Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III cracked a joke Friday about his $10,000 fine for wearing an "Operation Patience" T-shirt before a preseason game, the Associated Press reports. Griffin was accepting the team's offensive player of the year award at the Redskins' annual Welcome Home Luncheon. He was introduced shortly after an auction that raised money for charity. "Those auctioneers did a good job," Griffin told the crowd. "I would've given them 10 grand, but the NFL took it away from me this week." Griffin adopted "Operation Patience" as his slogan as he slowly increased his practice work during training camp after major knee surgery. He wore a white T-shirt with those words in capital burgundy letters as he warmed up before Monday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The NFL said the T-shirt was "unauthorized apparel."
