For some reason I’m thinking about that scene in Caddyshack when Lacey Underall, played by Cindy Morgan, finds a bunch of uncashed paychecks in Ty Webb’s (Chevy Chase) living room.
LACEY: “Here’s an uncashed check for $70,000.”
TY: “Keep it.”
LACEY: “There’s a bunch of them! And a summons.”
TY: “It’s yours.”
Falcons’ linebacker Sean Witherspoon was in the process of moving from Arizona back to Atlanta when his wife found such a check, and it was for substantially more than 70 grand. It was a single-game check for $138,000, issued sometime during this past season.
