Being one of the best athletes in the WNBA, Clark is well aware of the new heights that women’s sports may achieve. “The future is very bright and I’ve been a part of it for a short period of time — there have been so many amazing people that have come before me,” Clark told Hypebeast, adding that women’s sports are only the beginning. What’s so thrilling is that the possibilities are endless. Clark was interviewed by HYPEBAE as well, and she talked about her devotion to the Chiefs (she has been a fan since she was a little girl) and her eagerness to see SZA at the halftime performance.
Justin Jefferson entered the lab as well, easily catching throws with one hand. “Being a part of this means a lot,” Jefferson told Hypebeast. For the great receiver, it meant the world to be able to travel to his hometown of New Orleans for the big game. “I was looking forward to returning home for the Super Bowl after attending LSU and living here my entire life.” “I feel like everybody wants him to play “Not Like Us,” and everyone is waiting to see if he’s going to actually play it or not,” he said in response to a question about what song he thought Kendrick Lamar will perform at the Super Bowl halftime show. I’m eager. The rapper did all of that and more, inviting SZA, Serena Williams, and Samuel L. Jackson as guests, as you can see if you tuned in to see the lavish production.
Coach Nick Sirianni was showered with yellow (lemon-lime flavored) Gatorade after the Eagles defeated the Los Angeles Knight Riders 40–22 in Super Bowl LIX. a yearly custom and a day that gaming enthusiasts eagerly anticipate. Clark and Jefferson also revealed some personal experiences regarding the drink, which has been a part of the NFL Super Bowl since 1983. “My first memories with [Gatorade] were after school practices, and soccer was the first sport I ever played,” Clark says. As long as I have participated in athletics, it has been a part of my life. You were chosen to bring your own drink and snack to practice once a year, and I always chose the blue taste.
It was all about the ads for Jefferson. “I modeled myself after my favorite players, Michael Jordan and LeBron James, when I was a little kid and watched their commercials,” he said.
As the Eagles quarterback, Jalen Hurts, lifted the Vince Lombardi trophy and green confetti filled the Caesars Superdome field, the weekend came to a conclusion. With the NFL Kickoff game scheduled for September 2025 and the WNBA starting in May, it’s time for Clark and Jefferson to get ready for their next seasons.
