NFL rookie dinners are a long-standing tradition, but are they really necessary?

    I'm getting a little old for working on ski lifts, but I always enjoyed getting the rookies up on the towers out at the end of the sheaves watching them freak out lol.

    I share the Kenyon Martin point of view. But I seem to notice a correlation to things like this and teams that habitually come up short in playoffs. Chargers aren't known for getting past teams they should in the playoffs. Fans call them the Dolts.

    Its dumb and i wouldn't have done it either way. Im not playing with anybody money and your not playing with mine. Lol if i wanna be initiated i could have been a blood.
  • This is ignorant no matter how you slice it or dress it up. How many of these men go broke? Instead of showing them financial literacy, you set them up for failure day one. Most of them don’t get a second contract.

    I laughed so hard when Marcellus said We will whoop yo ass then after that we aint messing with you, you playing by yourself Ahahah. Welp, "glad to be here with you guys where you like to go hang out? it's on me" would be the only thing coming out of my mouth as soon as I stepped into the facility. Don't like it, Don't love it, but I would feel like I gotta do the Rookie Dinner. It's a common well known tradition like he said. Mainly because I want the guys to see outside of team activity who they are gonna be playing with, and also who I'm going to be playing with. It's a two way street haha getting to see the personalities of teammates and what they do and say when no one else is around just like they would be doing for me. I'm sure the shared experience would also be something everyone wouldn't forget and come out of it with great stories to tell just like Marcellus did with this video.
  • Bruh this is low level extortion 😂 You hit me for $32k Imma be on my Nick Young ish charging room service to ppls accounts and using yall credit cards for my personal shopping sprees. Fools would be lucky if I didn't show up at their cribs unannounced tlkn bout what's for dinner and where da liqour at LMAO
