In his new book, New Money: Staying Rich, former NFL cornerback Phillip Buchanon wrote that his mother made a sizable monetary request of him after he was drafted 17th overall by the Oakland Raiders in 2002.
From an excerpt of New Money: Staying Rich that appeared on FOX Sports:
Soon after the draft, she [Buchanon's mother] told me that I owed her a million dollars for raising me for the past 18 years. Well, that was news to me. If my mother taught me anything, it's that this is the most desperate demand that a parent can make on a child.
