A Little Diversion into the Sports WorldThe Minnesota Vikings'
prospective new owner Reggie Fowler got into hot water after distributing a biography that claimed he had played in the NFL, CFL and the Little League World Series.
This is kind of funny, because about a year ago a friend of mine, who works as a banker, mentioned that he was looking at financing some car washes for a former NFL player named Reggie Fowler. I did some poking around in my reference books and told him I could find no record of Mr Fowler playing in the NFL.
Here's the punchline. Fowler represents himself as being worth $400 million or more. My friend said that in the financials he saw, only a year ago, remember, Fowler claimed a net worth of $120 million, and some of that was hard to evaluate.
