Bears' Caleb Williams takes savage shot at Packers fans — ‘They suck'
Caleb Williams will not stop reminding fans that he is already 1-0 against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Although only one year into his professional career, the Chicago Bears quarterback had already developed a distaste for his divisional rival's fan base.
Williams was one of several athletes to appear at the 2025 Fanatics Fest in New York. The 23-year-old quarterback recalled hating how Packers fans acted after the Bears' Week 18 win in Green Bay during his Q&A segment.
'Green Bay, they suck,' Williams said, via Ryan Garcia of Empire Sports Media. 'I'm 1-0 in Lambeau. After the game, we tried to do the 'Lambeau Leap' in the crowd where our fans were. They started throwing things at you, pushing you off. The Lambeau Leap is a real leap; it's not a baby jump. And they're just pushing you in the face.'
The Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers ended a 10-game losing streak that started after their Week 6 bye. Green Bay took the first meeting between the two at Soldier Field, 20-19, making Williams 1-1 against them in his career.
Despite coming off a 5-12 season, the Bears have reasonably high expectations in 2025. Chicago made several key adjustments in the offseason, most notably hiring Ben Johnson as its next head coach. Johnson, a renowned offensive coordinator with the Detroit Lions, is expected to catapult Williams' career.
Bears-Packers matchups in 2025
The Bears and Packers' two meetings in 2025 will both occur in the second half of the season. The teams will not meet until Week 14, when they reconvene at Lambeau Field. The second meeting will go down just two weeks later in Week 16 at Soldier Field.
Given both teams' preseason expectations, the two-game series could carry heavy playoff implications. With the Bears improving dramatically in the 2025 offseason, the NFC North could come down to the wire yet again in 2025.
While the Packers have historically dominated the recent series against the Bears, Williams believes the tide will turn with his arrival. Johnson, who went 6-0 against Green Bay with the Lions, presumably feels the same. Chicago fans desperately seek redemption, as the team has not won a game in the series at home since 2018.

Venus Williams, older athletes are defying age. What's the secret?
Venus Williams' run at the Citi Open in Washington, DC, came to an end in the second round on Thursday, July 24, but that didn't make her any less of an astonishing story. Playing in her first singles match in more than a year, Williams, the 45-year-old tennis great who is currently unranked, thrilled fans when she beat Peyton Stearns 6-3, 6-4 on July 22. Stearns is 23 and ranked 35th in the world. That same day, 45-year-old pitcher Rich Hill became the oldest player in Kansas City Royals history when he started against the Cubs. He allowed just one earned run in five innings in his first game since September 2024. Three days earlier, 46-year-old boxer Manny Pacquiao returned to the ring for the first time in almost four years. Pacquiao electrified the crowd when he fought 30-year-old Mario Barrios, the reigning WBC world welterweight champion, to a majority draw. "I think in general, athletes at that level are just a different sort of type of human being to begin with," said Miho Tanaka, an orthopedic surgeon and director of the Women's Sports Medicine Program at Massachusetts General Hospital. "But I do think that longevity really requires that perfect amount of preparedness and support." She cited "optimizing kinematics," and other experts who talked to USA TODAY cited "recovery methodologies," "wet float and dry float therapy" and "genetics." In interviews with USA TODAY Sports, they offered their insight as the feats of Williams, Hill and Pacquaio put a spotlight on a broader phenomenon in sports: Older athletes playing at an elite level. Sophistication a key factor William Kraemer, a former coach of multiple sports who became a prolific researcher of sports science, is now watching something relatively new. Not just the likes of Venus Williams, Rich Hill and Manny Pacquiao, but other athletes thriving despite their comparatively advanced age. That list includes LeBron James, who will turn 41 during the NBA's upcoming season; Alex Ovechkin, who will turn 40 during the NHL's next season; and Lionel Messi, who is a comparative youngster at 38. "What they're doing now is much more sophisticated in their training, recovery and testing," said Kraemer, senior adviser for sports performance and sports sciences at Ohio State University. "It's just so much more knowledge going into athletic training." That includes improved individualization and sequencing of workout, said Kraemer, who also cited technology such as the Oura ring, worn to monitor health and fitness metrics; dry float therapy, floating on a water-filled membrane without getting wet, and wet float therapy, floating in a tank with salt water and getting wet; and, for sleep, hyperbaric chambers that can cost as much as $90,000. "It is growing to be the norm just because you've got such high-level athletes working and all the money involved," Kraemer said. The price tag for such technology is likely no barrier for wealthy older athletes. Maverick Carter, James' longtime friend and business partner, told GQ in 2018 that James spends more than $1 million a year to keep his body in the best condition possible. "I have no idea where the amount of money came from, but I do invest in my body for sure," James said on "The Pat McAfee Show" this year. "Whatever I can do to continue playing at this level, man, I'm going to continue to do while I'm playing." Working wiser, not harder Dedication appears to be a unifying aspect of older athletes thriving. After winning her first-round match this week, Williams said: "You guys don't know how much work goes into this − like it's 9 to 5 except you're running the whole time. Lifting weights and just like dying and then you repeat it the next day." But athletes at the top of their game and defying age aren't necessarily working harder, said Mike Boyle, a former strength and conditioning coach who worked for the Boston Bruins and the Boston Red Sox. "I think there used to be much more emphasis on how heavy you lift and how tired you get," he said. "And I think people are starting to realize that those probably