Chapter 834 Kingly Style
Brady thought Arrowhead Stadium would humiliate him, just like Indianapolis who was celebrating the New England Patriots' loss.
Kansas City, however, did not.
Arrowhead Stadium chose not to attack him as if he was just...a loser.
Instead of proving your strength by crushing losers, you should focus on celebrating your victories and set your sights on greater and more ambitious goals.
They have more important things to focus on than stepping on the enemy's corpse to vent their anger.
The despicable and the noble are clear at a glance.
Those songs, those cheers, those enthusiasm, pure and strong, were like a loud slap on Brady's face.
Brady was stunned for a moment. He did not expect such a situation at all. The huge psychological gap made Brady unable to adapt and stood there in a daze.
Regardless of victory or defeat, Brady will always be the protagonist, and the spotlight will always focus on Brady's reaction; but tonight. For the first time, no one cared about Brady, as if he was a loser, abandoned in a dark corner where no one paid attention.
At this moment, Brady felt the frustration and humiliation of failure like never before.
Because...he is indeed a loser.
Losers, from the outside in and out, all of them.
Grass.
After all, Brady couldn't hold it back and cursed loudly.
He took a deep breath and tried to control himself. The more he lost, the more he needed to maintain his dignity and pride. He would not and could not become a loser who "cannot afford to lose" in the eyes of the media, because the name "Tom Brady" represents It represents victory, represents the brand, and maintains a brand value of tens of millions of dollars.
He should be the winner, and he should face it with dignity even if he loses.
Angry and bitter?
Just stay in the locker room.
However, Brady almost lost control at this point, especially when he saw the rookie.
"Goat vs. Rookie." When such an issue came up, Brady smiled. He could see through the purpose behind the league's publicity planning at a glance——
Network traffic requires such gimmicks. The more exaggerated it is, the more topical it becomes.
A newbie?
He didn’t take Brady seriously at all. What is his status and what role is a rookie? It’s already a big deal for the two of them to be together and become a topic. The new generation rookie should be grateful. That's right.
But he never expected that the rookie "ignored" the existence of the goat, seemed to have never heard of the name "Tom Brady", and punched Brady hard in the stomach.
The media said that Brady was an unknown rookie back then, entering the league with the 199th overall pick in the seventh round. The physical test data and body photos from the rookie training camp are still a dark history that netizens ridicule to this day; however, Brady went from rookie to GOAT, accomplished an incredible feat, and will undoubtedly leave a huge mark in the history of the NFL.
Now, it's the turn of another rookie.
In this regard, Brady thinks it is humiliating himself. He and Levi? It shouldn’t be discussed in the same place at all, okay? Is Levi worthy?
But, now?
Not to mention whether the Kansas Chiefs can defend their title, but at least Levi has a three-win and one-loss lead in their head-to-head record, and has defeated Brady twice in the playoffs.
The peak showdown of "Manning VS Brady" has always been hailed as the iconic showdown of the NFL in the new century, and has continued all the way to the "GOAT" debate.
In regular season matches, Brady leads with 11 wins and six losses; in playoff matches, Manning leads with three wins and two losses.
Originally, Manning had been lagging behind in the regular season and playoffs during his time with the Indianapolis Colts; but after joining the Denver Broncos, he rose to prominence and shortened his playing record with Brady, especially since Manning's experience may have ruined his career. His performance after a career full of injuries is eye-catching. Moreover, in the regular season MVP selection, Manning won five times, not only leading Brady's three times, but also setting an unprecedented benchmark; not to mention quarterback data, as of 2018, Manning leads all NFL historical lists.
But in the GOAT debate, Brady has always been able to suppress Manning. The core reason is the number of Super Bowl championships. Brady's five championship rings surpassed Manning's two.
This is Brady's confidence and Brady's pride.
However, now, Brady has been attacked by Levi for two consecutive seasons, eliminated from the playoffs, and has no chance to continue to expand the lead gap in his Super Bowl championship ring. This is equivalent to Levi's overtaking in the area where Brady is most proud and confident.
In the past, Brady could still say from a high position, "How many rings do I have and how many rings does he have? What qualifications does he have to talk to me?" But now, the situation seems to be changing bit by bit.
Hard to accept.
Unknowingly and quietly, "GOAT VS Rookie" has now become a new topic in the league, and the GOAT is at a complete disadvantage.
Brady endured and endured, controlled and controlled, but this time he failed.
Grass. Hurry, hurry, hurry.
A series of swear words burst out of his chest. Brady rarely lost control in front of the camera, and his messy mind was filled with anger and shame.
If - just imagine, if the Kansas City Chiefs successfully defend their title, Levi's unstoppable momentum may become even more rampant. The main theme of the league next season should be "Can the rookie become the next GOAT?"
Levi's only been in the league for two seasons, for God's sake, okay? Two seasons!
Goat?
hehe.
It’s so bizarre, so unbelievable, but Brady knows that the media is such a virtue, and he can already foresee the overwhelming news on social networks.
But...if the Los Angeles Rams reach the Super Bowl, it will be a different story. The guy with only one championship ring gets out of the way and has no right to win in front of him.
Taking a deep breath, Brady finally regained some sense——
Shake hands with Mahomes first, then with Reid.
Finally, look for Levi among the bustling media.
The media reporters watched the excitement one by one and spontaneously opened a passage, just like the passage where the bride and groom meet at a wedding ceremony, spontaneously connecting Brady and Levi.
Levi:? ? ?
Levi was thanking the fans, but when he turned around, he saw a narrow path lined with people. What on earth were these people doing?
Then, Brady's figure appeared at the end of the passage.
this……
But Brady is already used to this situation. He knows that now the whole audience is paying attention, and he needs to show his perfect image.
Brady came to Levi with a smile on his face, shook hands politely, then leaned close to Levi's ear and whispered a devil amidst the roar of the audience.
"Super Bowl, good luck."
Meaningful.
In Brady's view, the Kansas Chiefs need a lot of luck; and Levi needs a lot of luck to defend his title.
"When a rookie becomes a goat", this is attention but also a burden. I hope that guy can withstand the crazy pressure of the media and the Internet to praise him collectively.
Brady means it.
