Aaron Rodgers is still finding new ways to hilariously roast the Bears

It doesn't seem as if Aaron Rodgers will ever stop taking shots at the Chicago Bears.

It's no secret that Aaron Rodgers dominated the Chicago Bears during his days with the Green Bay Packers.

In 29 regular-season games against the Monsters of the Midway, the four-time NFL MVP went 24-5, throwing 64 touchdowns against just 10 interceptions with an overall passer rating of 109.0.

He also won his lone postseason contest against Chicago, with the Packers defeating the Bears by a score of 21-14 in the NFC Championship Game of the 2010 season. Green Bay, of course, then went on to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl.

So, yeah, with a 25-5 overall record, Rodgers really wasn't lying when he famously yelled "I own you" to a group of Bears fans at Soldier Field a few years back.

Bears fans as a whole had to be thrilled when the 10-time Pro Bowler was traded to the New York Jets last April, as they obviously didn't have to see him take it to their team twice a year. But that doesn't mean they've completely escaped his wrath.

After Green Bay soundly defeated Chicago by a score of 38-20 to open the 2023 campaign, a win in which Jordan Love threw for 245 yards and three touchdowns, Rodgers announced during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show that he actually sent his successor a congratulatory text message.

"I said congratulations on keeping the ownership in place," Rodgers said. "That was pretty awesome for him."

Now, more than a year later, Rodgers apparently isn't yet ready to let go of his disdain for his former NFC North rivals, as he took yet another dig at the Bears while simultaneously praising the Packers.

Aaron Rodgers continues to troll the Chicago Bears

Making his weekly appearance with McAfee on Tuesday afternoon, Rodgers hit on a number of topics, one of which was his former division.

For starters, he showered praise upon Jared Goff, who's helped the Detroit Lions to a 7-1 record at the midway point of this 2024 NFL season. McAfee then took his turn and expressed his admiration for the division as a whole.

"The NFC North is the f*****g real deal right now," McAfee started. "Real deal."

And Rodgers' reply? "Yeah, I mean, they got three really good teams."

In the immortal words of Michael Scott: Boom! Roasted!

Obviously, Rodgers was referring to the Lions, Vikings, and Packers. And it had to be nice for Cheeseheads to hear their former quarterback give Green Bay a compliment, because that doesn't always happen.

Even when McAfee attempted to defend the Bears a bit, saying, "They're figuring it out up there in Chicago," Rodgers doubled down, stating, "They still gotta play the Pack twice." So, that was nice of him.

Don't get things twisted, though. Rodgers still took some shots at the Green Bay front office when discussing the NFL trade deadline. So, at least he evened things out this time. And let's get real. It's always easy to score points with Packers fans by taking shots at the Bears.
