Two things to know off the bat here:

  1. The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears are heated, historic NFL rivals.

  2. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and actress Olivia Munn reportedly just broke off their relationship after more than two years of being #goals together.

And now we present to you this brilliantly un-subtle troll of Rodgers by the Chicago Tribune.

Boyfriend? Boyfriend?!? That unnamed fellow is a Super Bowl champ, a Super Bowl MVP, a two-time NFL MVP and an all-around pigskin legend.

In Chicago, though, he's just some dude. Welcome to sports -- where even the breakup of a longterm relationship is fair game for a good troll job.

Now the rest of us are left with just bittersweet memories of the love that used to be.
