Getting your player ready...
San Diego Chargers rookie linebacker Larry English recently was asked to give back nearly $15,000 of his $9.9 million contract. Reason: The Chargers’ tradition of having rookies pick up the tab for a team dinner. When the bill for the dinner arrived, it totaled $14,508.67. It would have barely cleared the $14,500 mark, but there was one order for raspberry sorbet. It might seem extravagant, but in relative terms,
English got away cheaply. Shawne Merriman’s rookie dinner reportedly cost him $32,000.
