Butkus on Aaron Rodgers' taunt: 'We'll see who owns who' originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Chicago Bears Hall of Famer Dick Butkus didn't' take it lightly when Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers claimed he still owned the Bears last October.
The quarterback rushed for a touchdown at Soldier Field in the fourth quarter and shouted at Bears fans, "I still own you. I still own you."
Butkus appeared on Wednesday's episode of "Unfiltered with David Kaplan" and said he'd probably need to be detained if he was up against Rodgers in that game.
"I don't understand why every damn Bear doesn't look at that comment and put it in their memory bank," Butkus said. "If I were on the field during the game, well I couldn't do it today, I'd probably get arrested. We'll see who owns who."
