Golden Tate Steals Spotlight, Maple Bars
Golden Tate may have chosen the wrong place to live during his time as a member of the Seattle Seahawks.
Tate, drafted in the second round of this year's draft out of Notre Dame, is expected to contribute immediately to the offense new head coach Pete Carroll is looking to install.
If he and his friends can keep their hands out of the cookie jar, that is.
Tate currently lives in an apartment above a Top Pot coffee shop. Not only is this establishment the official coffee and acoutrement supplier for Qwest FIeld, the Seahawks home stadium, but they also make some killer snacks.
Just ask Tate, who recently got in trouble when he and his friends sneaked into this particular Top Pot around 3 AM and one of his friends took a couple of the store's infamous maple bars. Tate and his sweet tooth just couldn't resist, and now the restaurant should profit.
Considering the press they have received just from this incident - Tate and Carroll openly discussed the excellence of the maple bars in question during the subsequent press conference - the folks at Top Pot can't be too terribly upset over this minor infraction by Tate.
The silly part is that Tate already gets whatever food he would like for free during normal business hours. I appreciate that he's young, but now that he's an NFL hotshot so this incident doesn't have to happen again.
