Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1556 - 1555: Shifting the World

DeShaun Watson?

Wait, Watson? Why is this guy getting involved in this Houston Texans mess? Does he think it’s not chaotic enough?

What’s going on in that shit-stirrer’s head?

Things have gotten to this point, and everything is in chaos, even seasoned professional reporters can’t accurately predict what’s coming next.

Ian Rapoport, an official reporter for the NFL, and also the first to report last year about Li Wei completing a contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs.

As always, diligently and methodically updating the news on social media platforms, just like his usual work, no big bold letters, no highlighted marks, everything as usual.

However, it is precisely this routine that, amidst the tidal waves of Kansas City Chiefs renewing Mahomes and Houston Texans trading Hopkins at a low price, casts a stone, and as the ripples spread, all waves and storms gradually subside, not because of peace, but because of the shock and impact sinking deep into the soul, paralyzing the entire brain, witnessing the madness with stunned silence.

Ian Rapoport, "Sources reveal, Tom Brady will not renew his contract with the New England Patriots, his free agent market is about to open."

League: ...

Shocking.

This is all, no words or state can describe the state of mind at this moment, the entire league is sucked into a hurricane vortex.

It wasn’t until now that people suddenly realized, everything had signs all along.

As early as last October, during the heated 2019 season regular games, renowned ESPN reporter Adam Schefter had already mentioned, "People need to consider the possibility that Brady might leave New England in 2020."

At that time, Schefter listed three important signals. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

First, in the 2018 offseason, Brady signed a two-year, 41 million US dollars contract with the New England Patriots, and in 2020 he would become a free agent, the contract stipulated, the team could not apply a franchise tag to Brady.

Second, Brady sold his property in New England.

Third, Brady’s longtime trainer Alex Guerrero also sold his property.

Judging by these states, Brady’s relationship with Belichick and the New England Patriots had reached an irreconcilable state.

The 2018 contract alone showed that New England Patriots were unwilling to commit to Brady’s long-term future, the team management was more inclined to gradually enter a rebuilding mode; but Brady’s strong desire for victory was still burning brightly, he apparently wanted to continue competing for championships.

Additionally, the relationship between Brady and Belichick was worsening, the two were constantly competing for the locker room’s voice, not just in the locker room, Brady also wished for a say in player management and the free market, it was a battle of authority and self-esteem, while the New England Patriots management chose Belichick, which repeatedly bruised Brady’s pride and self-respect.

Conflicts actually surfaced long ago.

However, at that time, people were merely discussing it, not truly believing it, after all, over the past two decades, the New England Patriots were a symbol of a dynasty, Belichick and Brady always managed to overcome difficulties and turn the tide.

Some even believed that those rumors were deliberately released by competitors to distract the New England Patriots, like the Kansas City Chiefs.

If the New England Patriots could overcome difficulties and reverse the situation, all speculations, all unease, all conflicts would disappear—

In the world of competitive sports, there’s no problem that one championship can’t solve, things are just that simple.

Unfortunately, this time, the Goddess of Fortune did not favor the New England Patriots, despite a regular-season record of twelve wins and four losses, they were shocked by a playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans, halting at their worst record in a decade, the dynasty that dominated the league for twenty years was swaying in the wind, ready to collapse at any moment.

Until now.

All unease, turned into reality—

Since the millennium, people have gotten used to the New England Patriots being the public enemy role, used to the Brady-Belichick duo, they were like a symbol, bound together, ingrained in the flesh and soul, casually mocking two lines when speaking.

Naturally, people believed, Brady should persist in the New England Patriots until retirement.

But now?

The league has become unprecedentedly lively, even more shocking than when Manning left the Indianapolis Colts to join the Denver Broncos.

After all, back then, Manning was out for a season due to injury, no one could guarantee that Manning would return to peak form upon recovery, although emotionally, no one wanted to see the Indianapolis Colts abandon Manning, but from a team perspective, it was understandable.

In Brady’s case, it’s another situation, no severe injury, last season he still led the team to the playoffs, a twelve-win-four-loss regular season record still stood out in the league; but it’s ultimately because of age, "the old warrior may be weary" left by the team, unable to resist the power of time.

Once, "any New England Patriots player was tradable except for Brady," now this exception is no longer special.

It’s lamentable.

Whether being one of the four elite quarterbacks, or the former League’s First Man, or the current strongest contender for GOAT, Brady’s prestige and reputation in the league remain, his split from the New England Patriots is enough to change the league dynamics.

Its shock value, even overshadowed the Kansas City Chiefs and Mahomes’ contract renewal.

It’s imaginable, the entire social network went crazy instantly, skin tingling, soul out of body, the bustling discussion couldn’t stop.

However, the true harsh reality is that people’s amazement at the Brady-Belichick breakup lasted less than three seconds before immediately turning to discuss Brady’s next team.

This is the truth of the Professional League, any sentimentality, any bond, any living and dying together is nothing but a false lie, everything is tradable—

Interest, is what’s eternal.

Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and other teams’ names appear before everyone.

Undoubtedly, San Francisco 49ers stand at the forefront.

Including Brady, Rodgers, etc., all top quarterbacks have a special affection for this traditional strong team San Francisco 49ers, often publicly expressing admiration towards them.

Because of the long history and fine tradition, and also because they grew up watching San Francisco 49ers games, plus modern passing offense originates from San Francisco 49ers, which is the reason quarterbacks can shine and take over the league.

Now, Brady actually has a chance to join the San Francisco 49ers?

The drama of the Houston Texans instantly became a thing of the past, Watson’s shit-stirrer hadn’t even had a chance to unleash his power before exiting the stage.

Watson: ???
