Lesean mccoy defending his 20cent tip after dining at a restaurant in Northern Liberties for what he calls bad service. The Restaurant Owner is standing by his employee. Natasha brown is live with the latest. Natasha. Reporter well, this is certainly a tale of two very different stories, both lesean mccoy and the pyt Restaurant Owner are speaking outer about this tip that is socially that is now certainly caused a social media frenzy. Business is swift at pyt burger in Northern Liberties days after the restaurant went viral. Now not just known for its burgers but for being the recipient of a 20cent tip from eagles running back lesean mccoy. Weve never had anyone meticulously spell out 00. 20 cents and then add it up correctly and then walk out. Reporter today mccoy broke his silence about why he felt the tiny tip was warranted. I tip on my service, you know, and i think its a difference between good service and bad service or just having a bad day. Its a big difference from just being rude and disrespectful. Reporter tommy ott was there the night mccoy and a group of friends were served. He tells a different story altogether. His reason was some ambivalent request about bad service. It was impeccable service. He sat next to me, sat next to my general manager, sat next to my partner. Reporter hours after the meal he posted the bill and a message about the tip on facebook. That cast his restaurant into the social media spotlight but the most intriguing tweet came from Charlie Sheen. He offered to give the waiter 1,000 but mccoy is sticking with 20 cents. Any restaurant that i go around in philadelphia i tip very well. Im very respectful. Reporter well, certainly folks on different sides of this story tonight, we can tell you that Charlie Sheen apparently has been in touch with the Restaurant Owner. The owner tells us that theyre waiting on a package from sheen with that thousand dollars tip for the waiter. Were live here in Northern Liberties tonight, natasha brown, Eyewitness News at 10 00 on the cw philly. Well, tonight we have some exclusive information about a mysterious skin rash that has been spreading among students at Temple University. Only on Eyewitness News our Health ReporterStephanie Stahl with more on the condition that has sent dozens in search of medical treatment. Reporter instead of comparing notes, these Temple University students are comparing skin rashes on the back sides of their legs. I have these huge welts down by leg. I think its gross. High a rash that looked like bug bites, some kind of bites, mosquito bites. Reporter their rashes are fading but the students took pictures of what they first looked like, red raised blotches that that were irritating and itchy. Over the last year weve seen approximately 100 to 120 students that presented with this rash to the backs of their legs. Its a contact dermatitis. Reporter they havent been able to identify whats causing the rashes but have been able to determine theyre not bug bites. Some suspect it could be from sitting on benches the cecil b. Moore subway station. Septa has received a few complaints. We did a visual inspection of those benches. We at no time saw any type of infestation. We dont know what happened or what the cause is but, you know, why take any chances. Why not go ahead and address it so we went ahead again, power washed it, did a treatment and then sealed it. It was barricaded off the benches down in the station. Reporter students with rashes have been told to wear pants for now. I wish i knew what the answer was to like why i have all these bumps all over myself. Reporter Temple University tells us most students have been successfully treated. The reactions are minor with no lasting repercussions. Im Stephanie Stahl, cbs3 Eyewitness News. Well, there is also concern tonight that a dangerous respiratory illness is now in our area.

New at 10 00 tonight, seven former players challenging the nfl concussion lawsuit settlement lost their federal court appeal in philadelphia. Under that proposed settlement the nfl would pay at least 765 million to players diagnosis diagnosed with problems linked to concussion. The players called it a lousy deal. They can raise objections at a hearing in november. In south jersey, there is a Football Program thats leading the way to help prevent concussions on the field. As matt rivers shows us tonight the teams approach is not stopping them from winning championships and their parents are thrilled. Reporter from the looks of it the shawnee Freshman Football Team can tackle. And they can take a hit, too. But heres the thing, in practice, they dont do either one. Our practices are different because i can tell you this we never tackle to the ground in practice. Reporter the coach stalked the sidelines for 38 years and for the last five hes focused on decreasing the amount of concussions his players sustain. Less of this, more of using this telling assistants his way kept players on the field. I would say, look, when do you want them . You want them tuesday or friday night cause you cant have them both. Reporter at first, yes, a strange idea but injuries went down and parents caught on. I think they really need to make sure every High School Team is doing the same thing shawnee is doing. Reporter david odysseys son plays for the renegades. Shes on board. Youre a mom. Uhhuh. Reporter is it nerve wracking watching him play. Absolutely. Reporter while moms tend to worry more than most their concerns is not misplaced. According to the Sports Concussion Institute a Football Player has a 75 percent chance of sustaining a concussion and if it does happen that player is three times more likely to sustain another concussion in that same season. Crystal banks knows that and only allows her son to play if hes taught to play safety. Its all about your technique. Its all about how you position yourself and how the coaches are coaching you. Reporter if you think of practice without tackling is no way to win games, well, you would be wrong. Won a group four state championship last year. We won five championships in the last 10 12 years.
