Bah humbug - New Orleans Saints' Alvin Kamara fined for Christmas cleats

METAIRIE, La. -- The Grinch came after Alvin Kamara's Christmas-themed cleats, after all.

The New Orleans Saints running back was fined $5,000 by the NFL for wearing a pair of red and green cleats that didn't match his uniform colors while rushing for six touchdowns on Christmas Day. Apparently they don't even bend the rules when a player ties a 91-year-old league record.

Kamara was also fined $6,079 for wearing similarly-themed cleats around Christmas time in 2017.
