Ex-Bears lineman Olin Kreutz on Aaron Rodgers' 'I own you' taunt: 'I'd like to punch him in his face'
Those are fighting words from the Chicago Bears community.
But the Chicago Bears are simply running out of ways to stop Aaron Rodgers, whose "I still own you!" taunt of the Soldier Field faithful after a touchdown run celebration went viral during the Green Bay Packers victory on Sunday.
"I'd like to punch him in his face," former Bears center Olin Kreutz said Monday on Chicago radio station 670 The Score. "When you see that, that's your first reaction.
Kreutz said Rodgers' explanation that he "blacked out" and saw a Bears fan flipping him the double-bird in the stands to spur his outburst was "a lame excuse."
"You have won a lot of games at Soldier Field," Kreutz said. "Just because you're right, it doesn't make you right for doing it."

Kreutz added that he had more thoughts on the Rodgers incident but that the radio producers would need to use the "dump" button for potential foul language.
