Green Bay Packers' cornerback Charles Woodson was recently fined after throwing a punch during the NFL season-opener against the New Orleans Saints. Woodson was fined an amount of $10,000.
Woodson threw the punch in the third quarter of the game, which later turned into a 15-yard penalty against the team's defense.
Woodson would admit he did in fact try throwing a punch, aiming at Saints' tight end David Thomas.
"Yeah, I threw a punch," Woodson said.. "Just got frustrated, the guy was holding me a little longer than I wanted. Nothing was said about it, referee-wise, quick enough, and I reacted. It is what it is, I guess."
The Packers ended up winning the game, however, 42-34.
