Jordan Love Girlfriend Savagely Trolls Cowboys ... Where Dem Boyz Going?!
Jordan Love’s longtime GF Ronika Stone could hardly wait to roast "Dem Boyz" after the Cowboys lopsided loss to the Packers on Sunday ... the pro volleyball player had some (good-natured fun) at the expense of a bunch of Dallas fans who hit the exits early!
Of course, the Cowboys lost 48-32 (they were down 27-0 in the first half) ... and Stone, the First Lady of Cheesehead Nation, had a prime seat, sitting mid-field as she watched her man carve up the Dallas defense.

Stone made a beeline for IG in the second half, mocking the Cowboys for the L as she took video of fans leaving early.
“Leaving so soon Cowboys fans?!” Stone gleefully asked.
“What happened? I thought we were Dem Boyz,” she continued, as her sister laughed in the background.
Savage.
Ronika -- a former standout athlete at the University of Oregon -- didn't stop with just an IG story post ... she also headed for TikTok to talk a little trash.
“Just checking in to see if y’all are still dem boyz?!”
Love played out of his mind on Sunday, throwing for 272 passing yards and 3 touchdowns. He completed over 76% of his passes and finished with a near-perfect QB rating.
Jordan's performance was one of the best playoff debuts ever for a QB, bottom line.
Chances are things are going to get a good deal harder this weekend when the Packers go on the road to face the #1 seed 49ers, who are 9.5-point favorites (GB was 7.5 dogs to DAL).
Ronika, we'll see ya at Levi's Stadium!

Dez Bryant Blasts Cowboys During Shocking Packers Loss ... 'Too Damn Talented For This'
Dez Bryant was posting through the pain during the Cowboys' shocking loss to the Packers on Sunday ... sharing his roller coaster of emotions on social media as his beloved team got booted from the playoffs.
The former All-Pro receiver was high on Dallas before kickoff ... saying he was "feeling EXTREMELY EXTREMELY great" about America's Team and claiming a $10,000 payday was on the line.
Cowboys nation! I’m feeling EXTREMELY EXTREMELY great about the boys today! 10k confirmed ….Ready to smoke on that Packers pack!! 💨 Let’s go! 🔥🔥 💙 ⭐️ pic.twitter.com/7r7KwilrL9
— Dez Bryant (@DezBryant) January 14, 2024 @DezBryant
But things quickly went south for Dez ... as Green Bay came out strong with a 27-0 lead and never looked back.
That's when Dez -- who played for the Cowboys from 2010-2017 -- started to unravel.
"Idk wtf going on but we really need straighten up," Dez said ... still holding out hope for a comeback. He later bashed Cowboys staffers ... adding, "Playing (sic) calling trash as f*** right now."
As Dallas started to pick things up in the second half, Dez remained optimistic ... saying, "I still believe in us… game not over" and "If we can score one more time before the 3rd up. I like our chances."
In fact, he claimed he was about to make a live bet on Dallas completing the comeback ... but shortly after, he accepted the inevitable outcome.
"Yea this one might be over."
Bryant gave his two cents on the future of the Cowboys ... saying the organization should fire defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
"Quinn was ready to leave Dallas," Dez posted. "Fire his ass Jerry and give him his wish."
But it doesn't sound like Bryant is solely putting the blame on Quinn ... as he said the current roster was "too damn talented for this."
Green Bay ended up taking the 48-32 victory ... securing a spot in the Divisional Round, where they'll face the San Francisco 49ers. It was certainly not what people were expecting ... as Dallas was believed to be a Super Bowl contender, and the Packers snuck into the postseason with a 10-8 record.
Gotta give Dez credit for being 100% real throughout his heartbreak ... and he got over his troubles with the help of an adult beverage.
"Going to grab a drink smh."

Brett Favre is Love-ing what he's seeing from Jordan Love ... telling TMZ Sports he's been wildly impressed with what the young signal-caller has done in Green Bay this year.
"All I can say is wow," Favre told us.
Love has come on strong over the last couple months to lift Green Bay to a playoff appearance -- something Aaron Rodgers couldn't do in GB last year -- and Favre says it's quite frankly blown him away.
"Right now," the Packers legend said, "he's playing as good as any quarterback in the league."
Favre openly admits he didn't believe the Packers had a chance to make the postseason prior to the start of the year ... but Love's play has obviously changed things.
Now, it's all got Favre wondering if the team could actually upset the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card-round this weekend.
"Dallas is going to be a tough opponent," Favre said, "but I'd hate to be the team that has to play the Packers in the playoffs."
Kickoff for the big game is slated for 1:30 PM -- and while the Pack are 7.5-point underdogs, it's clear Favre wouldn't be shocked to see Green Bay advance.
As for the advice he'd give to the 25-year-old QB heading into his firs-ever postseason tilt -- Brett says it'd be simple ... "Enjoy the moment."
"You can only play in your first playoff game one time," Favre said. "Enjoy the moment."

