CHICAGO — Tom Brady is widely considered the greatest quarterback in NFL history and has enough going for him that he doesn't need anything as measly as taking part "ownership" of the Chicago Bears. But that didn't stop the owner of seven Super Bowl rings from piling on the misery of Bears fans less than a week after they got owned by Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Pretty Boy Tom is now the next man up for the Bears, who are still smarting from a 10-point loss to their arch rivals last week at Solider Field. Although the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback surely doesn't fall into the double bird category of hatred held by Rodgers, that's not going to stop him from adding another loss to the Bears ledger this weekend. And he will enjoy every single second while talking smack as Tom Brady tends to do with a wide smile on his face. This week proved no different. Brady took aim at Bears quarterback Justin Fields in a news conference for where the first-round draft pick went to school. Brady, a Michigan Man, wondered out loud how many NFL quarterbacks Ohio State has produced outside of Fields, clearly forgetting how much the Buckeyes have owned his Wolverines in recent memory. "I wanted to say congrats to @AaronRodgers12. Obviously, he's a great QB but, I guess he's now a shareholder of the Bears"@TomBrady talks Bears & more Video/Listen 👇🏈 Stitcher – https://t.co/s4nXsBUPV7 Pandora – https://t.co/v5Lu1ATelM Apple – https://t.co/mmObAKi5fa pic.twitter.com/MpW30Yb3V0— SiriusXM NFL Radio (@SiriusXMNFL) October 20, 2021 While Rodgers has piled up more wins (22) against the Bears over his career, Brady, at 44, has five victories of his own. His only loss came last year in Chicago, where the GOAT momentarily spaced out and forgot what down it was during a 20-19 prime-time loss in Chicago. But in true Brady fashion, the hiccup didn't matter, and Brady went on to lead the Bucs to a Super Bowl title in his first year with the team. Brady added some fuel to the fire this week when he referred Rodgers' owning "part of Soldier Field" after his quarterbacking contemporary's profanity-laced message to Bears fans that, for his entire life, he has owned them. As if possessing boyish good looks and being married to a super model wasn't enough to keep all of that winning company, Brady said he didn't need such an ownership stake in the Bears to keep him satisfied. But that didn't prevent him from driving the knife into the side of Bears fans even deeper. "I wanted to say congrats to Aaron Rodgers," Brady said on the SiriusXM podcast "Obviously, he's a great QB but, I guess he's now a shareholder of the Bears." Brady has owned his fair share of opponents, mainly during his 20 years with the New England Patriots. Brady told host Jim Gray that he's good without a piece of the pie of teams such as the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills and that he'd rather own something bigger like the color green. Well, Bears fans — while you're still seething over Rodgers' comments, Brady is coming for a piece of your blue-and-orange hearts this weekend. He likely won't be as smarmy as Rodgers in taking what he wants, but don't be mistaken. Brady's competitiveness knows no bounds, and he isn't afraid to kick someone when they're down. The Bears, like the team's anthem goes, are down. The Bears' defense didn't have any answers for Rodgers and likely won't have any for Brady. Fields may get another crack at another future Hall of Fame quarterback on Sunday in Tampa, but when it's all said and done, the rookie won't do nearly enough for making for another long afternoon for Matt Nagy and his team in a likely loss that will drop the Bears to 3-4 on the season. Unlike Rodgers, Brady won't use his mouth to claim victory over a certain Chicago football team. But by the time Sunday's game ends, his arm will have done enough damage to leave a mark and to leave the hole in the Bears just a little bit bigger.
