Brady spoke on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Wednesday about the game, and congratulated Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on “owning” the Bears.
“I wanted to say congrats to Aaron Rodgers. Obviously a great quarterback, but I guess he’s now a shareholder of the Bears,” Brady said. “I saw a clip of him really enthusiastically telling the crowd how happy he is to own Soldier Field. That’s really great stuff. He owns the [Milwaukee] Bucks now, part owner of Soldier Field. He’s got a great career beyond football.”

Brady is referencing when Rodgers shouted, “I still own you!” after scoring a touchdown at Soldier Field last Sunday. The Packers won 24-14 over the Bears, moving Rodgers’ all-time record against the Bears to 21-5 during the regular season.
Rodgers later said that he shouted this phrase to the crowd after he noticed a woman in the front flipping him off. With one of the most intense football rivalries in history, Bears fans don’t hold back their feelings for the 17-year Packers quarterback.

But, what teams does the 44-year-old Brady own? The host asked Brady whether he owns a stake in Buffalo; Brady is 32-3 against the Bills in his career.
“Not yet, not yet,” Brady said. “I want to settle for a few things less than that. I’m cool with owning just a few lucky autographs. That’s what I’m the owner of.”
Then, he asked him about the Jets; Brady is 30-8 against them. Brady didn’t hold back on his response to that question.
“Oh, no. I’ll just take the color green. I don’t need the Jets. I’ll just own the color green, I think that’s a little bit better.”
