Micah Parsons Surprised by Packers Fans’ Affection — and Their “Thank You” to Jerry Jones

GREEN BAY, WI —  Hours before the opener at Lambeau Field, Micah Parsons paused as he walked along Lombardi Avenue: across from the stadium, fans had hung a massive piece of street art—Parsons in Green & Gold, alongside a cheeky “thank you” aimed at Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for last week’s stunning trade.

No grand speeches or formal welcomes—just color, brushstrokes, and the buzz of the Lambeau community, enough to stop the Packers’ new defensive star in his tracks. From Penn State to Dallas and now Green Bay, Parsons is no stranger to bright lights; still, the Green Bay way—playful yet sincere—caught him off guard.

Honestly, I didn’t expect to be welcomed this warmly,” Parsons said after a light practice. “I respect my past in Dallas and Chairman Jerry Jones, but what Green Bay fans did today says one thing: from this moment on, I belong to the Green & Gold. Thank you for believing in me—now it’s time to repay it with work.

The mural’s appearance on the eve of kickoff turns a trade headline into a reminder of the Green Bay standard: love of football tied to responsibility and effort on every snap. Even without a full training camp with his new team and while on a managed workload for some back tightness, Parsons is expected to appear in situational rush packages—just when the Packers need extra edge pressure against Detroit.

For the fans, the “thank you” to Jerry Jones may be a bit of intentional humor; for the locker room, it’s a signal: Parsons is expected to be a difference-maker. From Lombardi Avenue to the Lambeau goal line, the story is ready—and Parsons knows his part: turn that warm welcome into blistering attacks on the opponent’s backfield.

Packers Jordan Love Becomes Part-Owner of Milwaukee Brewers
The Green Bay Packers’ young franchise quarterback is making a bold statement off the football field. Jordan Love, the rising star who has taken over the reins in Titletown, has officially become a part-owner of the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers, established in 1970, have long been Wisconsin’s pride in Major League Baseball. With legends like Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, and more recently Christian Yelich, the team has carried Milwaukee through highs and lows, always backed by one of the most loyal fan bases in baseball. Jordan Love has now etched his name into that story. Since replacing Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, Love has quickly developed into one of the NFL’s most promising quarterbacks. His presence in Wisconsin sports has already transformed the Packers’ outlook — and now his investment with the Brewers shows he is here to stay. “This is where I want my legacy to grow,” Love said. “Green Bay and Milwaukee have given me support, love, and belief. Joining the Brewers ownership is about giving back, about building Wisconsin sports into something even bigger for the entire nation.”   The move mirrors the new wave of athlete-owners across American sports. Patrick Mahomes owns a stake in the Kansas City Royals, while Jalen Hurts recently joined the Phillies’ ownership group. Now, Love adds his name to the list, showing that NFL quarterbacks can leave an impact far beyond football. For the Brewers, this is a timely moment. With playoff hopes alive in 2025 and a roster full of homegrown talent, having Jordan Love tied to the organization adds cultural weight. His popularity with Packers Nation will likely carry into Miller Park, bridging Wisconsin’s two most beloved teams. Fans have already taken to social media to celebrate the partnership. Packers fans see it as Love doubling down on his commitment to Wisconsin. Brewers fans see it as validation that their franchise remains attractive to rising stars who want to plant their roots in the state. Ultimately, Jordan Love’s decision isn’t just financial. It’s personal. It’s about building legacy in Wisconsin, ensuring that when people think about sports in the Midwest, they think Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers standing side by side. For Love, this is about more than winning games — it’s about building history.
