With what appears to be a champagne bottle in her hand, Shondra Hall was approached by cameraman Datone Jones in a video he posted on his Twitter account.

Prompted by her son and Vikings free-agent acquisition to describe how she felt after receiving his Mother's Day gift, she cracked a big smile and declared it "the best present a son can give his mother on Mother's Day."

The saying "go big or go home" implies you can't do both.

Well, in buying his mom a house, Jones showed everyone what he thinks of implications .. and maybe sayings, too.

Who says you can't put a price on love?
