Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 606 Secret Base
The vehicle moves forward in the night.

Clark looked at Levi who was concentrating on driving in the driver's seat. It didn't feel real at all. It was hard to imagine that Levi was still the Levi in ​​his memory.

He is brilliant and the center of everyone's attention. He is undoubtedly the most valuable player in the Kansas City Chiefs team, and one of the few in the league.

However, he remains down-to-earth and approachable, as if nothing has changed except the passage of time.

"Grandmaster?"

"Ok?"

“So, how did you come up with the idea of ​​becoming a coach?”

Clark was stunned and laughed, "You have been holding back until now. I thought you would ask as soon as we met."

Li Wei shrugged lightly, "Continuing to play football is a dream, returning to work from nine to five is also a dream, and choosing to start a family in the face of daily life is also a dream. I don't think anyone's dream is greater than anyone else's. Everyone is living with their heart, and everyone deserves respect."

"Man, I hope to continue to see you at football games, but I'd be just as happy to see you somewhere else. How could I forget those games, right?"

Clark thought of how all the Kansas City Chiefs staff members praised Levi. It wasn't deliberate compliments, but the appreciation and recognition were revealed inadvertently. Now he understood the reason. Levi never put himself in a superior position. This was the key.

But that's Levi, isn't it?

Clark couldn't help but smile, "Remember the wild card game?"

"Titan."

"Yes, you and Derrick Henry, our two Heisman Trophy winners and the figures who have left their names in the history of the Crimson Tide, actually met in the professional playoffs. Naturally, we couldn't miss it. In fact, we watched the game together."

"Wait, if it's the wild card game, that would be the weekend of the U.S. Championships, right?"

"Yeah, we're going to play Georgia soon, but no one wants to miss your game. That game, wow, even if I close my eyes now, I'm still excited."

"No way, there's still the conference finals and the Super Bowl to come."

Levi joked, but Clarke was serious, "It's true."

"In my opinion, that game was the turning point for the team. You were standing on the edge of a cliff, and you might have to face the shadow of losing the first game of the playoffs again. The inner demon weighed heavily on everyone, including Coach Reid."

“But you didn’t give up.”

The simple words were full of excitement and enthusiasm, and Levi was also deeply moved. "That's because I have never experienced it. I don't believe in any curses or nightmares."

Clark shrugged. "Maybe. But at the same time, you also told us to never doubt our dreams. They have power beyond imagination. That night, I knew my dream. I still hope to continue to deal with football. This is still the source of my passion."

"Maybe I can get a job, maybe I can't, and then I have to be a mechanic like Kurt Warner and run around to make a living."

"But I still want to try."

People who have dreams can see the stars and the sea in their eyes. No matter how big or small the dream is, or whether it can be realized, they are all different.

Levi glanced at Clark through the rearview mirror, "That makes you special, Master."

Clark laughed out loud. "Is the 10,001st assistant in the league who dreams of becoming a running backs coach as special as that?"

Levi said calmly, "Who knows, if my career is long enough, maybe one day I can play for the team where you are the head coach; if my career is not that long, I may play for the team where you are the offensive coordinator."

"Please, if you want to dream, you have to dream big."

Clark was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe his ears, but looking at Levi, imagining the scene, he couldn't help but get excited. Levi looked at Clark who was caught in the shock, and shook his head slightly to express his disappointment, "Master, pick up the gag. You should say that compared to your dream of becoming a head coach, my dream of persisting for that long is an unattainable dream."

Clark smiled, "Then I should work hard as soon as possible and strive to become the head coach before you retire."

Laughter surged in the carriage.

In other words, the destination has been reached during this conversation.

Just a little while.

Although it is a city, the busy and lively area in the center of Kansas City is only the size of a palm, and it takes only 20 minutes to travel through the entire city.

Clark couldn't help but be curious. He leaned out of the car window and exclaimed, "Old Oak Tavern, I know this place."

Levi, "All Chiefs players and fans know that every game day, it's as lively here as Arrowhead Stadium."

Clark is a self-disciplined person. He knows that he still has a lot of shortcomings as a coaching assistant. The reason he was able to come to the NFL from the NCAA was entirely because of Burns. In order not to embarrass Burns and not to embarrass Levi, he devotes 100% of his time to team work.

Spare time?

what is that?
Not to mention his spare time, even when he was eating or going to the bathroom, he was still studying tactics. Except for taking a shower and sleeping, Clark was completely devoted to work.

Therefore, the Old Oak Tavern always lives on in legend.

Levi had anticipated this, and after studying the game video today, he brought Clark here.

Just like tactics and professionalism, understanding team culture and fan culture is actually an integral part of a professional team.

Standing at the door, Clark looked around the bar—

Slightly disappointed.

It was an ordinary bar. The letter "K" on the name "The-Old-Oak" had fallen off and was hanging crookedly by a thread. The mottled red paint on the facade had long faded and fallen off in the wind and rain, and the gray brick walls looked dim and dangerous.

Even the windows were covered with dust.

That's it?

Honestly, if Clark drove by, he wouldn't have stopped at all. Is this inconspicuous place a mecca for Kansas City Chiefs fans?

Clark did not say these words out loud. He himself came from a small town and he knew the heavy blow caused by the economic crisis after 2008.

Although there is some recovery now, it is mainly in the big cities on the East Coast and the West Coast. These cities and small towns in the Midwest have been emptied one after another. The young people who went to the big cities to survive during the economic crisis have never come back, and these cities have never recovered.

Levi noticed Clark's expression, but said nothing -

Such a scene just proves what this pub has gone through in the past half century, which is why it can bring fans together.

Before I could even enter the room, I saw West pushing the door open, holding a huge food waste bin, his face flushed and sweating profusely.

Levi took the initiative to greet, "Hey, do you need any help?"

West looked up and saw Levi in ​​the night. He was startled and the trash can in his hand almost flew out. A tragedy was about to happen.
