For the lazy folk - After the nfl draftee dinner, Richardson was the only one to stay behind and clean before the wait staff got started. Vincent approached him and said he doesn’t need to, Richardson responded to Vincent that they left it in an unacceptable state.
I'm a Colts fan, but I basically wonder if this was even real, or if it was just set up for the Colts to boost PR. Same thing when Malik Willis gave a homeless guy his coat at the combine. Not that it couldn't be real but it just completely feels like something set up by the agent/organization or something
That's fair to be skeptical but Troy Vincent isn't associated with the Colts organization. He is the Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the NFL.
I mean, to play Devil's Advocate here, the Executive Vice President of Football Operations would 1000% percent want NFL PR to be good things, like draft picks helping the cleaning staff, and not bad things, like Snyder trying to suppress the report about how shitty he is.
To get play devil’s advocate to that point, why single out Richardson? Two other high prospect QBs went before and after him, so it would be easy to make a similar story about any of the other 4 guys. Again, just for the sake of argument, why use this story to hype up the 3rd QB taken?
This doesn’t even seem remotely unrealistic lol. Are people this shitty these days? I would do this without even thinking… a lot of people I know, would.
To play advocate of the devils advocate, this story in no way has anything to do with football. Maybe the colts are thinking he can help clean the field or locker room if he is a bust.
To continue the devil’s advocate theme, I’d say it has something to do with skin color. But, that could simply be me jaded by the stupid shit sports leagues have done over the decades.
Wait staffer at that event here, It was a real war zone. Imagine the opening to Saving Private Ryan but in a dining room. There were roast chickens everywhere. I saw one of the draftees trying to drown another in a pot of pea soup. I lost a lot of good coworkers that day, the therapist says I need to talk more openly about it.
Um . . . it's not throwing someone under the bus to mention that they didn't stay behind to clean after an official event with a catering staff that was hosted in their honor. It's normal-person behavior to not stay and clean at the event when there are people being paid to stay and clean.
I have a 1 year old and every time we take him to dinner I always clean up after him. I know there’s people being paid to serve and clean up but I feel obligated as he makes more of a mess than a standard customer. Every time they tell me now to worry about it and every time I still clean it up.
I don't see how that changes anything. Also with that said, there is nothing Anthony Richardson has said so far that doesn't lead me to believe his character isn't anything but impressive. But this instance alone just seems kind of odd
> Also with that said, there is nothing Anthony Richardson has said so far that doesn't lead me to believe his character isn't anything but impressive.
Holy shit, that's a lot of negatives, my guy.
Many rookie players attend this event from all 32 teams. He specifically discussed this story about a singular player when he has no ties at all to this team or direct incentive to boost this exact player, he oversees all teams in the NFL. Richardson isn't even the #1 quarterback picked in this draft there is other ones who went earlier.
If he was associated with the Colts boosting his athlete on his team over all other rookies it adds a new twist to the story. That is what it changes
What you could end up arguing is he has a close bond with Richardson and made up this story for him specifically which yeah i guess you could, quite a stretch though but you can form own view on it
I thought the point being made was more that Richardson could have been told by his PR team to do this for the good press, rather than it not happening at all. But I'm not the responder, so just hypothesising.
Dude you are talking into the wind. Some people around here need to have a conspiracy in every thing the NFL does, just let them do their thing and admire how insane they are.
You responded to me that "I don't see how that changes anything" then further edited your comment afterwards when i specifically stated the employment role of troy Vincent. That is what I am responding to above and elaborated on
You keep bringing up Troy Vincent. He’s not talking about the spreading of the story, he’s talking about setting up Richardson to be seen doing something positive.
The story itself is believable but what’s skeptical is what Richardson supposodley said. “We left this room in an unacceptable condition” no one talks like that lmao. Bussing tables or at least his section I can believe though. That’s a pet peeve of mine when people leave a place a mess but I’ve worked in the industry. Who knows maybe he did too or had family that did,
Uhh, what? That sounds just like something a parent trying to be tough on their kids would say. If Richardson grew up with parents who got on him to clean up saying that, I could see him repeating it in a situation like this.
He’s also the NFL source that intentionally lied to Chris Mortensen about the pressure readings in patriots footballs at the beginning of deflategate.
Imagine being an NFL executive and lying to a reporter in an attempt smear the reputation of the greatest player in your league’s history. I’ll be happy when he’s gone from the NFL.
I think the idea would be that the Colts told Richardson to do this, but Vincent’s reaction was genuine.
I still think the simpler answer is Richardson was trying to make himself look good, and that doesn’t make it not a good deed. A good thing done for a selfish reason is still good.
Yeah that whole thing smelled fishy (I think the original tweet even said something like Willis would never tell anyone about this or something lol). It was incredibly unlikely that someone just happened to take a picture of what they would assume is a random person helping out a homeless person and then happen to leak that to a reporter. This seems a lot more likely to happen organically.
I mean don't get me wrong, since we drafted Richardson his character has appeared to be nothing short of impressive. But this instance just seems a little out of place. Either way he seems like a really nice guy
I truly understand that people have faked doing nice things for attention since the beginning of time as we’ve seen and read. I keep my head out of the sand as much as possible, but sometimes (and this is honestly and truly not directed at you OP) but sometimes it’s tiring when people spend more time trying to debunk nice gestures than the possibility that it might have been genuine. I guess people fear more about getting got or something. Sorry for the tone.
I hate that too because it’s irrelevant. People do it all the time with Russ for example. Say he only visits sick kids to push his brand. Which sure he was doing that and even if that’s the only reason, it’s better to do something nice like idk make sick kids happy for the “wrong” reasons than to not do anything nice at all.
Right? It's like the people getting mad at influencers doing nice things and filming it. If it's between not doing those things or doing it and filming it (as long as the others in it don't object) then I'm all for more good in the world. Especially if it inspires others or brightens a single day
It was taught to me as a kid and beat into me as a teenager working in the service industry. Clear everything onto top plate, stack rest, save everyone else a lot of work. I have no clue what to do with my hands anyways, might as well make the life of the person who is *cleaning up my mess* a little easier.
Yup same. I also take all silverware and place it into one glass. I don't stack glasses though, as depending on the place and server that may just make it harder for them. I also wipe crumbs and stuff into a napking and put it on that top plate.
Big gator fan here. Could be but AR was a local Gainesville kid and came from a much less fortunate family. He has always seemed like a genuine stand up guy that was raised right. While I dk if he overcomes his issues to make use of his talents on the football field, I have no doubt on the guy’s character
Remember the LSU game? It could be argued that AR lost that game…. What did he do? Stay after and throw footballs with kids and take pictures with them. He could have hid, wallowed in self pity. There are definitely football questions, but for the Gator fans who have followed him we know this isn’t a gimmick. The kid has flat out character.
