“I just came from the phone with the president, Donald Trump. He asked me to pass on a message to all 32 NFL franchise. Let me tell you what it reads here, okay?” Matthews began.
“It says, ‘My Co -Americans, the bears still suck!'”
Matthews’ stunt sent the Green Bay audience and social media into a madness. The idea for the stunt began when he first found out he should be on stage.
“I looked at last year’s (NFL draft in Detroit) and it was Calvin Johnson, Barry Sanders, Aiden Hutchinson, Jared Goff, and I thought it was fantastic. You got a mix of legends and current players, but they all went up there and they just screamed into the microphone. this to this. ” I was like I didn’t want me to get up there and be like Green Bay that makes some noise, so I was to do this to this for this for this. “Matthews said during a recent performance on” Bussin ‘with the boys. “
The former Packers star certainly made it memorable. Matthews received her wife’s blessing to move on with the plan, and then she gave some help as she photoshopped Trump’s letter head on paper.

Matthews did not tell the NFL what he would do because he did not think the league would approve it.
“I didn’t tell anyone because I knew the NFL would not approve it. I knew in today’s political climate that you mentioned a political affiliation, left, right, as if it just won’t go well with the NFL,” Matthews said.
When Matthews waited for his moment behind the stage, the nerves that were set in like nobody knew what was happening. However, it went smoothly.
“Execution, delivery, everything was at the forefront. I was happy with how it landed the boys all behind me, they enjoyed what they had no idea, so they were that you know just as fired up, you know anytime you can take a chance to put the bears down, you got to take it,” Matthews said.
As it went smoothly on stage, Matthews was concerned about the potential consequences of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell Backstage.

“I went behind the scene, I’m like, ‘Oh now I came to, I came to meet Wrath of Goodell and everyone else,” said Matthews.
The former Packers’ Great, however, said Goodell was “super cool” about it and they asked to take a picture of the letter to get on social media.
While things were going well, Matthews said he would probably never be invited back to the epic stunt.