Packers' Jaire Alexander Suspended Over Coin Toss Debacle ... At Panthers Game

Breaking News

Jaire Alexander's eyebrow-raising actions during Sunday's pregame ceremonies have just cost him dearly ... because the Packers revealed Wednesday they're suspending him for the debacle.
If you missed it, the Green Bay cornerback ruffled some serious feathers over the weekend when he nearly blew the coin toss for his team just prior to its tilt with the Panthers in Carolina.
Alexander unexpectedly joined the Packers' captains at midfield ... called tails, and when he told the refs he wanted to start the game on defense -- it almost cost the Pack a possession.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Thankfully for Alexander and Green Bay, the snafu got cleared up and the team went on to win 33-30 ... but on Wednesday, the Packers made it clear they're furious over the situation.
General manager Brian Gutekunst said the 26-year-old has been banned one game for the incident ... adding in a statement, "Jaire's actions prior to the game in Carolina led us to take this step."
"As an organization, we have an expectation that everyone puts the team first."
Gutekunst also said the team and Alexander had a conversation about the situation Wednesday morning and the org. "fully" expects him "to learn from this as we move forward together."
Alexander has not publicly commented since the ban was announced -- though in a postgame meeting with reporters Sunday, he didn't show much remorse for his actions ... appearing to say he took it upon himself to go out with the captains since the Packers were playing in his hometown of Charlotte.
Jaire Alexander wasn’t announced by the Packers as a game captain, but he went out for the coin toss anyway. And called it. And won it. And almost messed it up.

Sounds like he just did it on his own.
“It’s only suiting. I don’t think coach knew I was from Charlotte.” pic.twitter.com/EVahq6QoOJ
Alexander is widely regarded as one of the best young corners in the game -- he's made two Pro Bowls in his six-year career -- although injuries have sidelined him for most of this season.
The 7-8 Packers -- who are currently on the outside of the NFC playoff picture looking in -- will finish out the regular season with games against Minnesota and Chicago.

Simone Biles No estoy embarazada!!! ... Acalla los rumores
Simone Biles quiere que todo el mundo deje de hablar sobre los rumores de embarazo, asegurándole a sus fans que no está esperando un bebé en el corto plazo después de que un reciente post en Instagram despertara las especulaciones.
Los fans de Biles comenzaron a conjeturar después de que la mejor gimnasta de todos los tiempos publicara una foto suya en el partido de los Packers vs. Giants el lunes, al que asistió para ver a su marido Jonathan Owens hacer lo suyo.
Algunos seguidores sintieron que la imagen ofrecía algún indicio de que ella podría estar embarazada, con uno diciendo: "Esta foto está enviando vibraciones de bebé".
Otro fan comentó: "¿Está embarazada? Estoy tan feliz por ellos!! ❤️❤️❤️"
Sin embargo, Biles, que se casó con Owens en abril, tuvo que poner fin a todas las habladurías y aclaró todo en su perfil el miércoles por la mañana.
"Odio tener que abordar esto, pero por favor dejen de comentar en esta foto o en mi Instagram en general que estoy embarazada", dijo Biles.
"No estoy embarazada".
Cuando se comprometieron el año pasado, sin embargo, Biles hizo mención durante un Q&A que Owens, que firmó un contrato de 1 año con los Packers en mayo, quiere un "equipo de fútbol" en el futuro y ella solo quiere dos niños.
Parece que su objetivo en este momento es llegar a los Juegos Olímpicos de París 2024 y los bebés vendrán en una fecha posterior.
Simone Biles I'm Not Pregnant!!! ... Shuts Down Rumors
Simone Biles wants everyone to pump the brakes on all the pregnancy talk ... assuring her fans she is not expecting a baby anytime soon after a recent Instagram post was met with speculation.
Biles' fans started to wonder after the gymnastics G.O.A.T. posted a photo of herself at the Packers vs. Giants game on Monday ... where she watched her husband, Green Bay safety Jonathan Owens, do his thing.
Some followers felt like the picture gave some sort of hint she was carrying a bun in the oven ... with one saying, "Picture is sending baby vibes."
Another fan commented, "Is she expecting?? I'm so happy for them!!❤️❤️❤️"
However, Biles -- who got married to Owens this April -- had to put a stop to all the chatter ... and cleared the air on her profile Wednesday morning.
"I hate that I even have to address this, but please stop commenting on this photo or my Instagram in general about me being 'pregnant,'" Biles said on Wednesday.
"I'm not pregnant."
When they got engaged last year, however, Biles did mention during a Q&A that Owens -- who signed a 1-year deal with the Packers in May -- wants a "football team" of kids in the future ... and she only wants two.
It seems her focus right now is making it to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games ... and the babies will come at a later date.

