Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 232 Hot Discussions
NFL headquarters building, 345 Park Avenue, Manhattan, New York.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, the entire Manhattan jungle of steel spreads out before your eyes, and it seems as if the entire world is under your feet.

Roger Goodell held a cup of coffee and took in the scenery in front of him. The desk behind him was filled with newspapers and magazines. The slightly messy desktop showed that he had just finished reading them all. At this moment, a satisfied expression appeared on his face, and his eyes were full of confidence and longing.

The weather. Convenient location. People and.

All conditions are just right——

Just last month, on August 21st, the NFL signed a three-year exclusive broadcasting rights cooperation agreement with China's Penguin Live.

Naturally, this agreement was not achieved overnight. As early as 2015, Penguin Sports began to contact the NFL to discuss the possibility of cooperation. The twists and turns and discussions were not that simple. It was not until the first half of this year that a breakthrough was made and hope was seen.

Levi appeared at such a time.

In fact, the influence of a player is limited; moreover, the NFL is different from the NCAA. Countless NCAA geniuses are unable to adapt to the professional arena and die early like the wounded Zhongyong. Whether it is the NFL or Penguin Sports, they cannot put their chips on a rookie.

But at the same time, they cannot deny the importance of an entry point, just like when Nvzhao Riyue entered the NBA, this will become a beginning, a base point and a turning point. As long as it is accompanied by proper publicity, the promotion of rugby in the Chinese market will be able to gain a strong position.

"Rookie vs. Goat".

Such a topic is indeed ridiculous. Anyone with a little common sense knows that this confrontation makes no sense at all.

However, competitive sports require such absurdity.

This is the breaking point.

As a result, Levi lived up to everyone's expectations. Not only did he successfully complete his professional career debut, but he also incredibly pushed the impact of the absurd topic to a new high.

There is a bright future ahead.

Goodell expressed great satisfaction.

There is no doubt that Levi will be the main face of the NFL this season, and this will also be a crucial step for the NFL to move into the global market.

knock knock.

There was a knock at the door, and after getting Goodell's affirmative response, three staff members from the marketing department came in.

Goodell welcomed us with a cup of coffee, and without further ado, got straight to the point.

"Levi."

"We need to stir up the topic even more. When the next game comes, I need his name, face and figure to be all over social networks."

"And now, the topic of him and the New England Patriots is still not enough. Not only our official account, I need other media to discuss it as well."

It was concise and clear, and immediately a professional asked, "Is it all positive news?"

Goodell laughed. "No, no, no, no, propaganda should not be carried out like this."

"It's too biased to say it's all praise or all criticism. One-sided discussions will quickly lose their heat. We need controversy and opposition."

"Yes, praise should prevail, but criticism should not be stifled. We need to allow different viewpoints to collide and have a full range of discussions."

"Then, everything leads to the second week of the game, and we need to lay the groundwork now to create a focus for the next game."

The intention couldn't be clearer.

It took them four months to hype up the topic of "Rookies vs. Goats", and now they are ready to enter the next stage of daily operations.

One professional expressed concern, “But what if Levi loses in Week 2?”

Goodell is not worried. "Winning means the emergence of genius; losing means the tempering on the road to greatness. Winning or losing is not important. What is important is to keep the topic hot."

"As for the game..." Goodell paused, savoring the aroma of coffee, "Let's wait and see what Levi can bring."

After all, not every player can achieve greatness; but at least, on the road to greatness, before achieving greatness, they can create enough impact and benefits.

Professional sports are about competition, contest and challenge, but also more than that.

Bustling and noisy——

Focus, all lines gathered.

An invisible force is quietly pushing the hot topic, which was already at the forefront of the storm, to a full-scale explosion.

Even Brady has become fuel to the fire, let alone his fellow rookies in the 2017 class?

"Everyone says that the top three candidates must be good. Now that the third place candidate has taken the lead, then..."

Originally, this year's draft has attracted countless attention. Whether it is the Cleveland Browns' deception, the Kansas City Chiefs' fierce operation, or the Chicago Bears' endurance of humiliation, there are constant topics, so that the controversy over the first round of the draft has continued until the preseason.

At the beginning of the season, Levi emerged out of nowhere and set an incredible benchmark. Naturally, the pressure on other rookies increased sharply, and their knees trembled.

McCaffrey, running back, the eighth pick in the first round, rushed for 47 yards, caught a pass for 38 yards, and had a fumble recovery.

Although the Carolina Panthers won the game smoothly, McCaffrey, who once had his way in the NCAA, was shocked and taught a lesson in the first game of his career.

In the post-match interview, McCaffrey also frankly stated, "I still have a lot to learn. I think Levi has set a good example. He has proved that rookie running backs can also perform well in professional games. He is my goal. I hope to follow in his footsteps and find my own state."

The sincere and humble speech won McCaffrey a lot of goodwill.

Moreover, McCaffrey also said, "I will call Levi and ask him for the secret of learning the tactical manual. God, I really feel like a fool. I have left college, but I still need to review my homework every day. Maybe I need some extracurricular tutoring from Levi."

It can be heard from their conversation that McCaffrey and Levi have a good personal relationship.

There is no harm without comparison.

Compared with McCaffrey, Fournette became the target of public criticism.

Fournette, a running back, the fourth pick in the first round, rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown.

Objectively speaking, these data are really good, not only for a rookie, but also for a starting running back.

And, the Jacksonville Jaguars won, and that’s all that matters.

At the beginning of the year, the Jacksonville Jaguars rushed to select Fournette after missing Levi, so much so that fans strongly condemned the team manager Caldwell; but now it seems that this was not a bad choice.

The problem is-

Levi.

Compared with Levi, Fournette's performance suddenly became dull.

"Cardwell's heart aches. If he hadn't been snatched away by the Kansas Chiefs..."

"Frustrated. Regretful. Regretful. But it's useless. The Jacksonville Jaguars missed Levi and missed 100 million."

"After the NCAA, Levi once again proved that he is a better running back than Fournette."

Fournette was simply being stabbed in the spine and ignored, an ignoring that was worse than scolding and cursing.

Fournet: ??? What did I do to offend anyone? Why did you pick on me instead of scolding the top and second place winners? What kind of logic is this?

Then, when Fournet checked, he was dumbfounded.
