Shae Peppler Cornette might not be as well-known as other ESPN employees, but she certainly commanded attention this week.
The ESPN host is usually in the studio covering sports, but things changed this week.
Cornette was a Chicago Bears reporter for Fox 32 prior to joining ESPN. She even hosted her own weekly sports program, “Bears Unleashed.”
On top of that, she also worked for the Big Ten Network and The Chicago Huddle on ABC 7.
Bears fans love her. Their feelings were certainly hurt by her actions.
As part of ESPN’s “50 States in 50 Days” tour, Shae Peppler Cornette was in Wisconsin with Ryan Clark this Friday to watch the Green Bay Packers during their opening week of training camp.
Even though she is a die-hard Chicago Bears fan, she would find herself rocking enemy colors. Cornette was sporting a Green Bay Packers jersey while at Lambeau Field.
Prior to this Friday’s edition of “SportsCenter,” Shae Peppler Cornette took to her Instagram story and apologized to Bears fans.
“I’m sorry Bears fans…this was the hand I was dealt,” Cornette wrote.
The Green Bay Packers finished the 2024-2025 NFL regular season with an 11-6 record. They secured the 7th seed in the NFC playoffs and got ousted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card round.
In the 2024 NFL season, the Chicago Bears finished with a record of 5-12 and placed fourth in the NFC North and 13th in the NFC.
The Chicago Bears’ last winning season was in 2018 when they finished with a 12-4 record and won the NFC North division.
The fan base is tired of losing, but they also have hope.
The Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus at the end of the season and hired Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as their next head coach.
In 17 games last season, Caleb Williams recorded 3,541 passing yards and 20 touchdowns and should be able to improve with Johnson in his ear throughout the year.