"So," he added, "I'm just trying to enjoy it."

LeRoy Butler is loving what he's seeing from Jordan Love and his former Packers squad so much ... he tells TMZ Sports he can "absolutely" see the team making a deep run in the postseason.
We spoke with the Green Bay legend following the Pack's upset win over the Chiefs at Lambeau Field ... and he made it crystal clear to us that he's fired up about his old team's potential.
"We're so excited for Jordan Love," Butler said ... before adding, "Listen, he's on fire."
Butler then actually sent a thank you message to the New York Jets ... believing they did his Packers a favor by acquiring Aaron Rodgers in an offseason trade.
"See, now it's a band," Butler said of the Love-led Packers. "Not just a solo act. That's the difference."
Butler tells us he thinks the Packers' hot streak -- which now includes wins in four of their last five games -- will continue ... explaining he thinks the roster is too young to be affected by potential trap games or treacherous road matchups.
Up next for Green Bay is a Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants ... and in a month from now, maybe a playoff game will be on Green Bay's schedule?? Butler certainly thinks so!!

Taylor Swift Crashes Lambeau Field To See Travis Take on GB Packers!!!
Taylor Swift is in Wisconsin to watch Travis Kelce, take on the Packers -- the first time in a while that she's been to one of his games ... and she may serve as a good luck charm.
The pop star touched down in Green Bay Sunday ahead of Sunday's big NFL matchup -- and it looks like she's dressed for the snowy weather out there ... rolling into Lambeau Field with a bright red trench coat and looking all bundled up alongside Brittany Mahomes.

We're in December now ... and the temps have certainly dropped from when she was hitting up TK's games earlier in the fall. Gotta rock the right gear this time of the year ... it's chilly.
Anyway, TayTay and co. had themselves a nice private box suite just like they usually do -- but it was way harder to see her this time around as the camera panned to her ahead of the broadcast ... y'know, on account of the heavy snowfall and all. Still, she was there!
In fact, Taylor's been hanging out with Travis this whole past week -- and there's even a photo of the two of them circulating online that appears to show them at a holiday party.
It just shows how serious they are ... as soon as she wrapped her gigs in Brazil a week or so ago -- she jetted on over to Kansas City and has been with her boyfriend ever since ... including right now, which feels like old times yet again.
We haven't seen Taylor attend one of Travis' games in a minute -- but that's just because her schedule got really busy. It seems like whenever she can, she'll be there front and center.
It's funny ... some people have noticed that Travis actually tends to play better, objectively, whenever Taylor's in the building -- so people will definitely be looking to see his stats today.
In any case, Tayvis is going strong ... and the NFL, we're sure, is glad to have her back.

Broncos' Kareem Jackson Gets Racist DM After Packers Game
UPDATE
The NFL was quick to punish Kareem Jackson for his hit on Musgrave ... suspending him four games for "violations of unnecessary roughness rules" against the Packers.
In a letter to Jackson, the NFL's VP of football operations Jon Runyan explained the decision ... saying, "On the play in question, you delivered a forceful blow to the head/neck area of a defenseless receiver, when you had the time and space to avoid such contact."
"You could have made contact with your opponent within the rules, yet you chose not to."
Runyan also pointed out it wasn't Jackson's first offense ... as he was hit with several personal fouls for violating player safety-related rules.
Jackson can appeal ... but as it stands right now, he is slated to miss the Broncos' matchup against Kansas City, Buffalo, Minnesota and Cleveland.
Broncos defensive back Kareem Jackson received a racist message following his ejection from the Packers game Sunday ... and he was so angry with the comment, he called out the sender publicly.
The DM was sent to Jackson's Instagram account just after he was booted from Denver's 19-17 win over Green Bay for illegally hitting Luke Musgrave in the head and neck area.

