After the Seahawks beat the Lions, Seattle defensive lineman Michael Bennett had a unique reason for disliking Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford.

“I don’t like Matt Stafford that much,” Bennett said. “[H]e’s from Dallas and Dallas, they killed the President,” Bennett said. “It’s where JFK, one of the greatest Presidents, died at so I just have a little hatred towards him.”

The Bears play the Lions on Sunday, and Michael’s brother, Martellus, plays tight end in Chicago. So, naturally, Martellus was asked by reporters on Wednesday to address Michael’s feelings about Stafford’s hometown.

Said Martellus of Michael, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press: “He’s an asshole.”

Michael has gotten the last word, for now. According to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, Michael said in response regarding Martellus: “He’s a rich asshole.”

Regardless of whether either or both is right, it’s good to know that Denis Leary finally has company.
