Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell says he's not bothered by Eagles' DeSean Jackson's taunting

"On the same day DeSean Jackson was fined $10,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct against the Giants last Sunday, the target of the wide receiver's taunt — defensive coordinator Perry Fewell — said he didn't take it personally.

Fewell was admittedly startled after Jackson celebrated a 50-yard gain by lightly throwing a ball into his chest on the sideline. But he was not angered.

"When that incident happened, I just thought it was a hotly tested game at that moment. I just thought he made an error in judgment," Fewell said Friday. "He was just excited about the catch. I think he probably did it by mistake. I don't think he did anything intentionally. It shocked me. But it wasn't about me and wasn't about him at that time. It was about me getting that next call out and let's play the game.

"He didn't say anything. I think he got caught up in the moment and flipped the ball towards me."

Jackson wasn't the only Eagle hit by the league Friday. LB Brian Rolle was fined $10,000 for celebrating a tackle with a fake machine gun in his hands, and DT Trevor Laws was hit with a $7,500 penalty for his block on Eli Manning following an interception in the first half.

Reminded that Jackson's penalty had helped negate the 50-yard gain, Fewell laughed and said, "I should probably thank him.""
