San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne earned a major bonus last week by surpassing 500 receiving yards for the season against the Indianapolis Colts.
Bourne talked about reaching this milestone with NBC’s Melissa Stark before the 49ers took on the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. During their conversation, Bourne seemingly threw his wife under the bus.

“Kendrick Bourne had a payday last week. He made $500,000 for going over 500 receiving yards,” Stark said on the show. “He told me he was so excited to celebrate with his teammates that he forgot to keep the ball. He was so happy he got it. He said he was glad it was over because he never wanted to create a distraction, but it was the perfect moment right before Christmas because he said, ‘My wife, Vanessa, is expensive. So she was as happy as I was.’
“Yes, Vanessa, he betrayed you. How about this: he has another incentive on the horizon. If he reaches 600 meters, that’s another $250,000 payday.”
