    The Bears and Lions have a pretty intense rivalry.

    Ford, speaking at the Lions Courage House dinner on Tuesday, called -- jokingly, according to the Lions -- the Bears "a bunch of thugs."

    "It was really alive, and it was alive when we played those same bunch of thugs on Monday Night a couple (years ago)," Ford said of the atmosphere at Ford Field last Sunday. "When this place gets going it's electric and we do have wonderful fans. Our fans are amazing and we would love to pay them back and bring home a winner, and I love the way this team is playing right now."

    Sweets's Take: It's so easy to upset the Lions, especially Schwartz who btw is still whining about the hits the refs didn't see or call. A good slap on the back should fix that!

    No kidding. If the Bears are thugs, what does that make the Lions?
