It wasn’t even Jones’ birthday. It was his son’s.
“All the wideouts are in,” Jones threatened. “Every birthday, every anniversary, I’m getting them.”
As it turns out, Jones and his fellow receiver, Greg Jennings, have a long-running practical joke back-and-forth that goes back several years. Jones playfully accused wideout Jordy Nelson of being an accomplice to what happened on Monday: Jennings hiring a local auto repair shop to remove all four tires from Jones’ Chevy Avalanche. The vehicle was then filled with streamers and Silly String, and on the windows Jennings wrote “Go Pack Go” and “Happy Birthday Lil’ J.J.”
It was payback for Jennings, who turned 29 on Sept. 21 and found his car similarly “vandalized” and filled with Styrofoam packing peanuts, courtesy of Jones. Since Jones’ birthday is March 31, Jennings had to get creative. “I’m surprised he drove to work today. He should’ve known better,” Nelson said. “They do this stuff to each other every year.”