aren't really the best metrics." Take Pacquiao. Justin Fortune, Pacquiao's strength and conditioning coach, said the boxer has accepted the need for more rest since suffering a shocking defeat in 2017 to Jeff Horn by unanimous decision. "He burned himself out about two weeks before the fight," Fortune said. Miho Tanaka, an orthopedic surgeon and director of the Women's Sports Medicine Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, suggested wisdom is also at work in handling injuries. James has dealt with an assortment of injuries in recent years, as has Messi since joining Inter Miami in 2003. "I think as athletes age in their careers, they can become a little bit wiser in terms of how they approach injuries and how they come back from them," she said. "They know when to not push too far." Nutrition plans, blood work, supplements James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, and Williams, the seven-time Grand Slam winner, have touted the benefits of personal chefs. But Hill, in his 21st season in the majors, would need to incur little extra expense for meals and supplements, said Marie Spano, a registered dietitian who works for the Washington Nationals. "Baseball has changed dramatically, going from back in the day they were handed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich made by a clubby," said Spano, who also has worked for the Atlanta Braves. "Even when I started in 2013 in baseball, it's changed dramatically since then because of the collective bargaining agreement. Players expect more and teams have to give more. "They spend an astronomical amount on food and supplements. Every team has a registered dietician there, and advanced teams are doing blood work. They're doing more measures on body composition, muscle bone and utilizing that data to drive interventions." It's the older players who make best use of the resources, Spano said. "As I always say to every rookie: Every older athlete I've worked with has everything dialed in," she said. "They're the ones that are asking for detailed nutrition plans. They want the blood work done, they want their supplements dialed in, they're regularly checking in with you." The secret pill Kraemer said there will always be ergogenics – or, more colloquially, banned performance enhancing drugs. But he said suspicion stemming from the success of older athletes "is a reverse prejudice of highly fit athletes." "Poor Joe Namath and Dick Butkus would've played many more years successfully, but they had lousy orthopedic surgeons back in the day," Kraemer said. "So you look at how surgical interventions and sports medicine, athletic training, physical therapy also has elevated. So that's a whole other thing. We know so much more about sports medicine." Boyle, the strength and conditioning coach, said: "Maybe it's my naivety, but I think there's less of that stuff going on. But just the general nutritional knowledge has really increased. I think there's less people looking for, say, the secret pill and more people who are just consistently eating better and consistently taking better care of themselves." Rust or rest? Eric Cressey, who runs high-performance facilities and works with major leaguers, cites the importance of load management. That has become a controversial issue in the NBA as fans complain about buying game tickets only to discover star players are on the bench. But James, for one, has embraced the need for more rest and recovery. Then there is extended rest. Pacquiao said his four-year layoff left his body fresh for his return. Williams looked fresh despite not having played a singles match since March 2024. Instead of rust, fans may have seen the benefits of rest. The value of rest may be eclipsing the fear of rest. "When you see these aging athletes, the No. 1 thing that kind of comes down to is volume management," Cressy said, referring to limiting the stress put on an athlete's body. Then, during a three-day span, Williams, Hill and Pacquiao seemingly turned back the clock. "I don't think these things surprise me, just because you do see players doing it at the really high level," Cressey said. "And there's just going to be more and more of them." If Father Time is undefeated, as James likes to say, you might as well push it to the limit. See if you can't extend Father Time to extra innings, overtime, another round, or in the case of Venus Williams, one more set.

Jordan Love told what needs fixing to bolster Packers' Super Bowl hopes
The Green Bay Packers are in a challenging NFC North division, where three teams clinched a playoff spot last season. Moreover, the Chicago Bears are in Year 2 with Caleb Williams, and they'll be looking to take a significant step under new head coach Ben Johnson. As a result, each division game will matter and the minor details could tilt the result in one team's favor. Jordan Love is entering his third full season as the Packers' starting quarterback, and in his first two campaigns as the No. 1 guy under center, he's led Green Bay to the playoffs. Nonetheless, for Green Bay to reach the playoffs for a third straight season with Love, the question is whether they can make a run that leads to a Super Bowl birth. On Friday's "NFL Live," ESPN NFL analyst Ryan Clark commented on what Love needs to do to have the player's regular-season success translate to the postseason. MORE:Packers add 49ers' discarded running back to help depth behind Josh Jacobs "It's about what he does in the regular season as well," Clark said. "It's about protecting the football in the most crucial moments. He carries this entire organization's dreams in his right arm and his decision-making... Jordan Love has to protect the ball while maintaining his aggressiveness at the quarterback position. "I believe that if they do that, with what Josh Jacobs added, with Matthew Golden as the number one pick this season, and also with the defense and Jeff Hafley entering their second year, they have an opportunity to be one of the best in all of the NFL, not just the NFC." Love has thrown 11 interceptions in back-to-back seasons, and in the Wild Card game this year against the Philadelphia Eagles, he threw three interceptions, which are mistakes that cannot happen in the playoffs. It will be interesting to see whether the 26-year-old can cut down on the interceptions as part of the improved decision-making that Clark is mentioning.
