Actually it is not often that anyone writes anything about a punter. I saw this on ESPN a few days ago but just haven't had the chance to share this until now. By now you are aware that the Vikings got McNabb to be their quarterback for the upcoming season. You are probably also aware that McNabb has worn the #5 his entire career. #5 on the Vikings was already assigned to punter Chris Kluwe. How did they resolve the matter? Just take a look.
Normally these kind of negotiations lead to someone getting a Rolex, a ton of cash, beer, a vacation or something those lines.
The Jeff Feagles ones are somewhat funny as well.
Last year (2004), he sold No. 10 to rookie Eli Manning in exchange for an all-expenses-paid vacation on the Gulf of Mexico."I bought a new house in Arizona and I'm redoing it. ... So there you have it," he said. "This year it's for an outdoor kitchen."
"The whole family is flying in, we rented a car, rented a house for a week and we'll be relaxing on the beach," Feagles said. "And we're all going to be wearing No. 10 jerseys. I'm actually going to get Eli's address and send him a postcard from there."
But his good-luck tale doesn't stop there.
After fleecing Manning, Feagles switched to No. 17 to commemorate his 17th professional season. But this year the Giants signed free agent Plaxico Burress on March 17 - and the former Pittsburgh receiver had to have the number. Turned out Feagles was happy to commemorate his 18th season - for the right price.
