For those who are not aware, Packers players usually ride bikes of young fans during training camp. It’s one of the team’s top traditions and occurs on an annual basis. In return, the fans get to have conversations with the NFL players.

“Since 1958, the Green Bay Packers players have struck a unique deal with young fans,” FOX6 in Milwaukee said. “They bargain a ride on a kids’ bicycle out to the practice field in exchange for a quick conversation with an NFL player.”

Even so, NFL fans in attendance cannot help themselves. Booing Goodell might be everyone’s favorite tradition in the entire sport, let alone the draft. Despite playing into the hands of the Green Bay fans, the commissioner still heard from them.

Clay Matthews trolls Chicago Bears ahead of 2025 NFL Draft

There was only one thing that had a chance of getting booed harder on Thursday night than Roger Goodell. Live from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, they are not really fans of the Chicago Bears. Whenever the Bears do make their selection, the noise should be quite loud.

Clay Matthews decided to get the trolling party started early, though. Right before Goodell officially opened the 2025 NFL Draft, Matthews took over at the podium. He claimed to have a message from President Donald Trump, one he turned into a hilarious moment.

“I just got off the phone with the President, Donald Trump,” Matthews said. “He asked me to pass a message along to all 32 NFL franchises. So, let me tell you what it reads right here. It says ‘My fellow Americans. The Bears still suck.’ Let’s go!”
