Ronaldo Appears to Tease James Rodriguez for His High Speed Antics

Speeding tickets are a good laugh when you're a millionaire superstar.

Two days ago, Real Madrid star James Rodriguez largely evaded the police after a high speed chase by entering the gates of his practice grounds. The undercover cops, who caught him going 125 mph in his Audi R8, were stopped by practice grounds security, while Rodriguez was not, allowing for a relatively-safe entry. And the story was just too rich for Cristiano Ronaldo to put down.

At practice, you can see Ronaldo squatting in a mock-frantic driving position in the presence of James Rodriguez, twisting an imaginary, tiny wheel, probably talking all kinds of shit. Who knows what words were exchanged between them? "Nice work, Vin Diesel"—or something of the like. In any event, it seems like Rodriguez took it in stride. Laughs all around. Life is all good when you're a millionaire caught driving 125 mph in a $100,000 sports car.
