Saints' Thomas penalized for putting Christmas bow on football

The National football league ended up some pricey coal into Pierre Thomas' stocking Thursday.

They running back, who drawn a golden bow from his uniform pants in Monday night's game and stuck it around the football after his 4-yard TD run within the first quarter versus. the Falcons, was penalized $7,500 for breaking the league rule which states the ball cannot be utilized for a celebratory prop.

Thomas gave the ball to some fan after decorating it, an action that also incurred a 15-yard penalty.

There is however more. Thomas was one of many Saints who used red-colored and eco-friendly sports tape on the arms and ankles to celebrate the holiday season (the overall game was performed 12 ,. 26). The National football league docked him another $5,000 for your.

Regardless of the bow antics, Thomas appeared unbowed by his punishment, opining that a minimum of he "gave a lucky fan an excellent gift."
