How did Pat Riley secure the rights to '3-peat'?

Amin Elhassan 2:07
Oh, yeah.
Dan Le Batard 2:08
So lots of stuff is happening in the NBA as we tape right now. We'll keep interrupting what I think are thoughtful points with meaningless updates about Chris Middleton as we proceed here, I guess. Another bit of news, though. Maybe, David, you've already covered it. Come on. You said you have news. That's for you. Go ahead. I thought there was another trade. The NFL has a deal with Miami's own Pat Riley. for the use of three-peat on merchandise if the Chiefs win.

Amin Elhassan 3:36
Back-to-back-to-back national champions. National champs, Little League, yeah. David, you are older than everyone here today. So... I'm not old enough to remember, was three-peat a thing that was said before, like in the early 80s? No, it was 88.
David Samson 3:50
