A former NFL player has revealed that his mother demanded he pay her one million dollars as the cost for 'raising him for the last 18 years' after he was drafted into the professional league.
Phillip Buchanon was a first-round draft pick for the Oakland Raiders, and seventeenth overall, when his mother made the request in 2002.
Buchanon, who also played for the Houston Texans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions and Washington Redskins before retiring in 2011, discussed the incident in his recently released book New Money: Stay Rich.
'If my mother taught me anything, it's that this is the most desperate demand that a parent can make on a child,' he wrote in an exclusive excerpt released to Fox Sports.

And he had to be a stupid ass and report it.My guess is that she earned every cent of it.
I ain't saying she's a gold digger........
Let me guess he was a greedy minority that didn't want to give her any of his wealth. Douche bag.
Him offering to take care of his mom is one thing. But if she demanded. .I wouldn't give her anything either.
Maybe a good reason he said screw off. Maybe she wasn't all that good of a parent as she claims. Look at Marshall Mathers aka Eminem.
