Packers G Jon Runyan Jr. fined $5K by his father, NFL VP of rules Jon Runyan

What's the heaviest punishment you've ever received from your parents? Green Bay Packers guard Jon Runyan Jr. might have you beat.

The third-year player was fined $5,215 for leg-whipping an opponent during last week's game against the New York Giants in London, according to ESPN. Like every NFL player, Runyan received a letter explaining the discipline and warning further offense would mean escalating sanctions.

Unlike every NFL player, the letter came from Runyan's father: NFL vice president of policy and rules administration Jon Runyan. That'll make for some fun Thanksgiving conversation.
