When Aaron Rodgers shouted back at Bears fans after receiving a double bird: "I f***ing own you"
It's no secret there wasn't much love lost between Aaron Rodgers and the Chicago Bears fan base while he was playing for the Green Bay Packers. And why would there be, as the quarterback dominated the Bears throughout his nearly two decades in Green Bay.
In October 2021 though, Rodgers let his emotions get the best of him and he proceeded to tell share his feelings with Bears fans. The quarterback apparently saw a Bears fan throwing up double birds at him while he was on the field.
He then went on to secure the win for the Green Bay Packers with a touchdown in what was a 24-14 win. After scoring he proceeded to yell towards the crowd, which has now become an infamous moment in the history of the rivalry.
"I still f****** own you!"
Rodgers had a 22-5 record against the Bears as a Packer, so the lack of friendliness between the two is clear.
Rodgers had no regrets about yelling at Bears fans
Days after his memorable win over the Bears, Rodgers appeared on "The Pat McAfee Show" and of course discussed the moment. He said that it definitely wasn't planned and that he actually didn't know what came over him at he moment. He said the Packers' record against the Bears proves his thoughts.
"When I got down to my knee and looked up, all I could see and hear was obscenities. I didn't plan on telling the crowd that I own them. I think based on the statistical reference of my career, win percentage down there against them, definitely our teams have done some good things."
Rodgers then continued by talking about the long rivalry between the Packers and Bears. While the teams' records may impact the rivalry, he said both fan bases have kept the rivalry alive and well.
"For whatever reason, some of that rivalry might wane from year to year but it doesn't wane for the fans, not at all. It doesn't wane for those of us who love the history of the NFL and history of rivalries like this. It's always going to be special. There's been some iconic players who played in this rivalry for the last 100 years."-Aaron Rodgers said
Luckily for the Bears, Rodgers now plays in the AFC and won't be a problem twice a year.
