TAMPA, Fla. -- Just hours after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Carolina Panthers 22-19 on Christmas Eve, Bucs defensive tackle Sealver Siliga did his part to spread some holiday cheer, leaving a $1,000 tip at a Tampa Applebee's restaurant and nearly moving one server to tears.
Siliga had just gotten in from Charlotte and was eating with three of his friends at the bar area. When they received their bill at 10:30 p.m., Siliga asked the manager how many people were still working. When he learned that there were 10 of them, he informed the manager that he wanted them to split the tip evenly among everyone.
