This will go in the file with the vanishing jersey of Tom Brady after Super Bowl LI. Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph says a media member — who he did not recognized — has sold the gloves he wore on the catch in overtime that gave the Purple a victory over the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome Sunday.
@KyleRudolph82 You probably already heard this, but looks like someone sold your gloves from the Saints playoff game on ebay already. Hope they didn’t deceive you for a quick buck. pic.twitter.com/CcRlfMcKVl

The Minnesota TE said he was aware of it and disappointed via social media.
I saw this.. it’s disappointing. 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! Well he got me, sold on eBay 3 days later.. https://t.co/JCTO0OWM5n

He isn’t the only one feeling a crime, of sorts, was committed. The Saints think Rudolph should have been called for pass interference on the play that decided the Wild-Card round game in overtime.
