In America, the winner takes all.

Chapter 463 More Important Than the Championship
"I said, I want to be a more famous TV star than Paris! I want to make as much money as Oprah!" Kim Kardashian's eyes were flashing with flames.

"But there's nothing commendable about you!" Ethan asked back.

"Nowadays, we live in a media society. There are many ways to become famous. Look at Paris Hilton. What did she do? She just promoted her luxurious life every day, which made the working class jealous." Kim Kardashian snorted coldly, with a hint of jealousy in her words.

"We can start a reality show, based on the family unit, to record everything in the lives of us sisters, including our mother." Kim Kardashian went on to talk about the specific plan.

Ethan nodded after hearing this: "You are right. I will let Michael Ovitz's director contact you. I will even let your mother be the producer."

Apparently, this is how he remembers Keeping Up With the Kardashians being made.

It's not just the Kardashian family. Ethan is even planning to produce a "Keeping Up with Bundchen" with similar content. You know, Bundchen also has several beautiful sisters. One of them presents a dramatic urban life, and the other presents an idyllic and poetic life. The content can be said to be completely opposite.

Kardashian was stunned. She didn't expect Ethan to give in so easily. Little did she know that Ethan was already laughing in his heart at this moment.

Kardashian and Ethan then got into more detail.

"Ethan, you are the guarantee of ratings, so you must choose one among our three sisters, even if it's just acting..." Kardashian seemed a little unconfident. She didn't know if Ethan could agree to this question.

"As far as recording the show is concerned, it won't take up much time, but I don't like pretending in front of the camera, so why not try to make the fake real?" Ethan said.

"Are you interested in Kourtney?" Kim Kardashian asked back.

Ethan shook his head.

"Is that Kohler?"

Ethan shook his head again: "I have been interested in you, an Armenian, since the first time I met you."

"But you don't like me, and you still say things like that..." Kim Kardashian muttered softly.

Ethan suddenly realized what was going on. No wonder he didn't see her in the second half of the Lingerie Bowl. It turned out that she had overheard his private conversation with Claudia.

"Indeed, I don't like your style of doing things. You treat men as tools to gain attention." Ethan said.

"That's what they think..." Kim Kardashian continued to defend.

Ethan shook his head: "No matter what, the truth of the matter is no longer important. What's important is... your family is the protagonist of a show under the Angel Agency."

This year's Super Bowl was held at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. As the game day approached, the two teams left their bases and landed in Louisiana for final preparations.

The wives who didn't attend the event in previous years still chose to stay in Los Angeles this year, even though the Super Bowl was more important to Ethan. Ever since Ethan decided to give everyone a grand wedding during the offseason after the Super Bowl, the wives began to make intensive preparations.

Many of the world's most famous bridal designers, including Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta, Monique Lhuillier, Carolina Herrera, and Elie Saab, gathered in Los Angeles to customize wedding gowns for the wives. Famous wedding shoe designers and brands, including Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Manu Roberti, and Berggren Mishka, also arrived at the same time.

Besides shoes and clothes, the most important thing is of course the diamond ring. Several major diamond ring brands in the world have each sent out teams to meet the different needs of ladies.

As for the other more detailed preparations, needless to say, in short, everyone in the wives' group has become extremely busy.

This series of actions naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of outsiders. Since some time ago, there have been reporters and paparazzi squatting outside Ethan's house 24 hours a day. The tabloids also analyzed various situations. The only thing that can be confirmed is that this wedding may not be the grandest and most luxurious wedding in the world, but it must be the most special. After all, there are many brides but only one groom.

This has brought a great cognitive impact to the general public, but the Mormon Temple far away in Utah issued multiple statements at this critical juncture to support Ethan. This is naturally because Ethan has donated to the Mormon Temple for several consecutive years.

Ethan, who is in the whirlpool of public opinion, seems to be extremely quiet during this period and spends most of his time on training.

Since the advent of the NFL, any team that can win consecutive Super Bowl championships will be recognized as a true "dynasty". The earliest can be traced back to the Green Bay Packers under Lombardi, and the most recent one was the Cowboys in the early 1990s.

The Angels are on their way to a new dynasty.

"If we can win this game, we will be creating a new history. In the future, many of us will have our names written in the Hall of Fame! We will never forget the upcoming game..." Andy said to everyone.

At the same time, Coach Xiaoji also said similar words to his players.

"Shh! Ethan called me!" Tom, who was wiping his sweat, suddenly shouted when he saw the caller ID.

In an instant, the whole team's attention was focused on him.

"You have to answer the call. If he asks you about tactics, remember to give the wrong answer." Coach Xiaoji shrugged, which caused the players to laugh.

"You don't have to tell me, I would do the same." Tom also raised his mouth. This is the Super Bowl, which is much more important than the games in college.

In front of everyone, he answered the phone.

"Hey, Ethan. How are your preparations? Do you want to find out some tactics this time?" Tom asked.

"How could that be? We have to compete fairly in this match." Ethan said on the other end of the phone.

"So, that's why you called me here to say this?" Tom asked.

