Chapter 610 Looking forward to tomorrow
Levi has always believed that fans are the soul of a sport.
Look at football.
The enthusiasm and loyalty of those fans, the encouragement and support of those fans made football evolve from a simple sports activity to the number one sport in the world, deeply entangled with the community, life and culture, and finally evolved into It is the spiritual belief of countless ordinary people.
Football, same thing.
From Tuscaloosa to Kansas City, Levi deeply felt the sport’s inseparable relationship with the entire city and local residents.
He has always believed that the team and the fans are in a mutually supportive relationship.
If possible, Levi is willing to do something to return these simple and sincere people.
Sincerely.
West's chest was filled with a hot current, but he didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment in words——
Sure enough, when the book is used, it will be regretted.
I didn't read much, so I still had no confidence. I didn't know how to express myself except for saying "thank you". I was just full of passion and wanted to dig out my heart and let Li Wei see it.
"Ah, by the way, there is one thing!"
Finally, West remembered.
"Old Anderson!"
"God, old Anderson should still be in the tavern now and has not left for the time being. He should be very happy to see you, very, very happy."
"Well, I'm not sure he'd recognize you, though."
"I mean, he probably wouldn't recognize anyone, he wouldn't even recognize David..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, West regretted them.
The idea was good; but he completely forgot about Alzheimer's disease.
No one knows when the attack will occur, and no one knows the state of the attack. If the brain is confused, no one will recognize it.
In the case of Anderson Sr., if you asked him about the Kansas Chiefs' lineup 20 years ago, he would probably tell you everything he knew. But with the lineup in recent years, short-term memory has been inconsistent.
The rookie in front of me...
If I couldn't recognize him, wouldn't the scene be embarrassing?
Levi didn't care.
"It doesn't matter if you don't recognize him. It's an honor for me to be able to talk to an elder who loves rugby. I still have a lot to learn about rugby."
Levi's face was calm. Even though he was the Super Bowl MVP, he still admitted that he was still a novice in the football field.
With that said, Levi patted West on the shoulder, pushed open the door of the tavern and walked in without pausing.
roar!
The night was wrapped in a strong wind and blew into the house. Someone immediately shouted, and it spread like a prairie fire in an instant.
Hoo, ho, ho.
It was not a heartbreaking shout, but a low shout like the indigenous war song of Iceland. The uniform shouts naturally released a wave of energy like a volcano. The soles of the feet could clearly feel the vibrations coming from the ground, shaking mightily. The whole world.
Even standing at the door, you can clearly feel the madness of the pub.
West stood there blankly, his heart beating hard against his chest uncontrollably, calm but powerful, and the surge of energy was released instantly.
I looked down at the trash can at my feet, and then looked up at the bright moonlit sky in Kansas City. A moon hung in the sky, and the stars in the sky were shining like the Milky Way. My mood suddenly became brighter.
Dreams make life bearable.
It turns out that after nightfall, it is like starting to look forward to tomorrow.
hey-hey.
With a chuckle, West bent down and picked up the trash can again, and got busy again. …
The 2018 season has officially kicked off.
In the season opener, the topic of "Kansas Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers" undoubtedly swept the screen easily and quietly set a record.
In 2002, the NFL officially introduced the concept of a season opener, with the defending champion opening the season every year in the hope of boosting ratings.
However, the special status of the opening game has never been highlighted.
Fans are still fans, and they will continue to support their team’s games; fans and neutral fans choose games based on the topic——
Opening game?
So what?
Over the years, the ratings of the opening game have been high and low. In the final analysis, it comes down to the appeal of the game itself.
The highest viewership to date was the 2010 season, when the New Orleans Saints faced off against the Minnesota Vikings, attracting 27 million viewers.
Last season, the Kansas Chiefs' away game against the New England Patriots aroused the general public's attention because of the topic of "Rookies VS Goats" and attracted much attention. In the end, 25 million people watched the game.
This year, although the topic is still lively and bustling discussions continue, it has dropped significantly compared with last season. After all, the Pittsburgh Steelers are not the New England Patriots, and the topic of Bell's strike is not as topical as Brady's meeting the challenge of a newcomer.
The general view is that the ratings may fall back.
However, reality brings a huge surprise——
The number of viewers exceeded 30 million.
This data created a record high and became the first game in the history of the NFL to exceed the 30 million viewership threshold in September.
Shocking! Impact! surprise!
Totally unexpected.
The reasons are complicated and there are countless possibilities; but judging from the popularity of the topic on social networks after the game, the Kansas Chiefs play an important role——
young. youth. Vigorous.
With sophomores and third-year players as the main force, they are like a breath of fresh air, successfully setting off a new youth storm in the NFL. They are not afraid to face traditional strong teams such as the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers, and have maintained a record of four games so far. A complete victory and undoubtedly becoming the favorite of young people.
What's more, the performance of Levi and Mahomes, two rookies of the same class, in this opening game is really eye-catching.
"Levi Mahomes" scored a historic touchdown for the first time in history and came out of the circle with a strong force. The incredible combination of a running back who is not a running back and a quarterback who is not a quarterback sparked discussion. Following the Super Bowl at the beginning of the year, "Chiefs Special" "Provide" once again overturned the situation, detonated the Internet, and set the tone of the opening game in one fell swoop.
The castle of the "Kansas City Twins" spread like wildfire.
The defending champion's good start was more eye-catching than imagined.
While the out-of-the-ring index exploded, the "Chiefs Special" undoubtedly became the focus of heated discussion throughout the league. Then, the innocent Brady was shot again.
This time, reporters cannot be blamed, because star players from all teams in the league have been interviewed and everyone is discussing it. Naturally, Brady cannot be missed. The reporters have absolutely no intention of targeting Brady.
It's just...the problem is, it's not that friendly.
"Tom, Kansas didn't use the 'Chiefs Special' against New England. What do you think is the reason for this?"
The subtext is: You are not worthy.
Brady immediately sensed that there was something in the reporter's words. The smile he kept on his lips almost broke through his defense. He used all his strength to control himself, "I don't know. Maybe they were too nervous and scared that they forgot?"
"hehe."
There was a needle hidden in the cotton, and Brady also hit back head-on.
However!
The reporter still refused to give up and asked the next question aggressively and relentlessly.
"You lost to Levi twice in a row. Do you have any psychological shadow on him now?"
