Fans are coming for an ESPN Milwaukee radio host for his recent commentary leading up to this weekend’s playoff game.

On Wednesday’s episode of “Jen, Gabe & Chewy,” Packers Hall of Famer Mark Chmura suggested that it may be wise of Green Bay to take a late hit penalty on Brock Purdy in order to send a message.

A 15-yard penalty — and I don’t condone this but I kinda do in the playoffs — a 15-yard penalty for a late hit on Brock Purdy is not a bad thing as long as it’s worth it. I’m just sayin’ … Sometimes a 15-yard penalty is worth it early in the game if you knock the living crap out of the guy and then he’s like ‘Ahhh… I’m hearing ghosts.’

Here’s how people reacted to the Super Bowl champ’s comments on Twitter:

“Grow up Peter Pan,” a user replied. “You act like the players are listening and going ‘well, the guys on ESPN radio said to do it [shrugs].’

“Ewwww. Football is dangerous enough. No need to ever cause injury on purpose,” another commented. “Remember. It can always be the team you root for’s player. [Clown].”

“Good luck getting past big 71,” a fan said.

“Why would you want to take out Purdy. Literally weakest link in the team,” another person tweeted.

“Awful.”

Chmura was a three-time Pro Bowl tight end for the Packers in a different era of football from 1993-1999.

Needless to say, his idea hasn’t received a ton of support from his audience.
