Bears defensive lineman Akiem Hicks angrily responded to and hung up on an ESPN 1000 radio show host Tuesday over a joke about the player’s arm injury.

“We didn’t try to get ourselves into this situation, but we’re doing everything we can to climb out of this hole, so be supportive,” Hicks said before Waddle responded, “You mean you didn’t put your arm in between those two Raiders and it popped out of joint on purpose?
