2. Frank Gore Was Penalised For Excessive Ankle Display
The estimated total fine amount for 2013 was $10,500.
The NFL actually fined three-time Pro Bowl running back Frank Gore $10,500 for wearing his socks too low. During the NFC Championship game between the Atlanta Falcons and Gore's San Francisco 49ers, the league's uniform policy was broken.
