Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 996 Changing the direction of the wind
“Levi: Clenching your fist for so long that even unclenching it is painful.”

"Levi: We need to appreciate Andrew Luck's will and spirit to make a comeback in the 2018 season. We also need to appreciate Andrew Luck's determination and courage to turn around in the 2019 season."

"Levi: Sometimes, it takes the same courage to walk away as it does to fight to the end."

When the interviews were all over, the headlines of major news media showed:

One detail, are there any media outlets pursuing the Kansas City Chiefs locker room rumors?

No.

Netizens generally believed that it was a thing of the past and no one cared; but only the reporters themselves knew that Levi’s counterattack made them embarrassed, so who would expose themselves to such an extent?

It just so happens that all the news is focused on Lark, so...

Go with the flow.

From social networks to print media, Levi's face was everywhere.

After all, this was Levi’s first official appearance and first official interview after the frenzy on New York’s Fifth Avenue, and the media went crazy.

Levi's famous quotes can be seen everywhere, filling every corner of your vision.

And, in ESPN's "Inside the League" special program, Lawson expressed an opinion.

From Berry to Houston to Smith, in Levi's short two-season career, he has witnessed players struggle with injuries time and time again; and at the beginning of this year, Kansas City Chiefs' beloved fan Anne Gallas died of cancer, which became a wound in that city.

So, Levi knows very well what injuries mean.

With Levi's character, he is undoubtedly willing to fight head-on to the end. No matter what the outcome is, he is eager to leave all his energy on the field without reservation; but at the same time, Levi also deeply understands the helplessness and sigh of wanting to continue fighting but being unable to do anything and surrender.

In Lak, who was once a favored child of heaven, Levi saw the bitterness and sadness of fate, which is why Levi is willing to call Lak a "warrior".

As soon as the news came out, the entire social network was in an uproar and a wave of enthusiasm was rising.

The direction of public opinion has clearly changed.

The voices supporting Levi, responding to Levi, and recognizing Levi are rising strongly, and more and more netizens express their understanding and support for Lake's decision.

Maybe, Lake has been working hard, fighting, and trying, and he still hopes to continue fighting during the preseason.

He also felt reluctant to be retained by the Indianapolis Colts.

Lake also knows that he still owes the city of Indianapolis too much.

However, he was ultimately unable to hold on any longer and so he announced with a sigh that he was giving up.

The mess before him was a reflection of Lark's inner struggle.

By this point, the voices supporting and supporting Lak had completely gained the upper hand, completely turning the situation around, and the noise on social networks had finally subsided.

This scene is unbelievable——

Everything comes from Levi.

Levi now seems to have the appeal to change the direction of public opinion. Although the preparations made by other players and professionals cannot be ignored, Levi's heartfelt and empathetic words in the interview are highly contagious, which is the important force driving the shift in public opinion.

Afterwards, the teams spoke out.

All, including the Kansas City Chiefs, expressed respect for Luck's decision.

Finally, there are the Indianapolis Colts. In fact, the team has already sent their best wishes to Lacko as soon as possible, but now that the wind has changed, they are following the trend again and wishing Lacko all the best after his retirement.

It was noisy, lively and noisy, but in the end, it all came to an end - Lacko, as he said, disappeared completely from the football world.

He no longer served as a commentator, did not try to be a coach, did not appear in any TV shows or interview articles, and completely disappeared from the public eye.

Just like a comet, it streaked across the sky with great force and after burning all its energy, it disappeared completely from the night sky.

Lack had been living in Indianapolis, and later returned to his alma mater, Stanford University, to complete his studies and receive his diploma. He then moved to the Bay Area and settled there.

Lak attaches great importance to privacy. Not only does he not have any social network account, he even uses an old flip phone and refuses to use a smartphone.

It wasn't until many years later that a report from ESPN brought Lack back into the public eye.

Lack said that injury was undoubtedly the main reason for his retirement that year, but that was only part of the reason. Another key factor was his wife.

In March 2019, he and his girlfriend of many years got married, and then in June, he confirmed that his wife was pregnant and the two were about to welcome their first child.

However, becoming a top quarterback was not as easy as he imagined. He had to spend a lot of time on the training field and in the office, which put his marriage in crisis, especially when his wife was in the early stages of pregnancy.

The injury happened at that time, at the wrong time.

"Rather than choosing to retire because of injuries, it's more like between career and marriage, I chose the latter."

Lak told reporters.

Fortunately, there were no further problems in Lark's marriage.

The reason why this article attracted attention is mainly because Brady——

In 2022, Brady announced his retirement and officially bid farewell to the football field; however, this retirement only lasted for a few weeks, and Brady announced his comeback.

For Brady's wife Gisele Bundchen, she has been persuading Brady to retire for many years and they have had countless arguments. This time Brady's flip-flopping became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Not long after, Gisele Bundchen and Brady officially announced their divorce.

This incident made Brady the target of collective complaints on social networks, and in the following season, it became the best spice for everyone to attack Brady.

Between career and family, some people choose the former, while others choose the latter; sometimes women need to face challenges, while other times men need to face tests. Life is fair to everyone.

Time, pull back to the present.

Lak retired resolutely and without any regrets.

But the season continues and the preseason will not stop.

Subsequently, the Indianapolis Colts announced that backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett would take over the starting position.

He was selected by the New England Patriots with the 2016st pick in the third round in 2017, but joined the Indianapolis Colts as a backup in . That year, he played for the team in place of the injured Luck.

Something incredible happened.

Amid the chaos and shock, the Indianapolis Colts actually defeated the Cincinnati Bengals to win the final preseason game.

It was unexpected, 100% unexpected. Everyone thought that the Indianapolis Colts might be in chaos and their season would be over, but they proved one thing again.

In the NFL, anything is possible. Football is absolutely a team sport and no team will fall apart because of the lack of one player.

The Indianapolis Colts won, standing firm amid the chaos.

However, the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs lost again.
