Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 508: Deviating from the Script
“…I don’t like football.”

Justin Timberlake looked at Levi seriously and raised his hands in surrender, but there was no apology in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, although it's a bit rude, but the fact is that I like basketball. The whole Los Angeles knows that I often appear at Staples Center."

Timberlake was so serious that even Mahomes and Kelce's smiles became a little stiff, as if they didn't know how to respond.

But Levi was not panicked——

Putting aside the fact that Timberlake is well-known for his sense of humor, his tactfulness can be seen from the greeting just now.

How could such a person specially invite guests to come and then slap him in the face? What's more, tonight was originally the time for the Kansas Chiefs.

Levi met Timberlake's gaze with a concerned expression, "Why, is it because of psychological trauma? You must have worked hard tonight's performance. Congratulations on overcoming the psychological trauma. So, you can enjoy football to your heart's content from now on. Congratulations."

Timberlake: ...

suffocated.

In 2004, at the th Super Bowl halftime show, top superstar Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson's sister, was the guest performer. She invited Timberlake, who had just gone solo from 'N Sync, to sing a song with her.

At the end of the performance, Timberlake suddenly reached out to Jackson's left chest and tore off half of the leather bra on that side without warning, resulting in an R-rated moment on the national live broadcast. Because of the powerful influence of the Super Bowl, this incident caused a sensation.

Afterwards, it even triggered an official investigation by the FBI, which became the famous "Super Bowl Incident."

Although both Jackson and Timberlake responded, the truth was not clarified but became a mystery.

Some people said it was Jackson's self-promotion, some said it was a performance that Jackson and Timberlake had rehearsed and conspired in advance, some said it was a pure accident, and some said it was a small prank by Timberlake that turned into a vicious incident.

Etc., etc.

However, the result was obvious. Janet Jackson suffered years of unofficial low-key treatment and her career never recovered. Timberlake, on the other hand, was doing well. Although he missed the Grammy Awards a month later, he still won the trophy and his career is booming. In addition, all live television broadcasts in the United States are required to be delayed by at least thirty seconds or even one minute to give TV stations time to deal with unexpected accidents.

The influence is always there.

This year, after fourteen years, Timberlake returned to the Super Bowl halftime show, but Jackson had already fallen to the eighteenth tier.

It is precisely because of this that after the NFL announced the halftime show performers, Timberlake was once again besieged by the media, and the league was no exception.

Some media even questioned the NFL whether it was still banning Jackson, and the NFL had to respond, "There is no ban."

Timberlake also said in an interview that he had been trying to save Jackson's career, but unfortunately to no avail, and his words revealed regret and remorse.

This also indirectly confirmed the speculation that this was a sudden action by Timberlake alone, a purely personal prank, but it triggered unimaginable chain reactions.

Later, in 2021, Timberlake publicly admitted for the first time that the Super Bowl incident was his fault and publicly apologized.

Levi, who had never watched a football game, naturally knew nothing about this. Although he heard a little about it in 2004 because the news was so sensational, the Internet was not well developed at that time and he did not care, so he only heard about it and did not have much understanding of the ins and outs.

After the Super Bowl performers were announced this year, the matter became a hot topic in the media again. Kelsey enthusiastically answered his questions and taught him a good lesson. Only then did he realize that there was such a section and that it led to a historic change in the rules of live television broadcasts in the United States.

but!

Kelsey didn't expect that Levi would actually joke with Timberlake in person.

I want to laugh, but I can't.

Kelsey was having a hard time trying to hold back her laughter. However, Levi looked so sincere that Timberlake never expected that his usual way of joking would actually make him suffer.

At a glance, Timberlake could see the mischievous gleam in Levi's eyes--

Obviously, he did it on purpose.

then.

A figure appeared from behind, put his arm around Timberlake's waist, and looked at Levi with a smile on his face, "Levi, thank you, finally someone can let Justin be quiet for a while."

If that’s not Timberlake’s wife Jessica-Biel, who is she?
Levi showed a slightly surprised expression, "So, I got official permission? Justin, I'm sorry, you can't retaliate."

Ha ha ha ha.

Curry was the first one who couldn't hold back his laughter. Mahomes and Kelce were also finally relieved. It was obvious that they had been trying very hard to hold back their laughter.

Timberlake didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Man, you don't play by the rules."

Timberlake patted Levi on the shoulder. "According to the plan, I should have said that I don't like football, then paused to create suspense and make the atmosphere awkward before speaking again. But you made me like football, so you can applaud and whistle. You didn't follow the script."

Levi looked innocent, "Sorry, I didn't read the script in advance. As expected, I am not suitable for the Wu Ju Shang attack."

Hilarious, hilarious.

Even Timberlake had to give Levi a thumbs up.

The party was still as loud and noisy as ever, with everyone immersed in their own little world. However, those who had not yet lost consciousness due to alcohol could feel that Timberlake was having a great time chatting with a group of Kansas City Chiefs players, and that corner was undoubtedly the absolute center of the party.

It was precisely because of this that when Levi and the others dispersed, other guests approached one after another and greeted them one after another.

"Knock knock, give me a soda water, please."

After a lot of effort, Levi finally found an excuse to get away. He took a breath, went to the bar, and shouted loudly to the bartender. He felt like his throat was on fire.

The bar was a bit crowded.

There was a figure on the left who seemed to be patiently waiting for the bartender's work. When he heard Levi's words, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

"Soda? You don't look like a good kid at all."

Levi turned his head and looked over, revealing a pair of bright big eyes. Even though she was wearing a loose white T-shirt, one could still see her surging and proud curves. Her long dark brown hair drooped lazily and casually, and the sexiness she inadvertently revealed was like a little wild cat, easily catching one's attention.

Levi smiled in response, "It seems that the bad boy image I carefully created was successful."

what.

The woman smiled cheerfully, "Why, are you going to play the role of the wolf grandmother who scares the children to tears?"

Levi spread his hands, "Hey, this is better than being a pitiful little red riding hood that tempts others to commit crimes, right?"

"Haha." The woman laughed heartily. "So, Grandma Wolf isn't worried about being seen by others when she drinks soda?"

"Shh. Please keep it a secret." Levi went with the flow, "Now that you have a handle on me, I think we should be able to coexist peacefully from now on."
