Bears quarterback Caleb Williams joins in on anti-Green Bay chants at Summer Smash
Caleb Williams has been on a Green Bay hate tour as of late.
The Chicago Bears quarterback hasn't shied away from sharing his disdain for his NFC North rivals. In fact, he recently was part of a chant taking aim at the Green Bay Packers.

Over the weekend, Williams was seen at Lyrical Lemonade's Summer Smash Festival in Bridgeview, Illinois. In a video circulating online, a chant of "F--- Green Bay" broke out in a section of the festival, with Williams in the middle of it.
Accompanying Williams during the cheer was Cole Bennett, music video director and the founder of the festival's multimedia company, Lyrical Lemonade. A Chicagoland native, Bennett is a Bears fan and has even done collaborations between the team and his company.
Williams has had lots to say about the Packers after his rookie season. On June 20, Williams was at Fanatics Fest in New York City, where he was asked about the NFL fan bases he dislikes. "Probably Green Bay," Williams said. "They suck."

Summer Smash wasn't the first time Williams led a cheer against Green Bay. In June 2024, Williams was seen at a Chicago bar, leading fans in a "Green Bay sucks" chants.
All of this comes after Williams and the Bears defeated the Packers in the final game of the 2024 season, which ended the Bears' 11-game losing streak against the Packers.
Packers fans will have to wait and see if Williams can back up his words next season, as the Packers welcome the Bears to Lambeau on Dec. 7. The Bears will then host the Green and Gold on Dec. 20 at Soldier Field.

Fan dressed as Saquon Barkley's backwards hurdle wins Fanatics Fest contest
No play during the 2024 NFL season was more iconic than Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley's backwards hurdle in a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. And now, one creative fan has leveraged his unique take on the play into tickets to the Super Bowl, World Cup Final and Wrestlemania 42. Eagles fan JJ Nesheiwat showed up to last weekend's Fanatics Fest wearing a Jaguars jersey and holding a mannequin wearing a Barkley jersey and Eagles helmet over his head in a "reverse hurdle" posture. Thanks to the outfit, Nesheiwat got a chance to meet Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean, who posed with him for a picture. Advertisement Fanatics announced via social media on Monday, June 23 that Nesheiwat's costume also had won him the weekend's "Best Dressed Fan" award, meaning he'd also receive free tickets to the Super Bowl, World Cup final and Wrestlemania 42. FANATICS FEST: Commanders owner buys Jayden Daniels rookie card for $500,000 "We saw thousands of amazing outfits at Fanatics Fest," the sports merchandise and collectibles company wrote on social media platform X, "but this one reverse hurdled over the rest." Time will tell whether Nesheiwat will get the chance to watch his favorite team attempt to repeat as Super Bowl champions in Santa Clara, California, next February. After that, he'll need to make his way to Las Vegas for Wrestlemania 42 at Allegiant Stadium in April before going back to the East Coast for the World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in July.

Kevin Durant makes Micah Parsons Commanders prediction that Cowboys fans will hate
The post Kevin Durant makes Micah Parsons Commanders prediction that Cowboys fans will hate appeared first on ClutchPoints. Kevin Durant found himself at the center of attention at Fanatics Fest on Sunday afternoon after he was sent from the Phoenix Suns to the Houston Rockets in a blockbuster trade. However, even in the wake of the latest big change for him in his NBA career, he was focused on finding a way to recruit Dallas Cowboys superstar defender Micah Parsons to his favorite team, the Washington Commanders. Advertisement With Parsons still embroiled in drama-filled contract negotiations, his future with the Cowboys has come into question. Some folks have wondered whether he could hit the open market, or if Dallas' front office could ultimately decide to trade him. Regardless of what ends up happening, Durant believes that Parsons will find his way to Washington within the next two years. 'I think he will be a Commander at some point in his career,' Durant said in an interview with Kay Adams. 'Imma say two years from now.' 'I only rock with Dan Quinn,' Parsons said in response to Durant's bold Commanders prediction. 'Exactly, that's all he needs to rock with,' Durant quickly said in reply. Could Kevin Durant's bold Micah Parsons, Commanders prediction come true? Eric Hartline-Imagn Images Any team would gladly welcome Parsons to their squad, as he's been one of the best defenders in the league since getting selected with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. The Cowboys and their fans, on the other hand, would likely be sick to their stomach seeing Parsons play for one of their NFC East rivals. Advertisement The prospect of Parsons getting publicly recruited by Durant should only further incentivize Dallas' front office to hammer out a deal with their star defender. Granted, they shouldn't have needed much of an incentive to keep him in town in the first place, but as training camp draws near, all eyes will be on Parsons and the Cowboys to see if they can come to terms on a new deal.
