The NFL fined Packers linebacker Clay Matthews $15,000 hitting 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, but 49ers guard Alex Boone would have preferred handing down a different punishment.

Boone said that if he had his druthers, he would have taken care of Matthews by coming with some knuckles.

Probably punch him in the face,” Boone said, via CSNBayArea.com. “I don’t want his money.”

The 49ers haven’t made any secret of the fact that they don’t like Matthews. The rest of us can only hope we get to see the 49ers and Matthews square off again in the playoffs, as this is quickly becoming one of the NFL’s most heated rivalries.