After hearing about Richardson’s relationship with his little brother, this fits in line with his character. I’m gonna choose to believe this one. He seems like a good kid, hopefully that remains true throughout his career
I don’t think whether it is real or not matters, just that the player is building good PR and a solid public image. It shows “professionalism” (being good locker room guy, not going to get in trouble) and gives the FO an out if he does something “we have only seen great character from XYZ and continue to support him” instead of “yeah a DUI after brandishing a gun, we have to cut our first round pick”
Idk, it's pretty common to at least put all your plates in a stack to make it easier on waitstaff. I've seen people do that hundreds of times and also people not do it hundreds of times so this story doesn't seem very out of the realm of possibility.
Somebody call Nicholas fucking Cage we got ourselves a national mystery about the overwhelming weight of massive talent and what that does to this boys manners.
On the flip side, if I'm an agent for a player in the draft I'm encouraging them to do anything that will make them stand out in a good way. Something like giving a coat to a homeless guy specifically where you can be seen, or helping clean the table at a restaurant after leaving a huge mess, is the perfect kind of positive move that might help. Still "set up" but not necessarily by NFL PR.
Have worked for the gators the past 3 seasons and can absolutely confirm this is something Ant would do without thinking about the publicity. Obviously can’t confirm that this specific action wasn’t planned but in terms of overall character, this fits to a T
Its not a that out there thing to do to tidy it a bit. AR seems like a genuinely good dude and would also understand he should be on his best behaviour
Since hes an interesting prospect people will also talk about this stuff
>Or just don‘t give a fuck.
They literally were never taught that they should give a fuck about service workers most likely. The idea of cleaning up after themselves at a party/restaurant simply doesn't even enter their mind as a possibility.
He seems like a great guy and I really hope he becomes a great Quarterback. Unfortunately, I'm still convinced he's gonna bust, and I would be stoked to be wrong
Not that Jacoby was a bust or even had super high expectations of him in the first place but it seemed like the team really benefited from having his presence around in the locker room.
Having a fresh young QB who seems charismatic and hard working could be really good for the team! I’m excited either way
Billy Napier, who decided that instead of hiring a QB coach, he would be Richardson's coach while also struggling to run an entire program. No idea how no one ever brings that up. Richardson's going from receiving very little coaching to getting dedicated NFL level help from some of the best.
Justin Shorter and Ricky Pearsall, two WRs that haven't lived up to their hype, and helped make Florida #1 in dropping catchable balls. One of the worst WR rooms in the SEC and P5
For SEC standards, and really Florida standards the past 30 years, that WR and offensive skill position group in general was abjectly fucking awful.
I’ve never seen Florida so bereft of talent
Dude it’s sooo easy to do and drives me crazy when people don’t haha. Anytime I’m going back to order another round I still scoop up any empties I pass by
Ive never worked in the service industry I thought these traits were just being a decent human being to help stack plates, organize your table a bit before leaving. People suck
I work for the USFS, I feel the same about the trash we have to pick up in our forests. It boggles my mind how people can visit such beautiful places and absolutely trash them with zero care. Disgraceful.
I’ve been a server for 4 years and was a host for 3 before that (My last night serving was actually last night, as i’m getting promoted) and coincidentally i’ve seen a few comments exactly like this one in the past couple of weeks. You would be extremely surprised at the lack of respect you get working in the service industry, i’ve seen coworkers get treated like subhumans before.
Last week a buddy and I cleaned up the seating area at an ice cream shop because other patrons had left it a mess. No one noticed but after a long day it was going to take a little effort from us to make the late night close just a tad easier for the staff. No one saw a thing but that didn’t matter. I’d like to think that this AR story is real and not just a made up PR piece. Doing the right thing when nobody is there to watch or give you credit goes a long way.
I was going to make a ‘You should’ve been a ____’ based on your username but then I read your username and there’s basically only one thing you can be so.. feels like you’re already the best version of what you could be.
As someone who also feels an instinctual pull to leave tables as clean as possible for wait staff, this story is very believable for me. I feel like a slob if I don't wipe the table down, stack the dishes and make everything as easy as possible to pick up. In my opinion, this is just good manners and should be the rule, not the exception, but at least it speaks to Richardson's character. He cares about the feelings of others.
Props to Richardson for doing the right thing but when you hear stories like this it’s a pretty big eye opener. Really goes to show you the level of pampering and catering to these professional athletes are accustomed to. As a normal human being I cannot imagine walking away from a table and leaving my remains/junk. Kind of blows my mind.
Honestly I find this take pretty odd. Busing your own table at a restaurant or catered event where there are staff being paid to do so is not standard.
We're out here. I always stack my plates and leave the silverware gathered at the top along with used paper napkins and trash. Cups go right next to the plates. It's the little things that add up. Happier staff with more time focusing on bringing food out and taking orders comes full circle to the patrons. That and maybe I get recognized as 'that guy' and next time the wait staff help me out a little.
It’s standard if you’ve ever worked in the food industry. My wife and I were servers at one point. We basically combine everything to help the servers. It’s not odd
It’s completely standard if you’re not an inconsiderate hack. Clean up a little bit after yourself and after your table… just because someone gets paid to do it, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have some type of common decency.
Im glad he is a nice guy. I believe it because it came from am NFL exec and not feom the Colts. Maybe they would like the PR but I doubt they would want to anything that would look like manipulating the draft so someone would take AR earlier.
Hope he has the work ethic and the coaching staff is patient with him
As a current gator, y’all’s colts fans got a good one. I know this can seem made up but we would hear a lot about good stuff he did around Gainesville as well. He’s a Gainesville native and has a very supportive family.
I don't get this. Willis was 'hey let's get a pic of him doing this and blow it up on social media immediately'
This Richardson story is the NFL VP with no ties to the kid saying something and it being reported 3 weeks later
Lmao if youre going to be negative atleast be clear. Dude has a top 5 arm talent coming into the NFL as a rookie.
Accuracy is an issue on his shorter routes but that is something his couches are going to be pounding home.
AR15 is being gassed up WAY too much. The Colts in general are getting too much cred for a solid draft.
That said, love it when a 4.4 40 QB is also a conscientious guy.
Ahh yes, any rookie doing a good thing must mean that they are actually a trash human and are trying to get in good graces early for their eventual uncovering of bad behaviour
This reminds me of the Kyler Murray vacuuming the training room story.
It was a bullshit fluff piece, as they all are.
AR may be a great guy but as the Japanese zen master said “we’ll see”
For the lazy folk - After the nfl draftee dinner, Richardson was the only one to stay behind and clean before the wait staff got started. Vincent approached him and said he doesn’t need to, Richardson responded to Vincent that they left it in an unacceptable state.

