    Detroit Lions vice chairman Bill Ford Jr. might have just added another layer to an already-intense rivalry with the Chicago Bears.

    In rare public comments Tuesday at a charity dinner honoring Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson, Ford referred to the Bears as "thugs."

    In a question-and-answer session at Ford Field toward the end of the dinner, Ford was asked about the atmosphere surrounding the Lions' 40-32 win over Chicago on Sunday. He was enthusiastic.

    Then he talked about Chicago.

    "It was really alive, and it was alive when we played those same bunch of thugs on Monday night, you know, last year," Ford said, referring to the 2011 "Monday Night Football" game between Detroit and Chicago. "When this place gets going, it's electric. We do have wonderful fans; our fans are amazing.

    "We would love to take it back and bring home a winner. I love the way this team is playing right now."

    Coming from the guy whose team has the dirtiest player in football, calling the Bears players "thugs" is laughable.

    Mr Pot meet Mr Kettle.

    Ford should stick to making cars.
