Fathers sometimes have no choice but to discipline their children -- but rarely in the way that unfolded this weekend in the NFL.

Packers guard Jon Runyan Jr. received a letter from his father Jon Runyan, the NFL's vice president of football operations, who notified his son that he has been fined $5,215 for leg whipping an opponent during the first quarter of Green Bay's loss last Sunday to the Giants in London.
