Roethlisberger on QVC (1 Viewer)

[Man in the yellow hat]

Is this a common thing for NFL players to do? I was flipping through channels, and there he was hocking autographed merchandise on QVC. I was just a little surprised to see him.

Tune in to HSN on Thursday at 9:00 to see JEROME BETTIS guest host the post-SB show, including breaking out a new tee graphic called "Got Rings"...

HSN is the official TV retail partner of the NFL...not sure how QVC's relationship with the NFL works.

He is too busy worrying about what you think of him to sell anything. That's what they said on ESPN anyway.

I wanted a Nick Harper knife set, but his wife bought the whole lot.

The Joe Montana segment won't air. He backed out because of money issues.

That QVC appearance marked the start of a one-year, $1 million exclusive memorabilia deal for Roethlisberger struck by agent Leigh Steinberg's partner Ryan Tollner with Mounted Memories. It requires Roethlisberger to make one corporate appearance and, over the next year, sign a lot of stuff -- jerseys, photos, helmets, etc.

"It actually translates being worth $110-$125 per signature, which is the highest signature for all of pro football for an active player, which is remarkable,'' Steinberg said yesterday. "When he began his rookie year, his signature was going for $20. It's a reflection of his popularity and demand."

---

His rookie contract contained a provision that pays him a $500,000 incentive if the Steelers won the Super Bowl, plus another $750,000 for playing time combined with making the playoffs. He also earned $300,000 for being in the top five in the NFL in passer rating, another $300,000 for being in the top five in average gain per pass and another $153,000 in other statistical incentives.

Thus Roethlisberger, who earned a salary of $655,500 in 2005, more than tripled his football take by earning another $2 million from those incentive bonuses.

That's interesting because Bettis' memorabilia was being sold for about $300 over retail value last night on HSN with his signature and his hologram sticker.
