Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1166 - 1165: A Good Man

Philip Rivers, quarterback, known as the last good man in the league, with a kind face and Jesus in his heart.

After falling in love with his high school sweetheart, he has been devoted ever since, truly making his first love his last love. Not only did they walk into marriage hand in hand, but they have also had eight children together over the years, truly exemplary in production.

In the 2004 draft, Little Manning stubbornly refused to join the San Diego Chargers, even threatening to refuse to sign if the Chargers picked him—and to this day, he has not explained why. However, the Chargers still chose Little Manning, but then completed a trade with the New York Giants, sending Rivers, who was chosen by the Giants, to San Diego, while Little Manning went to New York.

During this whole process, did anyone ask Rivers’ opinion?

No.

Did Rivers complain or protest?

Also, no.

Rivers has never discussed the matter, and for fifteen years has diligently and selflessly dedicated everything to the team.

His good temper is famous across the league; of course, he can also get frustrated, defeated, and angry, but he always apologizes afterward, leaving others at a loss.

This is Rivers—

A good boy. A saint.

However, this time, rare as it is, Rivers was frustrated.

Rivers sincerely hoped to lead the team to success, temporarily setting aside the Super Bowl Championship, at least leading the team to the Conference finals once more. It’s worth noting that the only time the Los Angeles Chargers reached the Conference finals during Rivers’s era was back in the distant 2007 season.

That year, they lost the Conference finals to the undefeated season of the New England Patriots, just like last year, they lost the divisional game to the New England Patriots.

And this season again...

Rivers held his breath, unable to put into words his frustration.

"We..."

At the pre-game press conference, faced with the relentless pursuit of journalists, Rivers clenched his fists, pursed his lips, his cheeks puffed up like a bun, perfectly recreating the expression of the baby fist meme.

People may find it hard to imagine, but the symbol of "Good Old Man" Rivers, renowned in the league far and wide, is—

Trash talk.

Off the field, Rivers remains polite; but on the field, Rivers’s trash talk is famous, known for being infuriating without remuneration.

However, Rivers’s trash talk is slightly different from those big mouths; his trash talk is free of obscenities and vulgarity, with a typically annoying boastful style, yet it remains effective.

And here, it’s no different.

"We’re at a disadvantage now, standing before the Kansas City Chiefs makes us look like babies, but we all know how Kevin defeated Harry and Marvin, not just once, but twice."

"The first time, at his own home."

"The second time, in New York, that was an away game, but Kevin turned the away game into his home ground, in an even more challenging and treacherous situation."

"So, we will do the same."

The whole room of journalists went silent.

Finally, someone slowly raised a hand, "Philip, were you just quoting ’Home Alone’?"

Rivers grinned widely, revealing a mouthful of large white teeth, "Yes."

The whole room burst into laughter.

In 1990, "Home Alone" premiered, where eight-year-old Kevin is accidentally left home alone, and two burglars, Harry and Marvin, plan to break in and steal, leading Kevin to outsmart them and win victoriously—

Last season, the Los Angeles Chargers unexpectedly upset the division-leading Kansas City Chiefs at home.

In 1992, "Home Alone 2" premiered, where ten-year-old Kevin travels on holiday with his family but mistakenly boards a different plane at the airport, ending up alone in New York, where he once again encounters Harry and Marvin in an unfamiliar city, turning the away game into a home ground and defeating the two thieves again—

London. Away game. Underdog upset.

It’s undeniable that "Good Old Man" Rivers’s trash talk is indeed impressive, not only humorously but also perfectly fitting the situation of both teams.

With a face full of smiles, Rivers delivered sarcasm to the max.

"I know they really, really want to beat us, but..."

He paused, then unexpectedly made a funny face, crossing his eyes, sticking out his tongue, posing dog ears with his hands, with a grimace twisted and ghastly.

The entire press room was stunned, never expecting Rivers to actually... turn into a meme.

However, this action fit perfectly with "Home Alone," causing the journalists to lose control and burst into collective laughter, the atmosphere lively.

It’s undeniable that in the face of the Kansas City Chiefs’s momentum, Rivers’s unique trash talk indeed captured the focus for the Los Angeles Chargers.

Most importantly, Rivers subtly shifted the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs this season into the "villain" role, while the Los Angeles Chargers became the small, vulnerable Kevin—

Now the bad guys prepare to invade their home and take away their victory, but they don’t plan to surrender, instead stepping up to defend their home, even if they are fighting alone like Kevin.

The resonance between on-field and off-field made the Los Angeles Chargers win fans’ support.

After all, who can resist the quirky Kevin from "Home Alone"?

In a flash, the English media became excitedly thrilled.

A show is about to begin, with Rivers’s trash talk even slightly overshadowing Li Wei’s heroic act at Wembley, in contrast to Hollywood’s clichéd superhero narrative, Rivers pretending to be weak and vulnerable while actually issuing a challenge is much more interesting.

"Los Angeles Chargers VS Kansas City Chiefs—Home Alone 3."

"Meme villain defending home ground VS Heroes invading territory, this movie sounds interesting."

"So, ’Kevin VS Harry 3.0’, this time it’s happening in London, don’t miss it."

"Rivers: Wembley is the Los Angeles Chargers’ home ground, even if ’Home Alone,’ we will defend it till death."

"Highlights of the London Bowl: ’Rivers VS Li Wei,’ trash talk upgraded."

A racket.

Worldwide, London’s media activity ranks second only to New York, even more lively than in Hollywood’s home base of Los Angeles at this moment people can feel it, all the overwhelming news is focusing on the London Bowl.

Even without the NFL’s push.

However, Li Wei responded.

"We always think we are superheroes, defeating villains and saving the world, but often, while we think we are playing ’Home Alone,’ in reality, it’s ’The Grudge.’"

Laughter! Thunderous laughter!

Who would have thought that Li Wei could switch from "Home Alone" to "The Grudge" in a second, the roles of victim and perpetrator swapped around.

Creative genius, whimsical, Li Wei’s imagination instantaneously elevated the style of the trash talk duel a notch, perfectly launching a counterattack.

Brilliant, indescribably brilliant.

Media journalists immersed in a joyful atmosphere, who would have thought that a trash talk duel could be so hilarious one day, so is this a tense confrontation or a harmonious fun?

"Kevin versus Junxiong, who will laugh last?"
