Hall of Fame Chicago Bears linebacker Dick Butkus made a name for himself as a fierce and intimidating linebacker over his nine decorated seasons in the league. Meanwhile Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been one of the best passers of the modern era, dazzling fans with his pinpoint accuracy and improvisation from the pocket. It's tempting for fans of both sides to wonder what it would be like if Butkus and Rodgers ever came face-to-face on the football field. Unless a time machine is created, that will never happen, sadly. However, Butkus, who was just verified on Twitter, gave us a taste of what a social media showdown would be like when he fired a hilarious shot at Rodgers.

That's hilarious. Bears legend Dick Butkus is verified on Twitter and feeling himself. Butkus immediately used his newfound power and authority to fire a warning shot at Packers star Aaron Rodgers, a frequent tweeter himself.
Butkus isn't hitting opposing players on the field anymore, but this was a social media hit reminiscent of some of his hardest ones back in the day with the Bears. Now, Packers fans will wait and see if Rodgers will respond.
Given how Rodgers has dominated the Packers-Bears rivalry in his career, there's probably a clapback bubbling somewhere deep within the heart of Wisconsin.
Bears legend Dick Butkus and Packers star Aaron Rodgers will never get to face off on the football field, but NFL fans will gladly take more hilarious moments like this on social media instead.
