Chicago Bears former linebacker Dick Butkus Kena Krutsinger-USA TODAY Sports

Chicago Bears legend Dick Butkus has been throwing haymakers on Twitter in recent weeks, and not even his own family is safe.

Butkus’ nephew, Luke Butkus, has been an assistant coach with the Green Bay Packers for the past three seasons. He was promoted to offensive line coach this week, and Dick gave him a public shoutout. The Hall of Famer couldn’t do it without taking a shot at the Packers, however.

Butkus, 79, has been quite active on Twitter for a while now. His account was recently verified, and the former linebacker celebrated by taking a shot at Aaron Rodgers.

It’s worth noting that Butkus didn’t fare well against the Packers during his remarkable career. His Bears teams were 4-14 against Green Bay, so fans in Wisconsin always have that to fall back on.
