Upon scheduling this interview, my girlfriend did a quick Google search to put a face with the name.<\/h1>\n<p>As images of &#8220;The Clay Maker&#8221; flipped across her iPhone, she said, &#8220;Wow. This guy is a complete stud.&#8221; The accompanying far away look in her eyes told me all I needed to know; that if given the chance, she would shed me the way Matthews sheds opposing double teams.<\/p>\n<h2>Aside from getting the ladies flustered off the field, Clay Matthews has established himself as arguably the best pass rusher in the Packers history.<\/h2>\n<p>I talked with Clay about his career, his lineage and the Campbell&#8217;s Chunky &#8220;Sacks for Soup&#8221; campaign.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Talk about the partnership with Campbell\u2019s Chunky Soup.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clay Matthews: For the past year I teamed up with Campbell\u2019s Chunky and created the \u201cSacks for Soup\u201d campaign. For every sack that I was able to get last year, Campbell\u2019s Chunky donated 2,000 cans of soup; 1,000 to a local Green Bay food bank and another 1,000 to the opposing team&#8217;s city. To date, we\u2019ve donated over 40,000 cans of Chunky soup. For every sack, they also donated $1,000, so we were able to get around up to $20,000 for my foundation (CM3 Charitable Fund), so it\u2019s been a fantastic campaign; one that not only provides for myself, but gives back in the process of doing so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favorite kind?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clay Matthews: My favorite kind thanks to the Green Bay weather and obviously a play on the Packers is the Hearty Cheeseburger. They\u2019re all fantastic, so it\u2019s hard to choose, but just like on the commercial, I like the Clam Chowder and the Spicy Quesadilla as well. They\u2019re all really good, so I have to say all three.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kD98tAKjjN8\" width=\"480\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>I thought they\u2019d make you a special kind called \u201cBear Chunks\u201d for the way you\u2019ve annihilated Chicago Bears quarterbacks in your career.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clay Matthews: I\u2019m willing to try! I don\u2019t know if it would be a big seller, but I\u2019d be all for it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaking of the Bears, do you get more amped to play a team like that in Chicago compared to other games, or at this point in your career, are you excited regardless of the opponent?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clay Matthews: It\u2019s just exciting to go out there each and every week. But any time you play a division rival, especially the Bears, there\u2019s always a little extra magnitude put on the game. It\u2019s not so much for playing against those players, but it\u2019s the direct result of playoff implications and the fan involvement, especially playing in Chicago because of the hatred they have for the Packers but the respect they have for the rivalry, so it makes it that much more fun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I write about men\u2019s grooming and I\u2019d be remiss if I didn\u2019t ask you about your great hair. What is the key to having such great hair? Are you lathering it with Campbell\u2019s Chunky? It IS full of vitamins.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clay Matthews: I could be wrong, but I think if I did that I\u2019d have the exact opposite effect. It\u2019s funny, I decided to grow it out in college and I never thought it would get the amount of exposure it does today. But it\u2019s one of those things. I don\u2019t think the fans will allow me to cut my hair, so for the time being, I\u2019m just going to roll with it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who wins an arm wrestling contest between you, your dad (former NFL linebacker Clay Matthews) and your uncle (Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews) right now, and does \u201cOld Man Strength\u201d enter into the equation at all? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clay Matthews: I was about to say, because of old man strength, I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m there quite yet. They would come up with the excuse that they are too tired if they lose. A lot of people would love to see that, and also what our family Thanksgiving dinner football game would be like too. There\u2019s always a lot of thought-provoking ideas when it comes to the legacy of my family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much has your lineage affected the player you\u2019ve become? You\u2019ve got the DNA of these badass old-schoolers. You just had to become a kickass outside linebacker; it\u2019s as simple as that, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clay Matthews: Well, that\u2019s definitely what I thought I was going to grow up and do. I grew up thinking I would be the next great linebacker to follow in my father\u2019s footsteps, and fortunately, it worked out that way. I\u2019m fortunate in having come from where I\u2019m at, but at the same time, it\u2019s a lot of work. I definitely think growing up in my household helped my transition. Having my dad, my uncle and even my grandfather, who played in the NFL, helped me understand the business, that it\u2019s a results-driven business, and that\u2019s part of why I\u2019ve had the success I\u2019ve had so far today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Talk about your Super Bowl experience in XLV versus the Steelers. Your forced fumble on Rashard Mendenhall changed the game and is for a lot of fans your signature play, similar to Jerome Bettis running over Brian Urlacher on a snowy Pittsburgh day. Do you feel that way about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clay Matthews: It happened at the right time, especially on the first play of the fourth quarter with the Steelers driving to take the lead. I was fortunate enough to have led the play in which we come up with the fumble recovery, and then we were able to score and the rest is history. So it\u2019s one of the plays I look back on and am happy it happened in such a big game. And it was great to put in so much work to know that was the play they were going to run. So, yeah, it was a key play, but I\u2019m not going to sit here and think about it too much, especially while I continue to play. Maybe in the future when I\u2019m retired and I look back, I\u2019ll appreciate it more, but for the time being, I\u2019m always trying to figure out the next play, trying to get back to that game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the coolest thing about being Clay Matthews, besides your hair, because that would be too easy? And is there something stressful or challenging about being a public figure, also in that same vein?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clay Matthews: Well, like you said, it\u2019s cool to go into every game and represent yourself accordingly. It\u2019s not difficult to do, but at the same time, with the cameras and people pulling you every which way, you have to manage it. It\u2019s one of those things where you sign up for this lifestyle to put yourself out there, so you try to represent yourself the best way possible. For me, it\u2019s no different, and I like to think I\u2019m a good role model to not only my peers but kids who look up to me that potentially want to play football one day, or whatever life brings them. \u00a0For me, just conduct myself like a professional in all regards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When your career is over, what do you want to be known for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clay Matthews: I\u2019d like to be known for what I accomplished on the field. Not only that, but also the type of person I was in the community. What I brought each and every week and each and every day; not just how I performed on the field, but in the community and how much the fans appreciate the work I put in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clay Matthews could definitely steal my girlfriend and probably yours too, bud.

I\u2019ve done stand-up comedy, I'm a dad, former youth soccer club President, and former team statistician for the oldest indoor football team in the world, the Omaha Beef. I\u2019ve married six couples in 10 years and my Marriage to Still Married ratio is 6:6. I always say, it isn\u2019t so much about the \u201clove,\u201d as it is the tasteless jokes that became vows. \u00a0 I started the I-80 Sports Blog to have all the work I've published located in one place and to write about things I want to write about. I don't take anything too seriously and it is a real time saver.","url":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/author\/paul\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1740\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
