'It was fun': Packers QB Aaron Rodgers doesn't regret 'I still own you' troll against Bears fans

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers went viral for taunting Chicago Bears fans by telling them: "I still own you." He doesn't regret a single word.Rodgers, the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, was caught on a FOX broadcast microphone telling Chicago Bears fans, "I still own you," and the moment went viral. Some have praised Rodgers for showing emotion while others have been critical, saying his behavior was unsportsmanlike.

The result was an Aaron Rodgers to Randall Cobb touchdown, putting the Green Bay Packers up 17-7 over the Arizona Cardinals during the third quarter of Thursday Night Football.

But on that play, the first of Rodgers' two touchdown passes to Cobb on the night, the facial expression after Rodgers took a late hit (yes, it was called a roughing the passer penalty) had the internet on fire.
