“I just got with the president, Donald Trump. He asked me to send a message to the 32 NFL franchises. Let me tell you what he reads here, okay?” Matthews started.
“He says:” My American compatriots, the bears are always zero! “”
The Matthews waterfall sent the crowd of Green bay and social media in a frenzy. The idea of the blow started when he discovered that he was going to be on stage.
“I watched last year (draft of NFL in Detroit) and it was Calvin Johnson, Barry Sanders, Aiden Hutchinson, Jared Goff, and I thought it was great. You had a mixture of current legends and players and they all went up there, and they just shouted in the microphone. I was just like I don’t really want to do.” Matthews said in a recent appearance on “Bussin ‘with the boys”.
The former packer star certainly made him memorable. Matthews received his wife’s blessing to move forward with the plan, then she provided help when she has Photoshop Trump’s header paper on the newspaper.

Matthews did not tell the NFL what he was going to do, because he did not think that the league would approve him.
“I did not tell anyone because I knew that the NFL was not going to approve it. I knew that in today’s political climate, you mentioned a political affiliation, on the left, on the right, as if it would not go well with the NFL,” said Matthews.
While Matthews was waiting for her moment behind the scenes, the nerves settled because no one knew what was going to happen. However, it went well.
“The execution, the delivery, everything was on the point. I was satisfied with the way he landed the boys behind me, they appreciated, they had no idea, so they were knowing it just as a shot, you know that you can take the chance to put the bears that you could take it,” said Matthews.
Although it went well on stage, Matthews was worried about the potential repercussions of the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, behind the scenes.

“I went behind the scenes, I said to myself:” Oh now I have to face, I have to face the anger of Goodell and everyone, “said Matthews.
However, the Great Goodell of the old packers was “super cool” on this subject, and they asked to take a photo of the letter to put on social networks.
Although it went well, Matthews said he would probably never be invited to come back for the epic blow.
