beamed Super Bowl LX to the orbiting crew.

A dominant defensive performance carried the Seattle Seahawks to a 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, securing the franchise’s second Super Bowl title. Seattle running back Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl MVP after rushing for 135 yards on 27 carries. Quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 202 yards and one touchdown. Seahawks kicker Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record with five field goals, and he supplied all 12 of Seattle’s points through three quarters. New England managed just 78 yards and no points entering the fourth. The scoring opened up in the fourth quarter with 30 combined points, including a defensive touchdown that put Seattle up 29-7 with less than five minutes left. The halftime show featured Bad Bunny, who performed in Spanish, with an appearance by Lady Gaga. Meanwhile, Turning Point USA—the organization founded by the late Christian conservative activist Charlie Kirk—hosted its own All-American Halftime Show on social media, headlined by Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, and others. | Lindsey Vonn's Olympic Dream Ends Lindsey Vonn's pursuit of an Olympic medal ended with a broken left leg following a crash just 13.4 seconds into Sunday's downhill final at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. Follow live updates here. The 41-year-old American, who was skiing with a ruptured ACL sustained just nine days earlier, clipped a gate and tumbled down the slope before being airlifted to a hospital, where she underwent surgery to stabilize the fracture. Her teammate Breezy Johnson won gold in the race, becoming only the second American woman to claim Olympic downhill gold after Vonn's 2010 Vancouver victory. The 30-year-old Wyoming native, who missed the 2022 Olympics with a knee injury, held off Germany’s Emma Aicher by just four-hundredths of a second. Watch her ride here. Vonn had been attempting to become the oldest Alpine skier ever to win an Olympic medal despite competing in a knee brace on the course she loves most, where she's won 12 World Cup races. | Map: Super Bowl Stars' Hometowns More than half of the nearly 100 athletes playing in Super Bowl LX hail from just seven states, with Texas claiming the most players who played high school football in the state. Texas leads with 15 players, followed by California with 13 from Los Angeles alone. The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex produced nine players, including Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who played high school football just 45 minutes apart. Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Illinois round out the top seven. Climate enables year-round outdoor training in most top states, while large populations provide deeper talent pools. Families increasingly relocate to target districts with strong programs, experienced coaches, and training facilities. Nearly one in five Super Bowl LX players played high school football in just the Dallas-Fort Worth or Los Angeles metro areas. See the map here.