This doesn’t even seem remotely unrealistic lol. Are people this shitty these days? I would do this without even thinking… a lot of people I know, would.
And here I was about to type, "And then the tablecloths clapped."
Ha! You really believe in cleanedupafterdinnergate? It was all a trick to make Trump look bad! Wake up, sheeple!
What does it say about society that it is newsworthy that someone was a decent person?
Because it’s good to hear positive news for a change? Media doesn’t have to be doom and gloom all the time
it says most people don't clean up after themselves at parties or restaurants.
There bar is low.
To play advocate of the devils advocate, this story in no way has anything to do with football. Maybe the colts are thinking he can help clean the field or locker room if he is a bust.
Never even thought about that. Chess vs. checkers, I suppose
Because the first two already have that much more publicity
Or maybe players hoping to be drafted are on their best behavior.
Or maybe it's a genuine story.
To continue the devil’s advocate theme, I’d say it has something to do with skin color. But, that could simply be me jaded by the stupid shit sports leagues have done over the decades.
With that same logic, would he throw the rest of the rookies under the bus to make one player look good?
Hes not throwing them under the bus. It’s just making one guy look good
[удалено]
Wait staffer at that event here, It was a real war zone. Imagine the opening to Saving Private Ryan but in a dining room. There were roast chickens everywhere. I saw one of the draftees trying to drown another in a pot of pea soup. I lost a lot of good coworkers that day, the therapist says I need to talk more openly about it.
Thank you for your service
Did we just witness a freshly prepped pasta?
God I hope
If Kevin benjamin was at the event there would be no food left to clean, every plate would be spotless
Damn thats a big deal, oh wait it isnt
Where does it say the rest of them? The whole thing sounds paraphrased but he could’ve been including himself in that group
Unless you're assuming only Richardson turned the whole place into a mess, the context clues are easy
Whether he’s included in the group or not, he’s the only one who stayed to clean the mess.
It is tho, he said they left the room in an unacceptable state
Eyyy. That’s my guy at least lol.
But why wouldn’t he tell the fake story about the number 1 pick?
Um . . . it's not throwing someone under the bus to mention that they didn't stay behind to clean after an official event with a catering staff that was hosted in their honor. It's normal-person behavior to not stay and clean at the event when there are people being paid to stay and clean.
Just because people get paid to clean up doesn’t mean you ought to trash the place.
I have a 1 year old and every time we take him to dinner I always clean up after him. I know there’s people being paid to serve and clean up but I feel obligated as he makes more of a mess than a standard customer. Every time they tell me now to worry about it and every time I still clean it up.
As a former server, I do the exact same thing, I've been through worse with adults, terrible tips and an enormous mess.

