Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph thought he was signing the gloves he wore during Sunday’s playoff win over the New Orleans Saints for a charity benefit, but they instead ended up on eBay and were sold for $375 — plus nearly seven bucks for shipping.
The two-time Pro Bowler said Wednesday he was fooled by an unnamed “member of the media,” who approached him in the locker room after he caught the game-winning touchdown.
“A member of the media in the locker room after the game asked if he could have my gloves for a charity benefit, so I said of course and I will even sign them for you!” Rudolph tweeted.
“Well he got me, sold on eBay 3 days later.”
He later added: “And to clarify it was not anyone I knew.. so wasn’t a local reporter I see daily or national reporter. Locker room was a zoo, he asked for them, I said of course and even offered to sign them…”
The Vikings will be in San Francisco on Saturday to play the 49ers in the NFC divisional round.