The message, apparently sent from a man named Philipp, read, "Stop behaving like a f***ing n** 🤡"
Minutes later, the 35-year-old safety -- who was actually ejected from the Broncos vs. Commanders game earlier this season as well -- reposted the message ... and was clearly fuming over its content.
"I wanna make sure you get the attention you're looking for," Jackson said. "I want your friends and family to know what type of racist person you really are over a game."
"I'll repost all this week so it doesn't go unnoticed. Don't worry, IG tough guy."
Jackson later revealed he got another inappropriate message on the app ... one he was also furious about.
"Another IG tough guy," Jackson wrote after reposting the DM to his 120,000 followers. "This what we deal wit because we are athletes on a regular. Disgruntled fans that hide behind social media knowing it wouldn't end well in person. Enjoy this fame Daniel."
This is the second time a high-profile player has called out fans for their messages on Instagram this season ... earlier this year, Vikings star Alexander Mattison said he got over 60 hate notes from fans, with some including the N-word.

Green Bay Packers Fan Dumps Beer On Amon-Ra St. Brown ... During TD Celebration
A Green Bay Packers fan was so annoyed with Amon-Ra St. Brown following his touchdown on Thursday night, he dumped his beer all over the Lions star's head.
The incident happened in the first quarter of Detroit's "Thursday Night Football" game against Green Bay ... when St. Brown hauled in a 24-yard TD -- and then headed for some front-row seats to celebrate with Lions fans.
The 23-year-old did his version of the Lambeau Leap -- jumping over a wall behind the end zone into the waiting arms of several people decked out in blue and silver -- and while he initially was having a good time, a Green Bay fan decided to ruin the moment.

You can see in a replay of the celly, the Packers fan reached out with his drink and poured it on St. Brown's helmet. Just seconds later, the wide receiver hopped down and rejoined his team.
It's unclear if the fan was punished for the act ... or if St. Brown even noticed amid all the chaos in the stands. After the game, though, he did joke about the celebration to reporters, saying, "I lost my Lambeau Leap virginity."

The 25-year-old rolled up to the big "Thursday Night Football" matchup against the Packers in nothing but orange overalls, boots, and a cowboy hat.
The guy absolutely crushed the look ... and it was so great -- the Lions just had to make it the final picture of their pregame Instagram carousel.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
"All I can say is...," the team wrote on its social media page, "swipe until the end 😂."
The rest of the Lions opted for more muted outfits ahead of their NFC North clash ... with star quarterback Jared Goff sportin' simply jeans and a flannel.
No matter which look you prefer -- ya gotta give Jones credit for putting it all out there.
Now, will he be able to back it up with a good performance on the field against the Pack? Kickoff is in just a few minutes ... stay tuned!!

NFL's Jonathan Owens Defends Simone Biles ... After Fan Calls Gymnast 'So F***ing Rude'
Jonathan Owens is firing back at a fan who said his wife, Simone Biles, was a complete jerk while out on a recent shopping trip ... saying the accusations are all a lie.
The fan claimed the unpleasant run-in with the gymnastics star happened several months ago at a makeup store she had been working at.
In a series of tweets, the woman said Biles was "so f***ing rude" ... and, at one point during the shopping spree, denied her coworker a picture with her daughter while at check out.
She claimed Biles said at the time, "Absolutely not. Your daughter is 4 she doesn't even know me." She also said the 26-year-old complained to the store manager about being watched while she was perusing through items.
"For months after," the woman wrote in one of her tweets, "every time I'd see new about her and they would call her sweet I just recall how mean she was for no reason. When she left we all were like 'what the f*** just happened.'"
But, Owens -- the Green Bay Packers defensive back who married Biles earlier this year -- called cap on the story in his own series of posts on X on Thursday ... saying Biles is the "sweetest person in the world."
"Spreading lies on the internet is crazy," he said. "It's okay for her to deny a picture. People don't understand sometimes you just want to shop in peace, if she stops and takes one picture people will just keep following her and won’t leave us alone."
"And another thing," he continued, "I've never heard her talk to someone like that, especially to someone who asked her for a picture, like why would you try to make her look like that."
"I’m not going for that, I don't play bout my baby."
Since Owens' tweets, the woman has made her account private. It's unclear if she's issued a response to it all.