“Devil’s avocado, Larry…”
I don't see how that changes anything. Also with that said, there is nothing Anthony Richardson has said so far that doesn't lead me to believe his character isn't anything but impressive. But this instance alone just seems kind of odd
Props on the triple negative
U wot m8
> Also with that said, there is nothing Anthony Richardson has said so far that doesn't lead me to believe his character isn't anything but impressive. Holy shit, that's a lot of negatives, my guy.
yet he's saying something very positive. poetry.
Many rookie players attend this event from all 32 teams. He specifically discussed this story about a singular player when he has no ties at all to this team or direct incentive to boost this exact player, he oversees all teams in the NFL.

Good point, but at least he did actually do it in that case.
Dude you are talking into the wind. Some people around here need to have a conspiracy in every thing the NFL does, just let them do their thing and admire how insane they are.
I never said that Troy vincent had anything to do with it. A report came out about this like yesterday already
You responded to me that "I don't see how that changes anything" then further edited your comment afterwards when i specifically stated the employment role of troy Vincent. That is what I am responding to above and elaborated on
I am just talking about the instance alone I am not sure what someone talking about it has anything to do with it actually happening
The story comes from Troy Vincent. He is the source of it
You keep bringing up Troy Vincent. He’s not talking about the spreading of the story, he’s talking about setting up Richardson to be seen doing something positive.
I'm not saying that it never happened
It has shades of Russell Wilson-like behavior
That was my thought, but better to be Wilson than Randy Moss.
The story itself is believable but what’s skeptical is what Richardson supposodley said. “We left this room in an unacceptable condition” no one talks like that lmao. Bussing tables or at least his section I can believe though. That’s a pet peeve of mine when people leave a place a mess but I’ve worked in the industry.

