The intrepid humans over at the New York Post reported Wednesday that members of the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks "partied hard" at NYC restaurants and downtown clubs on a rowdy Monday night.
The highlight of the dispatch centered on a dinner attended by a small group of Broncos defensive players at sushi restaurant Tokya.
"The Broncos thought sushi was too dainty a dish for the main course," a source told Page Six. "They ate tons of sushi rolls, every roll imaginable, then said they needed more protein and demanded steak. So the restaurant had to send someone out for 25 pounds of steak."
