After a disapointing season, Adrian Peterson needed a change. The four-time Pro Bowl tweeted he wanted to change his number from 29 to 21 or 23. A simple request for the start running back, that was until he was informed he would have to purchase any Adrian Peterson No.28 jerseys.
@AdrianPerterson tweeted,: “So here is the deal with the number change! So I received a call and I was informed that I would’ve to buy all jerseys that’s been produced … Thus far! N the total amount that I would have to pay blew my mind!!!!!”
The estimated total cost it would take for Peterson to buy all of his jerseys would be $1 million. Despite making $36 million in guaranteed money from his recently-signed contract extension, Peterson said changing his number is only worth $10,000.
Although it was rumored Vanessa Bryant would be joining the cast of VH1′sBasketball Wives, it looks like she has her eyes for the Hills. Producers of Bravo’sReal Housewives of Beverly Hills are interested in adding the former Mrs. Kobe Bryant next season. With Camille Grammer rumored to be leaving the show and Lisa Vanderpump getting her own spin-off, Bravo execs are hoping their replacements are able to sustain the ratings as the highest rated Housewives series.
In 2009, Bravo tried to recruit Bryant to join the Orange Country franchise, but Kobe Bryant reportedly said no. Bryant is not the first jersey chaser to become a Housewife. Scottie Pippen’s wife was part of the Miami cast, which was canceled after just one season. Much like Beverly Hills cast members Brandi Glanville and Grammer, Bryant is going through a very public divorce with a settlement rumored to be $75 million and includes three of the couples’ homes.
Also on the Bravo RHOBH wish list, reality TV vet Lisa Gastineau, who had her own E! series, Gastineau Girls, with daughter Brittny from 2005-2006. Gastineau was married to NFL player Mark Gastineau before divorcing him in 1991.
After 11-years of jersey chasing, Vanessa Bryant is divorcing LA Laker Kobe Bryant. The reason for the split is said to be because of Kobe’s infidelity. (more…)
