Well, not exactly. However, Reggie Fowler, the multimillionaire entrepreneurial tycoon who is planning to buy the Minnesota Vikings from its current owner, the multimillionaire entrepreneurial tycoon Red McCombs, is currently having a bit of a fuss with the press concerning his resumé--which contains, shall we say, several items that have been slightly exaggerated:

Fowler met with the Twin Cities media to accept responsibility for inaccuracies in a biography distributed earlier this week by a public relations firm he's using. He also attempted to repair his image and pledged his sincerity and passion to fans.

His original bio claimed he played in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals, in the Canadian Football League with the Calgary Stampeders and in the Little League World Series as an 11-year-old.

Fowler, a star linebacker at Wyoming, was cut in training camp by the Bengals and also by the Edmonton Eskimos -- not the Stampeders. Clarifying the Little League confusion, Fowler said he played with an all-star team at a tournament in California that was called the World Series.

Though he refused to declare any parts of the botched bio embellishments or deceptions, Fowler acknowledged that he intentionally doctored his resume years ago -- to show he graduated from Wyoming with a degree in business administration and an emphasis in finance.

Fowler, who took business classes but actually received a degree in social work, said he fudged his resume after graduating in the early 1980s to look better for prospective employers.

As for the CFL confusion? Fowler said he remembered Thursday -- by looking at a W-2 form -- that he reported to Calgary initially before being sent to Edmonton, where he was cut after a brief stint.

The biography came from his office in Chandler, Ariz., where Fowler runs Spiral, Inc., a diverse business that has numerous real-estate holdings and owns companies in several industries, including broadcasting, aviation and manufacturing.

Estimating the last time he created a resume was more than 20 years ago, Fowler said the errors -- other than the degree discrepancy -- came from oversights and said there was no intent to deceive.

"When you don't pay attention to what you put out," Fowler said, "you're subject to errors. I'm a perfect example of that."

--With an even more doctored resumé of his own.
