Clay Matthews saw an opportunity and took it.

At the start of the 2025 NFL draft in Green Bay, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell turned the mic over to Matthews, a Packers legend. Goodell probably regretted that immediately.

Matthews immediately claimed he was going off-script, then said, "I just got off the phone with the President Donald Trump. He asked me to pass a message along to all 32 NFL franchises." He then pulled out a piece of paper and said, "So let me tell you what it reads here, alright... It says my fellow Americans, the Bears still suck!"

That's a solid troll by Matthews. You have to give credit where it's due. And the crowd in Titletown went absolutely bonkers.

Well played, Clay. Well played indeed.
