Clay Matthews, joined by Lil Wayne, reignited the Packers-Bears rivalry at the NFL Draft with a playful jab, delighting Green Bay fans and highlighting his storied Chicago matchups.
Clay Matthews may have hung up his cleats, but his rivalry with the Chicago Bears clearly isn’t taking an off-season. Last night in Green Bay, the former Packers linebacker—joined by a crew of ex-teammates and none other than Lil Wayne—stole the show at the NFL Draft with a stunt that had Packers fans roaring and Bears fans, well, probably shaking their heads.
After NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s usual pleasantries, Matthews grabbed the mic and, with a mischievous grin, announced he had a special "message" from President Donald Trump for the NFL. Without missing a beat, he declared, "My fellow Americans, the Bears still suck!" If you know anything about the Packers-Bears rivalry, you know that’s basically their family motto up north.
The Bears are Green Bay’s top nemesis, and this isn’t just a fan thing—there’s literally a song called "The Bears Still Suck" that is a Packers tailgate classic. Matthews himself built a career tormenting Chicago: in 19 games, he racked up 56 solo tackles, 9.5 sacks, and three interceptions against the Bears. He was the Packers’ all-time sack leader in these matchups and finished his career 16-3 against Chicago, even grabbing a win as a Ram. Talk about living rent-free in your rival’s head.
On the draft side, Cam Ward kicked off the night as the first pick—no surprises there. But the Jacksonville Jaguars and Cleveland Browns managed to keep things spicy with an unexpected trade that had everyone double-checking their draft sheets.

Clay Matthews pulling out a fake Trump quote to roast the Bears at the draft? Now that's commitment to the rivalry. I’d say Chicago might need to start drafting some stand-up comedians if they hope to keep up with Green Bay’s off-field game. And honestly, with a record like Matthews’ against the Bears, maybe he really does have presidential authority—at least in Wisconsin!