The best QB of the 2020 NFL Draft class might not end being Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts OR Tua Tagovailoa ... at least, that's according to LeRoy Butler -- who tells TMZ Sports it could actually be Jordan Love!!
The Packers legend made the eyebrow-raising claim following Green Bay's win in Week 1 ... explaining he thinks that after sitting behind Aaron Rodgers the past three years, Love could now be best set up for success out of all the '20 signal-callers.
"I think he may be better than those guys," the Packers legend said, "because he's going to have that opportunity because he had to sit and wait."
Sunday's victory over the Bears marked just the second time ever that Love has started an NFL game ... but Butler was clearly impressed.
The Hall of Fame defensive back loved the way the 24-year-old -- who the Packers took with the 26th overall selection in 2020 behind Burrow, Herbert and Tagovailoa -- played within himself ... and he liked it so much, he now believes there's a chance Love finishes his career as 2020's best pick.
Butler actually compared the situation to his own career ... saying that while 47 guys were drafted ahead of him -- and played way more than him as a rookie -- he's now got a bust in Canton.
"There's a lot of guys who went before me," the 1990 second-round pick said. "But I'm in the Hall of Fame -- and they're not."
As for the man who Love replaced this year ... Butler spoke with us about the season-ending injury Rodgers suffered on Monday night -- and he suggested the quarterback "get some therapy ASAP" to make sure he's mentally ready to start his comeback journey.

LeRoy Butler Jordan Love Podría Ser El Mejor De La Clase '20 ¡¡¡Por encima de Burrow, Herbert, Tua!!!
El mejor quarterback de la clase 2020, de la NFL Draft, podría no terminar siendo Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts O Tua Tagovailoa, al menos, de acuerdo a LeRoy Butler, quien le dijo a TMZ Sports que en realidad podría ser ¡¡Jordan Love!!
La leyenda de los Packers hizo la afirmación después de la victoria de Green Bay en la Semana 1, explicando que después de sentarse detrás de Aaron Rodgers en los últimos 3 años, Love podría estar mejor preparado para el éxito de todos los '20 signal-callers.
"Creo que puede ser mejor que esos chicos", dijo la leyenda de los Packers, "porque va a tener esa oportunidad porque tuvo que sentarse y esperar".
La victoria del domingo sobre los Bears marcó apenas la segunda vez que Love inicia un partido de la NFL, pero Butler quedó claramente impresionado.
Al back defensivo del Salón de la Fama le encantó la forma en que el jugador de 24 años -a quien los Packers tomaron con la 26ª selección global en 2020 detrás de Burrow, Herbert y Tagovailoa- jugó... y le gustó tanto, que ahora cree que hay una posibilidad de que Love termine su carrera dentro de la mejor selección de 2020.
Butler de hecho comparó la situación con su propia carrera, diciendo que aunque 47 chicos fueron reclutados antes que él, y jugaron mucho más que él, como novato- ahora tiene un busto en Canton.
"Hay un montón de tipos que estuvieron por delante de mí", dijo el elegido en segunda ronda en 1990. "Pero yo estoy en el Salón de la Fama y ellos no".
En cuanto al hombre que Love sustituyó este año, Butler habló con nosotros sobre la lesión que dejó fuera de la temporada a Rodgers y que sufrió el lunes por la noche y sugirió que el quarterback "vaya a terapia lo antes posible" para asegurarse de que está mentalmente preparado para iniciar su regreso.

Brett Favre believes Aaron Rodgers will be back on the field next year ... and when he ultimately straps on his helmet and shoulder pads again -- the Packers legend tells TMZ Sports the QB will be "as good, if not better, than ever."
Of course, Favre says there's at least some chance Rodgers calls it a career after he snapped his Achilles during his Jets debut on Monday night ... but as a guy who's spent years around the signal-caller, Favre just doesn't see a way this is the end for Rodgers.
"I personally think that he will come back," Favre said. "I don't see him going out like this."
And, if and when he returns to the Big Apple, Favre has no doubts Rodgers will find success again.
Aaron Rodgers Out For Season With Torn Achilles
In fact, Brett says he plans on reaching out to his former teammate soon to make sure the future Hall of Famer gets that message.
"It seemed to me from the outside looking in they had a good thing going there," Favre said of Rodgers' time in New York. "Just the vibe I was getting. If that's the case -- if he felt that way too, give it a shot. That's what I would tell him."
For Rodgers' part, he certainly seems like a guy that's not ready to quit ... just a day before he had surgery to repair his damaged leg, he wrote in an Instagram post that he "shall rise yet again."
As for this season, Favre says there's still a lot of help Rodgers can provide to his team ... telling us new starter Zach Wilson could certainly use the 39-year-old's support going forward.
