Because why settle for one ring when you can build a dynasty?

During a press interaction on June 11, Hurts revealed that after winning the Super Bowl, he had private conversations with Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter about how to stay on top and build something lasting.
Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts 'Straight to Work' + Spoke to Michael Jordan & Derek Jeter About Repeat
'I reached out to both MJ and Jeter,'
Hurts said.
'We texted. I wanted to understand what really separates good from elite — how to repeat, how to sustain success.'
He said they shared mindset tips and the mental grind it takes to keep winning when you're already at the top, something both legends mastered in their careers.
The internet is loving Hurts' mindset: "This is
Mamba Mentality
in action"
The reaction online? All respect. No trolling, no jokes just fans hyping up Hurts for seeking knowledge instead of just celebrating.
People are even calling it a "Mamba Mentality move" going out of your way to study greatness and master the mental game.
Jordan and Jeter know exactly what it takes to repeat and Hurts is listening
Let's put this in perspective. Jordan three-peated. Twice. Jeter? Five World Series titles and the undisputed captain of the Yankees. These guys didn't just win, they led, adapted, evolved, and dominated for
years

By reaching out to them, Hurts is basically trying to download their blueprint and apply it to the Eagles' future.
And the timing couldn't be better. After their Super Bowl run, the Eagles will be under the microscope. Can Hurts repeat? Can Philly become a dynasty?
This isn't just a flex, it's a mindset shift. Hurts wants rings, plural. He's asking questions, surrounding himself with greatness, and trying to make sure that this year's win isn't a one-hit wonder.
And when you've got Jordan and Jeter dropping knowledge in your texts? You're not playing checkers, you're building an empire.

FIFA Club World Cup: Mbappe magic seals Real Madrid's spot in semi-final vs PSG
Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe, bottom, scores his side's 3rd goal. (AP Photo) Real Madrid held off a late Borussia Dortmund surge to clinch a 3-2 win and book their place in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup, where they will face European champions Paris Saint-Germain. The match, played under sweltering heat at the MetLife Stadium near New York City, saw Gonzalo Garcia and Kylian Mbappe steal the show for the Spanish giants. Gonzalo Garcia, 21, opened the scoring in the 10th minute, slotting home his fourth goal of the tournament after an inch-perfect cross from Arda Guler. Ten minutes later, full-back Fran Garcia doubled the lead, finishing off a flowing move that included a cutback from Trent Alexander-Arnold. Real Madrid dominated the opening stages, stifling Dortmund's rhythm and forcing them to chase shadows. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Coach Xabi Alonso praised his team's display but acknowledged the chaotic finish: 'Everything was going under control… but the last 10 minutes were kind of crazy. Overall, a good 80 minutes and the last 10 minutes to improve.' Indeed, Dortmund mounted a dramatic late comeback. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo Maximilian Beier fired in from a loose clearance in the 93rd minute to make it 2-1. But Real's response was emphatic — Mbappe, who came off the bench in the second half, produced a sensational overhead kick to restore the two-goal cushion. WATCH: Mbappe, still yet to start in the tournament due to recent illness, now has his first goal of the Club World Cup and 44th of the season. "It will be a great challenge for us to face PSG, but let's take positives from today and move on for the next one," said Alonso ahead of the semi-final showdown. There was still more drama to come, as Dean Huijsen was sent off for bringing down Serhou Guirassy, who converted the resulting penalty to bring Dortmund back within a goal. Despite the scare, Real held on, much to the delight of the 76,611 fans in attendance — a repeat of the 2024 Champions League final, but with far more twists. Dortmund coach Niko Kovac reflected, 'It is a deserved win for Real Madrid. We showed our qualities and it is not a failure if you go home after a defeat against them.'

IND vs ENG, 2nd Test: 'There's a Gill. There's a way' - Shubman follows double hundred with imperious 161
India's captain Shubman Gill celebrates after scoring a century during day four of the second cricket test match between England and India at Edgbaston in Birmingham, England, Saturday, July 5, 2025. (AP Photo/Scott Heppell) Birmingham: Shubman Gill played his first false shot of the day about an hour and a half before stumps on Day Four. Shoaib Bashir's delivery gripped and kicked off the surface and got big on Gill, who got the leading edge and offered a simple catch back to the bowler. By then he had plundered 161 off 162 balls, run the England team ragged and ensured that India had all but batted the hosts out of the game. In doing so, Gill finished the Edgbaston Test with 430 runs off 549 balls in 752 minutes of exquisite batting across two innings. Gill has been branded as a 'prince' in India cricket and he confirmed his status as batting royalty in contemporary Test cricket. The partisan Edgbaston crowd gave him a raucous applause as he headed to the dressing room. But in a matter of seconds, it started booing as Nitish Kumar Reddy jogged out to bat with India already 591 runs ahead in the second Test. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The crowd had already started chanting 'borrriiinng, borrriiing' when Gill carried on batting even after bringing up his 150. It went on till the time India declared at 427/6, with Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar unbeaten on 69 and 12 respectively, leaving the English batting 608 runs to chase with an hour and an entire day's play to go. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo The extra time taken to bat England out of the game appeared not to matter as pacers Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep got into the act immediately, taking out Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett and Joe Root late in the day. England ended at 72/3 at stumps and are staring down the barrel in this Test. The crowd's reaction at the back end of Gill's innings could be interpreted as a reflection of the mindset of the English team — exhausted and frustrated. The hosts had endured classical Test batting in testing conditions by overnight batters KL Rahul and Karun Nair, the imperious presence of Gill, Rishabh Pant's manic 65 off 58 and Jadeja's comfortable two hours of batting. By the end of the innings, almost all fielders at the boundary were struggling to pick the ball and were running in wrong directions. 'Siraj puts his heart on his sleeve': Morkel lauds pacers as India close in on win Dense clouds and blustery winds welcomed both teams at the start of the day. The overhead conditions, preceded by persistent overnight drizzle, offered the most challenging conditions yet for batters in this Test. India may have been 244 ahead with nine wickets in hand going into the fourth day, but Rahul and Nair had to deal with the moving ball for an hour. The Indian dressing room, having endured a brutal English run chase in the first Test, could not breathe easy even after Rahul fell for a pleasant 55 after Nair's indifferent 26. Out came Pant and the game moved at a blink-and miss rate. With his outrageous hitting and Gill's sublime strokeplay at the other end, they pinned England down. Bizarre field settings and bowling tactics were matched by outlandish batting by both Pant and Gill. Pant walked out to bat with a license to kill. It may never be established if the team management issued it to him. He was dead set on depositing the ball into the crowd. After a boundary and six to get off the mark, he drilled Stokes to Crawley at mid-off only to be put down. Such was the pressure exerted by Pant in his knock, which had three thunderous sixes and eight boundaries, that Stokes started setting funny fields to even Gill. Gill was in a zone where he could pick any spot in the field and reach the boundary. In a passage of play that could be best described as street cricket, with England resorting to setting a 6:3 field on the leg side, Gill moved around the crease like a bully and accessed different parts of the field. Once Pant was dismissed in a bizarre way, the bat flying to mid-wicket as he mistimed Bashir to long-off, conventional cricket returned.
