In 2024, the Kansas City Chiefs are attempting to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls (and are off to a good start at 3-0!) Eight teams have tried before: The 1968 Packers, 1974 Dolphins, 1977 Steelers, 1980 Steelers, 1990 49ers, 1994 Cowboys, 1999 Broncos, and 2005 Patriots. All have failed, and in fact none have even made it to the Super Bowl, let alone winning it. In this episode we relive all of the efforts. Why were they unsuccessful? And who came the closest?

Prior to 2004, the U.S. Olympic Basketball Team had won three straight gold medals, and not even lost a game since professionals were first allowed to play in 1992. That all changed as the Larry Brown-coached team in '04 managed only a bronze medal, and lost three games. Tune in to hear the story of how this team underperformed despite the presence of future Hall of Famers such as Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson, Lebron James, and Dwyane Wade.

The book "American Hoops" by Carson Cunningham was particularly helpful in putting together this episodes as were various oral histories from Bleacher Report, GQ, NBC Sports, and ESPN, all of which can be easily googled!