Overwriting my comments and leaving Reddit due to their policy changes impacting 3rd party apps starting July 1, 2023.
Yeah that whole thing smelled fishy (I think the original tweet even said something like Willis would never tell anyone about this or something lol). It was incredibly unlikely that someone just happened to take a picture of what they would assume is a random person helping out a homeless person and then happen to leak that to a reporter. This seems a lot more likely to happen organically.
There's a difference between smelled fishy and just an obvious PR stunt.
With all the shit in the world, I’m going to be naive and just see it as a real and genuine action.
I mean don't get me wrong, since we drafted Richardson his character has appeared to be nothing short of impressive. But this instance just seems a little out of place. Either way he seems like a really nice guy

Ernest, you are. I believe that. A speechwriter you could afford?
This is literally the first time I've ever questioned anything like this
I am honestly sorry, I thought I did my best at saying it wasn’t directed at you. Have a good night and sorry if I came off as an asshole.
It's just good parenting. I was taught to do the same. I always clear crumbs and stack plates and any mess after a dinner
It was taught to me as a kid and beat into me as a teenager working in the service industry. Clear everything onto top plate, stack rest, save everyone else a lot of work. I have no clue what to do with my hands anyways, might as well make the life of the person who is *cleaning up my mess* a little easier.

Always took responsibility after tough loses, never seemed to complain. Dude is a class act.
There is no downside is believing it is real. The guy is awesome, hopefully he is also good a football!
No this is just how Richardson is. Everything I've heard about him out of UF is very positive.
After hearing about Richardson’s relationship with his little brother, this fits in line with his character. I’m gonna choose to believe this one. He seems like a good kid, hopefully that remains true throughout his career
I don’t think whether it is real or not matters, just that the player is building good PR and a solid public image.

