Without context, LeSean McCoy sounds like a cheapskate. On Monday, PYT Burger in Philadelphia tweeted that the Eagles running back left a 20-cent tip on a $60 check. That's a whopping 0.3 percent of the total bill, slightly less than the customary 15-20 percent.
By Thursday, reporters finally got a chance to get McCoy's side of the story, one he was happy to tell.
Shady: "You can't be disrespectful with someone and expect a big tip. You just can't." Smiled and added, "The food was good, though."

McCoy: I tip on my service...(indicates server was) “rude and disrespectful...I tip well.”

McCoy added that the tip was "more just a statement" against bad service, which is certainly justifiable. Too bad Charlie Sheen didn't know that when pledged $1,000 to the waiter on the receiving end of McCoy's two-dime contribution.
Shady on Charlie Sheen offering the waiter $1,000. "That's good. Good to see him finally doing something positive.:

McCoy: if I had to do it again, I’d do it the same way...good that (Charlie Sheen) is finally doing something positive.”

Next time, Charlie, just donate some of that tiger blood.
