The Windy City can now let out a big exhale ... Simone Biles has just ensured TMZ Sports she has so much Chicago swag in her closet now, there should be no more Packers attire on her at Soldier Field going forward.

Biles, of course, ruffled plenty of Bears supporters' feathers with her wardrobe earlier this summer ... when she was seen at her hubby Jonathan Owens' Aug. 17 preseason game wearing a grip of Green Bay logos on her jacket.

It obviously wasn't meant to be any shade -- the piece was just a tribute to Owens, who had played for the Bears' biggest rival for the entirety of 2023, before signing on with Chicago this offseason.

Blues Traveler Frontman John Popper 'Memba Him?!

American musician and songwriter John Popper -- best known for his buttery vocals and crazy harmonica solos -- was 27 years old when his band, Blues Traveler, popped off in the mid-'90s with popular songs like "Hook" and "Run-Around!"

Two years after its release, Popper's composing brilliance scored him credit and recognition at the 1996 Grammys ... "Run-Around" won the award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.

In 2016, Popper performed both of these hits for Bernie Sanders' "A Future to Believe In" rally.

Guess what he looks like now three decades later!
