They say you never really forget how to ride a bike. Even if you haven't done it in a while, they say that it comes back naturally – that something like riding a bike is so ingrained in your very soul, so baked into the fabric of your being, that'd it be impossible to ever truly forget.
I don't know if Aaron Rodgers knows how to ride a bike – he did for all those years at Packers training camp – but that doesn't matter because he's doing us all one better: he's still making fun of the Chicago Bears.
While doing his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers and McAfee got to chatting about how New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner is dealing with a family of bears that continually show up on his property.
It's almost too convenient of an anecdote. When McAfee asked what kind of advice Gardner's getting about the issue, Rodgers wasted no time falling into old habits.
Aaron Rodgers isn't done reminding the Bears who owns them, and never will be
"I think he needs to call up Jordan Love," Rodgers said. "I think he's the owner of them right now."
Rodgers "officially" handed over ownership of the Bears to Love after the Packers' over Chicago in Week 1 of the 2023 season. I guess that's how it works? It must be nice to have such a valuable asset just passed down from Packers QB to Packers QB.
(I'm not sure that Love's played enough games against the Bears to really justify a new ownership agreement quite yet, but if Rodgers is willing to hand over the deed then who am I to get in Love's way? As long as it stays with a Packers QB, we all stay happy.)
All the other stuff with Rodgers aside, it's nice to see that wry smile show up again when talking about the Bears. Spending a decade winning by three scores, in Chicago, never ever got old; you can see how happy it makes him.
It almost makes up for *gestures at everything else that happened between the Packers and Rodgers over the final years.* Rodgers makes too many public statements for his own good, but if he wanted to sprinkle in a few zingers about the Bears – just like this one – every once in a while, I wouldn't complain.