"I called to invite you to my wedding." Ethan explained the reason. Tom said "oh" and realized that he had wronged Ethan.

Then they both laughed at the same time.

"We're still friends, right?" Tom said.

"of course."

"So, we should go all out!" Tom nodded heavily.

"See you at the court." Ethan hung up the phone.

A few days later, Super Bowl XXXVI was held at the Superdome as scheduled.

The opening performance was by Mariah Carey, followed by a ceremony to commemorate the victims of 911/.

The guest for the coin toss this year was quite special, it was George H.W. Bush.

"I hope this coin will bring you good luck!" Bush Sr. looked at Ethan and said in front of the camera.

"The Angels guessed the wrong answer. The Patriots took the lead in the first half. Today's Patriots are still led by this year's biggest dark horse, Tom Brady! After the team's main player was injured and was ruled out for the season, this backup quarterback miraculously led the Patriots to this year's Super Bowl."

"And today the Patriots' opponent is our old friend, the Angels led by Ethan. Compared with last year's invincible attitude, Ethan encountered a lot of public doubts at the beginning of this season and advanced to the playoffs in a very thrilling way. In the playoffs, they were in good shape and finally defeated the Rams to enter the Super Bowl."

"Will the dark horse crush the arrogant Ethan, or will Ethan create his own dynasty and complete the feat of winning consecutive championships? Let us wait and see!"

Louisiana is located in the south-central United States, about the same distance from the east and west coasts. Today, the number of fans from both sides who attended the event was almost evenly split.

The Patriots launched the first attack. Tom Brady showed extraordinary calmness in the offense, with continuous accurate passes. His speed was no less than Peyton Manning. He also had the high-altitude bombing ability of the Rams. His occasional running was also quite Ethan's style. It can be clearly felt that in the past few years, Tom Brady has well integrated the advantages of several major quarterbacks, which is why he can lead the Patriots to overcome all obstacles.

"Touchdown! The Patriots broke the deadlock in the first quarter. Tom Brady's pass was extremely accurate and the wide receiver successfully rushed into the end zone."

As the Angels' offensive group came on the court, Ethan once again demonstrated his distinctive personal offensive strategy, using a lot of running to tear open gaps in the Patriots' defensive line, supplemented by ghostly and erratic passes. Because the landing points of the passes were so strange, he fooled the Patriots' defensive players many times, especially an amazing "spiral route" pass, which made countless spectators at the scene and in front of the TV drop their jaws.

"Before Ethan showed up, no one would have realized that there would be so many changes in a football flying in the air. Ethan single-handedly brought the quarterback passing skill into a whole new realm. Today in the Super Bowl, Ethan came up with a brand new football flight route. As for how to name this pass, let Ethan do it himself."

At this moment, even the Patriots players couldn't help but gasp when watching the replay on the big screen.

"Coach, the tactics we prepared against Ethan O'Connor don't seem to be working." Tom heard his teammates say at this time.

"Ethan is not a god, he is also a human being. As long as he is human, he will make mistakes. All we need to do is wait quietly. There is still a long time in this game!" Tom comforted his teammates.

Facing the powerful Ethan, Tom seemed calm. His mentality has improved greatly compared to many years ago, and he is even stronger than Peyton Manning today.

It's just that Tom made a mistake in judgment.

"Damn, this guy really didn't make any mistakes!" The teammates gritted their teeth.

The Patriots were well prepared for the Super Bowl, and they developed what might be the most complicated defensive tactics in football history against Ethan. This was the result of the teams' continuous research on how to defend Ethan over the past two years.

It can be said that the Patriots have done what they can do.

And Ethan's performance in this game was - beyond the limit.

"Even in the replay, we can hardly see any unnecessary movements of Ethan, not even a step, a look, an unnecessary arm swing. There is none of these. Different from the flashy style of play when he first entered the NFL, Ethan's movements now tend to be more pragmatic. Even the most basic passing movements can show a special beauty in him."

“Perhaps, he has already reached a special realm that is far superior to all professional players.”

“There has never been anyone like him before, and there will never be anyone like him after.”

Even the commentator on the scene couldn't find any slight flaws in Ethan's performance during the replay, and could only offer him heaps of praise.

Even though the Patriots had done everything they could think of, they still couldn't stop Ethan's progress, and the score began to widen gradually in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Tom was ready to give it a try, but he still couldn't make any waves.

In the end, Ethan once again accomplished his feat with a perfect performance recognized by everyone, winning the Vince Lombardi Trophy and the second Super Bowl MVP in his career. Last season, the Angels showed their dominance in the regular season, and now Ethan's dominance in this game has reached a higher level.

Tom put his hands on his hips, looking at Ethan on the podium holding the trophy and cheering with his teammates. His face was dazed and there was an indescribable loneliness on his face.

Then he smiled with relief.

Even if you can't become a champion, it's nice to be a champion's friend...

Championship is important, but there are things more important than that.

·
For Ethan, it was obvious that something more important than the championship was important. He rejected Andy's proposal for a post-match celebration and returned home early. By then, his private plane was ready, and he and his wives would set off for the Aegean Sea...
