And the WNBA expands. Michele, thanks so much for being with us. Well, you've spent the last two weeks in Kansas City with the Chiefs. And some of us can smell the barbecue. They have a league leader in Patrick Mahomes, a great coach Andy Reid.
The Chiefs are just, you know, just one win away from a third straight Super Bowl. But they had some close calls during the regular season. How do you motivate a team with players who may begin to ask, ah, but how am I going to wear a third ring? They only dropped, I think, two all season, despite winning a bunch of games by just one score.
Now, Mahomes did tell me at the end of last season, Scott, that at some point, he'll probably need a pinky championship ring because they are going for a third-straight Super Bowl victory.
That's obviously never been reached in the Super Bowl era. And you would think that, you know, making that history would be amazingly motivating. But what I hear players actually talking about amongst themselves isn't a three-peat, but, hey, let's go win a Super Bowl for the guys in this locker room who don't have one ring, much less three.
You know, Hunt is on a second stint with the team. He missed their Super Bowl success. Hopkins who was traded midseason - he's never been this far in the playoffs. And guys will say all the time, you know, let's get this for DHop, for example. You know, 29 and 32 are not old by any stretch of the imagination, but it's actually a little old in an NFL locker room, and they're really rallying around their elders - so to speak - on this Super Bowl run.
