Who Is Really Paying?

I wonder how last night went for WR Chad Ochocinco. He was heading to New York City. He sent an invitation out on Facebook and Twitter announcing that he would pick up the tab for the first 200 people who showed up at a restaurant in Harlem.

That was a very nice thing for him to do, but it most have been quite expensive. If you figure $25 per person, that would come to a cost of at least $5,000 and counting.

I wonder if this was part of his new reality television show being filmed with his future wife. He made a few million playing for the Pats this year. I bet he didn't pay for this out of his own pocket.

On the one hand, it seems like a generous thing to do, but also seems a bit frivolous. Too many players blow through their wealth before they retire. There are far too many financially destitute players and former players out there. Hopefully, Chad is using some good business sense.