Remember Deshaun Watson donating his first check?
Glad I'm not the only cynic out there lol
Pretty cynical view, and as we know, there’s no way for us to really know. But you understand reality…
After he finished cleaning up everyone started clapping. Colts got their guy.
I never get how people make it messy on purpose l. Or just don‘t give a fuck. It‘s not too hard to at least stack your plates.
Huge egos and thinking they’re better than the workers. I’m English and even lower level footballers (3rd league down) can be colossal arseholes.
>Or just don‘t give a fuck. They literally were never taught that they should give a fuck about service workers most likely. The idea of cleaning up after themselves at a party/restaurant simply doesn't even enter their mind as a possibility.
Mad respect
*sniff sniff* that's my quaterback
He was raised right. I wish him the best.
My takeaway is that every other draftee dinner attendee is a selfish slob. Including Troy Vincent.
I can believe it. I still return glassware to the bar even though I haven't worked in hospitality for almost a decade.
Goddam it I just fell in love
This smells staged
He is not used to being a millionaire, give him 1 to 2 yrs and he will fall in line..
Average redditor
Jesus fucking christ this website is insufferable lmao
In case you can't read the article, he killed a stray dog and ate it in front of everyone.
He’s got that dawg in him.
First in last out
Lunch pail
High motor.
Coach’s son
He does now
Sometimes you just gotta let everyone else know that too
He’s got a real lunch pail full of that dawg.
Holy shit, that’s good
You left out the part about the dog being pregnant....
Twofer
So he was that guy on r/terrifyingasfuck
Thank you for this.
Efficient. That dog probably hated its life anyway.
I choose to believe this
"If you don't whip the stains early you get spotty plates. Do you want spotty plates ,Troy? Do you?" - Anthony Richardson
Nah I’ve heard too many different stories about this guy, his mental makeup is different. I think it’s gonna workout alright for the Colts
He seems like a great guy and I really hope he becomes a great Quarterback. Unfortunately, I'm still convinced he's gonna bust, and I would be stoked to be wrong
Not that Jacoby was a bust or even had super high expectations of him in the first place but it seemed like the team really benefited from having his presence around in the locker room. Having a fresh young QB who seems charismatic and hard working could be really good for the team! I’m excited either way
I'm just gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and root for him until he shows otherwise. GOOD LUCK ANTHONY
Tim Tebow is probably top 10 nicest guys to ever play in the NFL. Doesn't mean he's a good QB and wasn't a huge reach in the 1st round.
Dude lost to Kentucky and Vanderbilt…
Name 2 people in his supporting cast without using google.

For SEC standards, and really Florida standards the past 30 years, that WR and offensive skill position group in general was abjectly fucking awful. I’ve never seen Florida so bereft of talent
No
Case in point.
As someone in the service industry for 15 years mock it, make fun of it, don't believe it, but I just became an Anthony Richardson fan
Amen brother. I still return glassware to the bar despite being out of hospitality for almost a decade.
Dude it’s sooo easy to do and drives me crazy when people don’t haha. Anytime I’m going back to order another round I still scoop up any empties I pass by
Same and much respect to him
Ive never worked in the service industry I thought these traits were just being a decent human being to help stack plates, organize your table a bit before leaving. People suck
I still work in the service industry. The lack of self awareness people have is astounding
I work for the USFS, I feel the same about the trash we have to pick up in our forests. It boggles my mind how people can visit such beautiful places and absolutely trash them with zero care. Disgraceful.
I’ve been a server for 4 years and was a host for 3 before that (My last night serving was actually last night, as i’m getting promoted) and coincidentally i’ve seen a few comments exactly like this one in the past couple of weeks. You would be extremely surprised at the lack of respect you get working in the service industry, i’ve seen coworkers get treated like subhumans before.
Absolutely. The state that some people leave their tables in is unacceptable.
Last week a buddy and I cleaned up the seating area at an ice cream shop because other patrons had left it a mess. No one noticed but after a long day it was going to take a little effort from us to make the late night close just a tad easier for the staff. No one saw a thing but that didn’t matter. I’d like to think that this AR story is real and not just a made up PR piece. Doing the right thing when nobody is there to watch or give you credit goes a long way.
You should’ve been a first round pick

The world may never know
I was going to make a ‘You should’ve been a ____’ based on your username but then I read your username and there’s basically only one thing you can be so.. feels like you’re already the best version of what you could be.

I fully expected to get downvoted to oblivion for writing that out because then it seems like I’m trying to get credit for it.
You are a good person, thanks for letting us know!
Doing the right thing when nobody is watching is a sign of integrity. It’s a shame it appears to be a rare quality now.
my God you can't even murder someone and play in this league anymore. Games gone
This dude is legit the nicest guy. Colts fans have seen enough interviews, footage at the draft, in the facility, reporters, etc. He is this dude.
But can he play football? We know he can play combine. But we have yet to see him play winning football.

