No one cares Clay

antofox1.bsky.social•62 days ago

He's names clay... He's obviously had to struggle with that, but I still can't sympathise with that loser

antofox1.bsky.social•62 days ago

Named*

Trump knows more about sucking than anyone else. This huge former football play came up to him, with tears in his eyes and said "Sir, you are the best at sucking that I have ever seen".

🤣👍

msmeraglinolo.bsky.social•62 days ago

Weird.

patrick-velasco.bsky.social•62 days ago

Ahhh now I understand why they filed to make the Brotherly Shove illegal. It all makes sense now.

runner-guy.bsky.social•62 days ago

This was incredibly lame.

coachfah.bsky.social•62 days ago

It killed the crowd.

gratefulduck.bsky.social•62 days ago

What a shitty start to the NFL draft. No one really wanted to hear the name Trump. Mentally, Matthews is a brick.

ronaldadams222.bsky.social•62 days ago

Loser has been.

encomium.bsky.social•62 days ago

Keep in mind what Chicago is a dog whistle for.

He still has a pony tail? .. jesus

Never been prouder to be a Bears fan. Thanks for reaffirming another reason why, you no-eyebrowed troglodyte.

sobiesk2.bsky.social•62 days ago

I don’t understand why I have to end up disliking all of our franchise cornerstones after they leave. SOMEONE JUST BE A GOOD PERSON

gearcinco.bsky.social•62 days ago

Urlacher does the same shit. I feel ya

ducksfastlane.bsky.social•62 days ago

Yes, CTE is real.

thetwingardener.bsky.social•62 days ago

Comments from draft attendees were that the crowd was silent and didn’t know how to respond until the last sentence.

fitzd78.bsky.social•62 days ago

Yet more proof that both are assholes

steakhouse3821.bsky.social•62 days ago

I thought for a moment he was going to do a nazi salute! Disgusting…

rudedawg.bsky.social•62 days ago

Even though the account is not verified... @claymatthews52.bsky.social eat shit, Clay. Fuck you and all your MAGA-supporting pals, including Aaron Rodgers.

lenniesalinas.bsky.social•62 days ago

who won the last time they played?

iamnotlarry.bsky.social•62 days ago

Gotta be really hard to be a Packers fans these days.

sobiesk2.bsky.social•62 days ago

Check the scoreboard on that visit

rudedawg.bsky.social•62 days ago

Nailed it, bro...

iamnotlarry.bsky.social•62 days ago

rudedawg.bsky.social•62 days ago

That POS is not affiliated in any way with the Packers or the state of Wisconsin. He got his dick handed to him in that election. He tanked more than his Tesla stock.

iamnotlarry.bsky.social•62 days ago

I don’t know, looks like he and Trump are huge Packers fans.

therealsoloremy.bsky.social•62 days ago

Cringe Matthews strikes again

tim-j-anderson.bsky.social•62 days ago

I immediately turned it off when this happened.

potatoenthusiast.bsky.social•62 days ago

C’mon CTE, finish the job! 🤞🤞

jacksle.bsky.social•62 days ago

As a WI native and life long Packer fan, that was great! The build up scared the shit out of me when I thought he was serious, but that was about as lighthearted as it comes for political commentary. Huge lol (and cling to that meaningless wins Bears fans, it's literally all you have!)

wolfmansnephew.bsky.social•62 days ago

Enjoy being a chud like Mathews then.

rudedawg.bsky.social•62 days ago

As a WI native and lifelong Packer fan, I was appalled that he even mentioned the orange turd's name. If Clay is really a MAGA, he can fuck all the way off. I love the Packers, and I love Wisconsin, but I will not condone any MAGA BS from any player, former or present.

ascher1.bsky.social•62 days ago

well, Trump has been wrong on everything else.

jonp214.bsky.social•62 days ago

Packers roll around like they’re fucking football royalty but their glory days were literally before the Super Bowl existed and in the last 50 years they’ve won all of two Championships despite 30 uninterrupted years of HoF QB play.

tonysoprano63.bsky.social•62 days ago

This totally. As a Bears fan, no doubt I envy their success over the last 35 some odd years. But only two Super Bowl's to show for two Hall of Fame QB's over 30 years. Seems a little underwhelming when you consider Favre and Rodgers are probably top ten all time QB's.

Green Bay... The most detested destination if you work in Sports TV. Highest % of "out sick" & "family emergency" calls of the season. My high school stadium seats are luxury recliners compared to Lambeaus. Otoh, really nice locals & mad respect for the fan/public ownership model.
