Indiana Fever forward and queen of podcasts, Sophie Cunningham, is manifesting major league action on the floor, off the floor, and perhaps on the sand as well! In the latest installment of the popular podcast Show Me Something, the Mizzou legend dished to cohost West Wilson about her hopes for her upcoming WNBA contract.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want that next contract so I can buy a house!\u201d Sophie revealed her hopes for her next contract offer. \u201cI just want to feel homey and cozy but I\u2019m not decorating anything again until I\u2019ve got a three-year contract in front of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, it appears the WNBA star may be looking at options such as the New York Liberty or perhaps the Minnesota Lynx!<\/p>\n
Cunningham certainly has the right to dream big. With her television cameos, her sponsorship deals, and her sense of humor, the pint-sized star is quickly becoming one of the most marketable faces in the WNBA. Currently, her motto? \u201cPlay hard, build wealth, and never stop being Sophie.\u201d<\/p>\n
From Good Morning America to Arby\u2019s Test Kitchen<\/p>\n
The Fever star started her chaotic week promoting Arby\u2019s at Good Morning America in NYC. \u2018I was eating steak bites at 7 a.m.,\u2019 she laughed. \u2018There\u2019s never a wrong time for a steak bite.\u2019<\/p>\n
Her \u2018Hot Girls Eat Arby\u2019s\u2019 t-shirt went viral, and the faster-than-fast-food-chain\u2019s steak nuggets flew off the shelves nationwide. Arby\u2019s executives themselves asked the \u2018Hot Girls\u2019 star to sample new dishes at their development kitchen in Georgia. \u2018They said they are launching a \u2018Deep-Fried Turkey Sandwich\u2019 called \u2018The Gobbler\u2019 for Thanksgiving, and I\u2019m in.\u2019<\/p>\n
Robin Roberts and Ginger Zee apparently agreed. Cunningham left the GMA with a fan in every corner of the studio. \u201cThey\u2019re angels who wake up at 4:30 a.m. every day,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Team No Sleep: The whirlwind lives of Cunningham and West Wilson<\/p>\n
However, while the bread was being buttered on the conquests of breakfast television by the incomparable Sophie, her co-host West Wilson was having the wildest day in the land of press and publicity, fueled entirely on caffeine right up to the point where he actually found the time to perform a Live broadcast alongside the Chicks in the Office!<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve slept eight minutes in a week,\u201d Wilson joked, and then Sophie added, \u201cI\u2019ve maybe slept ten. We\u2019re wall street-it around this baby.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both said their lives currently run on adrenaline and Arby\u2019s proteins.<\/p>\n

Marathon Goals: Sophie\u2019s Next Challenge is 26.2 Miles in Paradise<\/p>\n
After the tough season, the travels, and the physical demands, Sophie\u2019s sights are fixed on something truly \u2018wild\u2019: the marathon held in Hawaii in December next year. \u2018\u2018I always thought you had to be mental to run marathons,\u2019\u2019 she confessed. \u2018\u2018But Hawaii\u2019s a happy place for me. I\u2019ll walk if I have to. Look at the ocean view, the mountains there,\u2019\u2019 she said, grinning in anticipation.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s also enlisting the help of her sister Lindsay to join her. \u2018I\u2019m definitely not training for six months,\u2019 said Sophie. \u2018My season\u2019s over, I\u2019ll be in shape, and maybe I\u2019ll run about 13 miles. Then the rest will be walked.\u2019<\/p>\n

However, Cunningham<\/a> also shed light on the collective bargaining agreement process the WNBA has been having, relating an important point which many WNBA supporters may have not known about. \u201cI thought if we hadn\u2019t reached a deal by the 31st of October, it\u2019d be a lockout,\u201d she said. \u2018But it\u2019s not the case. So long as both sides are still negotiating, play goes on.\u2019<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n She liked the process, finding it \u2018fascinating\u2019 to watch the \u2018business side of women\u2019s basketball develop\u2019. \u2018You don\u2019t know, you don\u2019t know,\u2019 she said. \u2018But now I\u2019m learning and I actually love it.\u2019<\/p>\n Watch the full episode below.<\/p>\n The post Sophie Cunningham Says She Wants a Multi-Year WNBA Contract So She Can Buy a House: \u201cI Just Want to Be Cozy\u201d<\/a> appeared first on Where Is The Buzz | Breaking News, Entertainment, Exclusive Interviews & More<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Indiana Fever forward and queen of podcasts, Sophie Cunningham, is manifesting major league action on the floor, off…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255162,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,6003,25866,2803,736,3457,10879,82,118669,630],"class_list":["post-255161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fever","tag-good-morning-america","tag-indiana-fever","tag-minnesota-lynx","tag-new-york-liberty","tag-sophie-cunningham","tag-sports","tag-west-wilson","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
