Dinner bill for Chargers...

The Chargers are hungry and Larry English is buying

By MJD

It's a San Diego Chargers (and perhaps NFL) tradition. The team's rookie first-rounder is obligated to take the rest of the team out to dinner, and without fail, at this dinner, every monstrous defensive tackle on the team gorges themselves on lobster tails like they haven't eaten in a month. No one's really shy about running up the bill.

This year, Larry English was the lucky rookie. Shaun Phillips tweeted the damage:

Immediate reaction: Yikes.

Upon further review, though, Larry English got off light. Shawne Merriman says that after he was drafted, his rookie dinner cost him $32,000. Maybe Merriman took everyone out to a fine steakhouse, and Larry English insisted on TGI Friday's. Five dollars to make a couple of deserts a la mode doesn't seem unreasonable.

The other famous Chargers rookie dinner came back in 1998, when a young man named Ryan Leaf was expected to take everyone out to dinner. Leaf was, um, reluctant, we'll say ... so Junior Seau stole his credit card and made it happen anyway. Leaf had a fit, and his bill was only $3,000. I hope everyone enjoyed their Extra Value Meals that night.

For a $2,200 "service" charge they paid I don't think they deserve any tip.

That was the tip. Mostly.

No, the tip was the "Banquet Grat" as in banquet gratuity, 17%.

Edit: I think I may have misunderstood your post. Yeah, the service charge is the gratuity and the "Admin Charge" so it would be mostly gratuity. Sorry.

Exactly. And when combined with the 3% Admin charge you get the 2223.55 Event SvcChg which zerocool mentioned.


edit: you got it 😛
 
Todd Marinovich rookie partY:

At the conclusion of Raider training camp that summer, as tradition dictated, the first draft pick threw a party. Todd had gone twenty-fourth in the first round and signed a three-year, $2.25 million deal, including a $1 million signing bonus. He rented a ranch and hired a company that did barbecue on a huge grill on a flatbed truck. He turned the barn into a stadium with hay-bale seating. He hired strippers, ten white and ten black. The grand finale: three porn stars with double-headed dildos. "They say in the history of the Raiders, it was the best rookie party ever," Todd says.

I would have thrown in a few latina strippers, maybe even an asian. If your going to get 20, mix up the variety man.
