Packers' Jones: TD wave wasn't worth fine, but it's 'a dope picture'
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones had a big performance against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5, tying a franchise record with four rushing touchdowns in his team's 34-24 win.
Jones also picked up a big fine from the NFL for taunting Cowboys cornerback Byron Jones en route to the end zone. While the Packers rusher isn't happy about being out that money, he did like the photo that came out of it.
"I can't say it was worth it, but the picture is a dope picture," he said Friday of the $10,527 fine, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. "I can't argue with that. I'm going to have that blown up one day in my house. I definitely got a nice picture out of it, but it hurts my pocket a little bit. I want that money."
The 24-year-old added that he plans to appeal the fine and hopes to have it reduced as a first-time offender.
