I wonder how much was actually spent on food & drinks because I see alot being spent
on tips,service charges,taxes......
Probably standard for a party like that but it must have been nice for the staff that shared
in that pool.

    Poor Larry English. Just signed a five-year, $13.4 million contract with a $9.9 million signing bonus (to play football), and then has to fork over $15,000 for dinner for all 52 teammates. Life just isn't fair.....
    He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share, his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere.

    Christ, who said the guy was complaining? Who said Pro athletes don't make shitloads of money?
    Of course any one of us regular stiffs would gladly fork over a paltry $14,000 because hell, it's just
    burning a hole in our pocket anyway.

    It was the "other" charges on the bill that I found interesting.

    Banquet gratuity - $1,890
    Admin charge - $333
    Event SvcCHg - $2,223

    That with the taxes made up close to 50% of the total bill.

    it looks like banquet gratuity + Admin charge = the event service charge.

    So they really did eat/drink $11,117.75. That's good eatin' :D

    Shocking that Ryan Leaf whined about it when he was a rookie. What a douchebag.

    based on his signing bonus and contract, this is equal to someone earning $45,000 and having to spend 53 bucks on dinner.
