Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1559 The world is spinning
"Brady should be going all out for the championship, right? He definitely won't accept losing to Levi willingly."

Who could have imagined that the 'goat vs. rookie' would end up like this?

"Brady is a thing of the past, sweep him up and throw him in the trash. Next up is the era of Levi and Mahomes."

"Brady can't refuse to accept his age. If he plays against the Kansas City Chiefs on another team, he'll have even less of a chance."

"Brady didn't expect that the GOAT, which was already in his grasp, would actually face a direct challenge. What kind of GOAT is it if it can't defeat Levi?"

"If Brady's reputation is ruined in his later years, maybe he should just retire?"

"I pick the San Francisco 49ers. The Shanahan and Brady duo should be able to beat the Kansas City Chiefs. They were so close to the Super Bowl this year, weren't they?"

Brady. Brady. Still Brady.

After a long absence, Brady has once again captured the public eye, rightfully becoming the face of the league, but... this time it doesn't seem to be so pleasant.

All the storms originated from Levi, even though Levi wasn't present and had nothing to do with the whole incident. Brady's name was always associated with Levi, as if Brady's break, departure, turnaround, and refusal to retire all stemmed from Levi.

But...did I say something wrong?
The bustling discussions spread to every corner of the internet, and the entire social network was caught in a storm.

"So, who's next?"

Who is Brady transferring to?

"@San Francisco 49ers, is it really that quiet?"

It's not just the San Francisco 49ers; all the teams in the league currently lacking a quarterback are being rumored to be missing out, and nobody wants to miss out on this celebration.

People initially thought the spectacle would continue for some time, but to their utter surprise, the situation took a dramatic turn in less than ten hours—

Only ten hours?

On ESPN's "Within the League," Butt is once again in the spotlight. But this time, not as a "Lee Weinstein hater," but as a paparazzi.

"I was told by the birds that Brady is about to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers."

They made solemn vows and spoke with absolute certainty.

However, no one believed it. Social networks generally considered Bart's rumors to be no different from the thousands of other rumors circulating online, all of which were baseless speculations and noise with limited reference value.

Bart looked aggrieved. "Believe me. Really. Believe me,"

Unfortunately, Bart's already depleted reputation couldn't help at all; instead, it only drew criticism and ridicule, leaving Bart looking utterly dejected.

However, two hours later, around midnight or early morning, everyone except the owls was already asleep in their beds.

Ian Rapoport and Tom Pellicerro posted their messages on social media platforms just seconds apart.

"According to inside sources, Tom Brady has reached a deal with the Tampa Bay Pirates for $50 million over two years."

Buzzing, buzzing—

Silence fell.

The scene was like an atomic bomb detonation; the noise and impact far exceeded the body's tolerance, and everything vanished into nothingness, completely losing the ability to react. There was a full three-second pause, and no one could react.

Bart: See! I told you so!
Then, boom!

A full-blown explosion has occurred. Tampa Bay pirates? It's actually Tampa Bay pirates?!

What about the 49 men from San Francisco? Were they just a smokescreen, or did Brady choose the Tampa Bay pirates over the other option? Or was Brady giving Gallopolo a way out?
Wait, is it possible that everything we're seeing now is an illusion, and things could still change? It's not the Tampa Bay Pirates, it's not the San Francisco 49ers, but another dark horse emerging, and everything is under Brady's control? Even NFL reporters might be wrong?

A jumble of conflicting thoughts flooded my mind.

then.

When Gallopolo went out in his pajamas to take out the trash, he opened the door and was greeted by a barrage of flashing lights and countless microphones that seemed ready to be shoved into his mouth. The cacophony of noise instantly filled his brain, until all the sounds disappeared, leaving only a buzzing sound.

Gallopolo: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Gallopolo's disheveled hair and innocent, bewildered expression went viral on social media, with journalists making full use of their ability to tell stories from pictures.

"Gallopolo looked haggard and had been suffering from insomnia for many days. His future was uncertain, and he tossed and turned, unable to sleep."

"The Tampa Bay pirates may be a smokescreen; Gallopolo's fate remains uncertain."

"Gallopolo is bewildered and lost, but Brady may still be able to take control of his life."

While it might be understandable for the media to surround Gallopolo, given that the San Francisco 49ers did indeed join the race, it makes no sense for reporters to appear at Levi's doorstep.

In fact, Li Wei maintained his usual composure in the face of encirclement and suppression, appearing calm and collected, with an expression of enjoying the spectacle.

"Remember to let me know when there are updates. I don't have time to read the newspaper during the latest training, so I'm counting on you guys. The uncrowned kings, a great group of people."

"Oh yeah!"

Reporter: ...Why do they feel humiliated, but they have no evidence?

Finally, someone pressed on, "Professor, do you think Brady could be a threat to you next season?"

Li Wei turned around and, under the gaze of thousands of flashing lights, revealed a big smile: "I have many opponents, too many to count, but I only have one real opponent, and that is myself."

Full of confidence, upright and dignified, he didn't even need to raise his voice to speak with authority.

Five minutes later, a keyword suddenly appeared on the social media trending list—

"Brady is no match for me."

With a thunderous roar, a show about Brady unexpectedly brought the spotlight back to Levi, something no one had anticipated.

Shock, impact, heated discussion, a massive uproar.

On social media, everyone is discussing why it was the Tampa Bay pirates.
With a top-tier receiving team in the league, including players like Mike Evans and Chris Goldwin, Brady's predicament of lacking top passing targets has finally been resolved for the New England Patriots.

Last season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers invited legendary coach Bruce Arians, who had been retired for two years, to return to coaching. Arians was a two-time NFL Coach of the Year and led the Arizona Cardinals from a slump to the top from the 2013 to 2017 seasons.

Despite being part of the Pittsburgh Steelers' Super Bowl victory as part of their coaching staff in 2005, he has always been hailed as one of the most respected head coaches in the league without a championship title.

Unlike Belichick, Arrians is a mild-mannered coach who is willing to trust his quarterbacks and delegate some tactical decision-making authority, which perfectly suits Brady's needs.

Most importantly, the Tampa Bay Pirates' management promised Brady that he would have the power to participate in discussions and decisions in free agency and the draft.

Last season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers went 7-9 and failed to make the playoffs; but they are a talented and promising team, and with a great coach and enough influence, Brady believes that this is the right path to the Super Bowl, not the San Francisco 49ers.

Shanahan: Thank you, I was offended.
