Heard this on Dan Patrick's radio show the other day when he was talking to Rodney Harrison, thought y'all would enjoy it.

Rodney was talking about how rookies get hazed by having to take their teammates out to dinner and pick up the tab. In Rodney's case this was like 2 or 3 grand.

But then Rodney said that when Ryan Leaf went to San Diego, he took the players out but refused to pay the bill (what a rhymes-with-witch!)... so Junior Seau stole Leaf's credit card!

I really need a new sig pic

Bringing you snarky commentary since 2008.

I remember a similar story during training camp in which Seau plowed into the red-jersey'ed Leaf, also causing Leaf to wig out. I knew then and there that Leaf was never going to be the man on that team.

Possible the two might be connected?

I think hazing is lame as hell.

I think hazing which is demeaning is overboard, but carring the vets bags and picking up a few meals is within bounds for mini camp is ok.

There is a fine line between hazing and rites of initiation into the millionaire boys club... this sounds like the latter.

No, he's correct. Hazing is stupid.

Awesome! I miss Rodney, he brings credibility to the NBC studio analyst

as a parent of two kids, i feel strongly about hazing and any form of bullying that demeans or injures another, whether emotionally or physically.

but picking up a $2,000 dinner tab when you're a first round draft pick with an eight figure guarantee? carrying bags for veterans (BEFORE the season begins, not when you're playing "for keeps" together as a team)? neither is hazing as I would define it. the one is a harmless initiation into a club of very wealthy people (where the rookie presumably gets to enjoy the meal as much as the next guy); the other is a harmless way of reminding guys that there are folks who've come before them and helped build the team they've joined.
