Green Bay brought the Midwest Nice to the football world this week as the host of the 2025 NFL Draft. Hey, how many other sites hand out free goodie bags at the airport?
Many of the guest announcers recognized this niceness and hospitality on the draft stage throughout the week.
But a couple folks’ team reps apparently didn’t want to return the favor in the sixth round April 26.
We're looking at you, Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos.
First, it was Marius Dell, the Lions’ international fan of the year.
Waving a Lions flag that read “Germany” across the bottom, Dell took to the stage to announce the team’s pick of Boise State’s Ahmed Hassanein with the 196th selection.
“What up, dog!” Dell yelled out to the crowd.
“Now, I want to hear all the Packers owners,” Dell challenged, clearly with a sarcastic tone.
Then he referenced the Lions quarterback who helped beat the Packers twice last season.
“Well, I honestly didn’t hear Jared Goff,” he fired back.
And while many guest announcers thanked Green Bay as the host site, Dell was only thanking the Lions.
He also let everyone know that it’s the Lions and not the Packers that have won the NFC North the last two years.
“I want to thank the Detroit Lions, the king of the North, having me this opportunity here,” he said.
Dell wasn’t the only one who threw shade at the Packers. It was the latest jab from the Lions at the Packers in recent days. The Lions' team president started the Green Bay bashing earlier this week.
Nickel column: This weekend, let’s remember Green Bay how it was then, and marvel at what it is now
About a half-hour later, a content creator announcing the pick for the Denver Broncos took it to another level in his 15 seconds of fame.
Wearing a Broncos jersey, Kurt Tocci set up his bit telling the crowd that folks in Green Bay “are so nice.” “Your hospitality is top-tier,” said Tocci, who has 1.6 million followers on YouTube.
But it was all a setup.
He then reminded the fine folks of Green Bay about the Broncos' 31-24 win over the Packers in Super Bowl XXXII in 1998 and brought up John Elway's rushing touchdown in the game.
