The Kansas City Chiefs may be on course for a “three-peat” — a third consecutive Super Bowl win — and no one is rooting for them more than NBA coach and Miami Heat president Pat Riley. In 1988, when he was the Los Angeles Lakers coach, he filed a patent for the term. That means if anyone wants to make commercial use of it on merch and memorabilia, they have to pay him. Here’s @USAToday’s story on how much he’s made in the past and specifically which words are trademarked.

Filed for trademarks, not a patent, right? Might need an edit to clarify.
@geekdad@twit.social @USAToday Absolutely! No idea why we wrote patent since that’s not in the story!
