After the against the , someone in the locker room asked Vikings tight end for his gloves to auction them off for charity. Rudolph handed over the gloves he was wearing while he caught the to put the Vikings up 26-20 and end OT, and even signed them, but the gloves ended up in a much different place.I saw this.. its disappointing. A member of the media in the locker room after the Fernando Rodney Jersey 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.. Kyle Rudolph (@KyleRudolph82) The person who asked for the gloves at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, who he did not recognize as a local Vikings reporter, instead put the gloves up for sale on eBay rather than giving them to charity. They were sold for $375.50.And to clarify it was not anyone I knew.. so wasn't a local reporter I see daily or national reporter.
