Buying Los Angeles was a joke. No one thought you could actually buy the entire city for a hundred million USD.
The NFL SUV cruised smoothly through the night. Outside the window, flashes of deep blue and crimson-gold flags flew by. The fans had yet to disperse; tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
In fact, the celebrations would last for several days beyond the Super Bowl itself.
About twenty minutes later, the SUV pulled up to the entrance of a private estate on the north side of Beverly Hills.
This was one of the Los Angeles properties belonging to Giants owner John Mara: a three-acre, Tuscan-style Italian estate. It was said to have been built by a Hollywood producer in the 1940s before being acquired by the Maras, who now used it exclusively for large-scale events and banquets.
Outside the window, two security guards in suits stood on either side of a cast-iron gate. Two deep blue Giants flags hung from the gateposts, swaying gently in the night breeze.
