Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1407 Cooperate with the performance
"Watson is going crazy."

The Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans were the first to know about this incident, and the league also received first-hand information and realized the seriousness of the situation.

Although this is Watson's personal situation, and the league has repeatedly confirmed that it has nothing to do with alcohol or drugs, it is purely a mental breakdown.

But things are not that simple.

The main quarterback of the conference finals team, the young quarterback representing the new generation of the league, became mentally ill after losing a game?
From the perspective of the team and the league, this is not a good look. If you are not careful, it may be linked to "concussion" again.

Those negative voices will inevitably continue to haunt the potential sports injuries that rugby players suffer from continuous collisions. More than one player has suffered mental disorders after retiring - Watson is not the first. Not only does he have to face incurable injuries on the physical level, but he also has to face difficult-to-heal scars on the mental level.

Now, not only retired players but active players also need to be vigilant?
Although the league is 99.99% sure that this incident has nothing to do with concussion, and Watson has been playing under pressure throughout the game but has not actually suffered many collisions, it is purely Watson's personal psychological ability to withstand pressure that is unbalanced; but the league knows that those opposing voices will definitely take advantage of the issue.

Putting this matter aside for the moment, the Super Bowl is imminent, and the Kansas City Chiefs have successfully advanced. No matter who wins the NFC champion, the Huashan Contest will surely be exciting and worth looking forward to, and it will be a perfect end to the season. The last thing the league needs now is unnecessary distractions that divert attention.

Various. Various.

The alliance realized they needed to block the news.

Goodell wasn’t in Kansas City, where Goodell was confident this year, so he headed to San Francisco with his eyes on another Combine final.

But after learning about the situation, Goodell demonstrated his ability, making the call immediately and making arrangements.

From the Houston Texans to the Kansas City Chiefs, from media reporters to Levi and Watt, every key link is covered without omission.

Of course, Goodell knows that in the age of smartphones, it is impossible to block the news 100%, but they can control the damage within an acceptable range, and all this requires the cooperation of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Whether it is the Kansas City Chiefs players led by Levi, or the audience at Arrowhead Stadium, it is impossible to control the damage without the cooperation of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Team manager Veach believes that cooperating with the league at this critical juncture will do more good than harm.

Moreover, what is really brilliant about Vic is that he agreed straightforwardly without taking advantage of the situation to make demands or exchange interests.

Because Vecchi knew that threatening the league at a time when they needed to unite against the outside world was a low-level approach. It might work, but it might also make Goodell secretly hate it. Now that time was running out, it was crucial for them to unite to solve the problem, actively cooperate with the action, and do the league a favor.

Such value is obviously much more precious.

then.

This scene appeared.

At the post-match press conference, hidden among a pile of questions, reporters did not forget Watson's situation, and Levi showed his usual calmness.

Hypothermia and dehydration.

This is the official answer. Not only Levi, but also the Houston Texans have the same answer. The difference is that the Houston Texans are more detailed:
They said Watson had a high fever, was talking nonsense, was in poor condition, and had signs of flu, so Watson went to the hospital immediately.

However, the reporter did not believe it because Watson's performance seemed crazy and it did not look like he had a high fever. The situation was not that simple.

Amid questioning and siege, Levi retreated to advance, "You have stumped me. I am not a team doctor and I have not been lurking in the Houston Texans locker room. So, if you want a definite answer from me, I may not be able to help you." The key to persuasiveness lies in the difference between truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth.

If they all give the same story, anyone with a discerning eye will know that the answers are concocted, which will be counterproductive and will arouse the curiosity of reporters to uncover the truth.

Sure enough, Levi's teasing successfully caused low laughter in the press conference room.

Levi then continued to add.

"Believe me, when you go through a four-hour intense match, you leave everything you have on the court without reservation, your brain is completely emptied, you may not know what you are saying at all, and your brain can't function properly. This feeling is real."

"Honestly, I'm worried that I'm talking nonsense now. My palms are sweaty."

Ha, I can't control my laughter.

"But I think my overall situation today should be better than JJ's." The double entendre not only teased Watt, but also complained about the Houston Texans' offensive team's lack of help.

Hahahaha! Burst into laughter!

There was not only laughter, but also applause and whistles. Seeing Levi mercilessly criticize Watson, the authenticity of the previous explanations soared.

Moreover, and most importantly, all the top authoritative media have already informed us. Reporters will ask relevant questions but will not pursue the matter relentlessly. Reporters will not pretend not to see the elephant in the room but will not dig deep and apply the emergency brakes when they reach a certain level of digging.

You know it, I know it, everyone knows it, everyone knows it, but no one exposes it.

As for what happened to Watson in private, these reporters naturally have channels to find out. Maybe they won't reveal the news now, but there will be no restrictions after the Super Bowl. Reporters can take action at any time if they want to reveal the truth, or they can leave a handle and wait for the right opportunity to announce it.

So, when Levi showed his wit and responded with a decisive move, the reporters who had dug a little deeper knew when to stop and did not continue to ask questions, and he rarely tried to sow discord or fan the flames, the atmosphere in the press conference room was more relaxed than ever.

Then, a reporter asked, "Today's game was more intense than expected. The Kansas City Chiefs have faced tough battles in the playoffs this year. After a challenging season, how is the team's physical reserve? What impact will it have on the Super Bowl in two weeks?"

Everything was seamless and perfect, and the topic naturally turned from Watson to the Kansas City Chiefs.

"We'll be ready," Levi said. "I mean, since you're asking in public, even if our knees are shaking right now, we're going to grit our teeth and say everything is fine."

Haha, laughter, all over the place, even applause and whistles——

After all, the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers are both eyeing it.

Then, changing the subject, Levi continued, "Of course, this is not too far from the truth."

“We knew we were a target.”

"It was clear from the beginning of the season, after all, you did everything you could to make sure we celebrated the fact that the theme throughout the season was to beat the Kansas City Chiefs, and even if we covered our ears, there was no escape."

Li Wei stared straight at the reporters at the scene, his eyes seemed to say: Everyone here is a murderer.