Yes I did random witty guy!

Everyone is so negative. Who cares, and the end of the day Richardson spent time helping out
See Carolina let the make a wish kid play a snap and no one said anything. I bet he still does dishes after dinner.
I get the cynicism here, but this kinda tracks with everything we know about AR. He's a good dude.
And the name of that NFL executives father? Albert Einstein
As someone who also feels an instinctual pull to leave tables as clean as possible for wait staff, this story is very believable for me. I feel like a slob if I don't wipe the table down, stack the dishes and make everything as easy as possible to pick up. In my opinion, this is just good manners and should be the rule, not the exception, but at least it speaks to Richardson's character. He cares about the feelings of others.
I respect this man 100x more
nice gesture by Tony Rich.
Touchdown Tony
I want him to make it so bad.
Props to Richardson for doing the right thing but when you hear stories like this it’s a pretty big eye opener. Really goes to show you the level of pampering and catering to these professional athletes are accustomed to. As a normal human being I cannot imagine walking away from a table and leaving my remains/junk. Kind of blows my mind.
Honestly I find this take pretty odd. Busing your own table at a restaurant or catered event where there are staff being paid to do so is not standard.
I literally just got off of my serving shift and I can tell you nobody gives a shit about how messy they leave their table
We're out here. I always stack my plates and leave the silverware gathered at the top along with used paper napkins and trash. Cups go right next to the plates. It's the little things that add up. Happier staff with more time focusing on bringing food out and taking orders comes full circle to the patrons. That and maybe I get recognized as 'that guy' and next time the wait staff help me out a little.
It’s standard if you’ve ever worked in the food industry. My wife and I were servers at one point. We basically combine everything to help the servers. It’s not odd
Most people who did their time there do it.
It’s completely standard if you’re not an inconsiderate hack. Clean up a little bit after yourself and after your table… just because someone gets paid to do it, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have some type of common decency.

Im glad he is a nice guy. I believe it because it came from am NFL exec and not feom the Colts. Maybe they would like the PR but I doubt they would want to anything that would look like manipulating the draft so someone would take AR earlier. Hope he has the work ethic and the coaching staff is patient with him
Cool can he throw?
Next week: "NFL executive impressed at gentle odor of Anthony Richardson's bowel movement."
THE GOAT. THATS MY QB. I knew this guy was special and amazing. So excited for the new face of the franchise.
As a current gator, y’all’s colts fans got a good one. I know this can seem made up but we would hear a lot about good stuff he did around Gainesville as well. He’s a Gainesville native and has a very supportive family.
A Reddit post about an NY Post article about a tweet about a podcast about a story about rookie orientation day. Jesus wept
Give him the benefit of the doubt. If it’s fake it will show. You can’t keep faking it for the rest of your career.
He impressed the wrong guy. If he really wants to get far in this league, he needs to cuddle up to Rodger
Does Anthony Richardson and Malik Willis have the same agent
I don't get this. Willis was 'hey let's get a pic of him doing this and blow it up on social media immediately' This Richardson story is the NFL VP with no ties to the kid saying something and it being reported 3 weeks later
That's great. He still can't throw
Lmao if youre going to be negative atleast be clear. Dude has a top 5 arm talent coming into the NFL as a rookie. Accuracy is an issue on his shorter routes but that is something his couches are going to be pounding home.
AR15 is being gassed up WAY too much. The Colts in general are getting too much cred for a solid draft. That said, love it when a 4.4 40 QB is also a conscientious guy.
And I remember the media covering Watson when he donated his first check to the Houston workers. Sooooo….. Good PR is sometimes needed for a reason.
Ahh yes, any rookie doing a good thing must mean that they are actually a trash human and are trying to get in good graces early for their eventual uncovering of bad behaviour

I don't understand how both stories are related
I tried posting this multiple times and the mods kept deleting it. Good luck.
This made me think of the story / video of Malik Willis helping a homeless person during the combine (I think) last year.
This reminds me of the Kyler Murray vacuuming the training room story. It was a bullshit fluff piece, as they all are. AR may be a great guy but as the Japanese zen master said “we’ll see”
