Saints running back Pierre Thomas has been fined $12,500 for a uniform violation and a touchdown celebration in which he placed a bow on a football and gave it to a fan. The fine for the celebration is $7,500. Thomas also violated NFL policies by wearing Christmas-themed green and red tape on his black and gold Saints uniform, and his fine for that is $5,000. Notice of the fines was taped to Thomas' locker by teammates with a big red bow on top as part of a prank. Thomas says he's still happy he ''gave a lucky fan a wonderful gift.'' He says he'd noticed the woman in Saints gear behind the end zone and figured she deserved it.

That’s why we have TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE NFL, where we go to great lengths to tell you who’s the...
