Jerry Jones has officially been fined by the NFL. After going viral for flashing the middle finger at a New York Jets fan on Sunday afternoon, the Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager has been docked six figures.

Earlier in the day, Jones had discussed the "unfortunate" incident and attempted to clear things up by saying that he meant to give the fan a thumbs-up instead of flipping the bird.

“That was unfortunate. There was a swarm of Cowboys fans out front. It was right after we made our last touchdown. I put up the wrong show of hand. The intention was thumbs up," Jones said during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday morning.

Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams was fined $250,000 for flashing his middle finger at a Buffalo Bills fan in 2009, so the fine falls in line with previous punishment from the league.

Moving forward, let's hope Jerry can keep his fingers in order and avoid any further confusion.
