A propos of nothing except that Seattle is playing, today I learned that Chris Carson is the cheapest athlete in professional sports.
Quote:
Once the car deal expired, Carson reluctantly bought a $39,000 jeep. “That hit my pockets kind of big,” he told KIRO-AM radio. “I was not happy about having to buy that.” To this day, if you’d like a ride from Carson, you better have gas money. “It’s only like $2.40, so I want to make sure I get that $2.40 out of you,” he said.
Carson doesn’t pay for his own Netflix, Hulu or any other service. He only flies first class if the team foots the bill. He escaped the dreaded rookie dinner in 2017 but once had to spend $290 on Chick-fil-A for the offensive line. “That hurt me,” said Carson, who mostly eats at the Seahawks’ facility because “the food is free.”
