Lang began the tirade by attacking Caleb Williams’ attempt to trademark the nickname “Iceman,” calling the quarterback a “corny fraud” and even praising Skip Bayless’ take on the matter. The comments quickly drew backlash from Bears supporters.
Undeterred, Lang doubled down on the rivalry, reminding fans that he had beaten Chicago in 90% of the games he played against them and that the Bears had only one playoff win in a decade. He accused the fan base of being “weak” and warned that the NFC North rivalry would never stay quiet.
