News: ESPN: Barry Church among detained Jags players in London trying to skip out on $64,000 bill

[DIAF]

Why the hell wouldn't you just pay it? These dudes make millions and there's several of them there to split the tab

Cristal Champagne 2002 sells RETAIL for over $700 a bottle...................In any given bar it would cost double or more than that........................There's hundreds of "spirits" that are similar to that , especially in an "upper-end"/"higher class" bar.................

I'm sure they weren't refusing to pay the bill. There must be much more to it.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Now I understand why some millionaire players end up broke .

 

[Hogeboom4TheWin]

They play the wrong kind of “football” to be skipping out on a bill that large in London. Nobody there is confusing the Jacksonville Jaguars with Manchester United (even if the Jags offensive output resembles that of a soccer team lately).

Trying to skip out on a $64,000 bill is a non-story to you?

Now what could those guys have spent $64000 on?

I have my suspicions.

I have my suspicions.

Unless they had an entourage, bill seems high. Meh.

World class citizens!

Hey..

Another story for the What you should not do in the NFL.

Ask Barry Switzer about his gun in his carry on.

That is all.

Because I mean really who among us hasn’t run up a 64k tab on a Saturday night?

This reminds me of an old SNL skit, Bad idea jeans...I was going to wear a condom, but then I thought when am I going to be in Haiti again?
They probably thought, screw them, I'll never be in London again

 

[conner01]

please ex[lain how 4 [players can even create a 64K bill at a bar/restaurant? were drinks 1k apiece? that would be tough to do..maybe it was the entire TEAMs bill and those 4 didnt pay their part?

They were buying Jerry shots of Johnny Walker I guess
My lifetime bar tab isn’t that high

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Anyways back to the game....eagles defense dosent look like its going to be able to carry them this year. The offense dosent look anything like last year.

I'm quite sure the proprietor didn't feel like yawning! Good gravy Marie, what a party! Did they wreck the joint, get special favors from the waitresses, and buy cases of '57 Bolinger for the house?

 

[Sarek]

People seem surprised when they hear things like a bill was 64k. Aged single malt's and very fine wines can get very expensive very fast.

 

[BleedinBlue]

I would guess the fight had something to do with it. Trying to get the heck out of there, and resolve the bill.

 

[Philmonroe]

And now you know why I don’t feel bad for athletes that run out of money.

Jealously is why you don't feel bad. It justifies your envious feelings. I have saw it a lot of times before. Its a bad trait to have. You and the others that dapped this need to work on that jealousy.

 

[LocimusPrime]

My buds own a bunch places ( clubs/bars) in the Dfw and Houston area and tabs can run 25-100k easily.
Typically when a “normal person” books a table and bottle service it’s about 1-3k before tip for the cheap stuff.

Last time Dez was out, his tab was 28k and he was there about 3 hours and tipped 4K. Kevin hart spent 10k for two hours this past Friday.

Very easy to do.

 

[GoCowboysGo]

I’m surprised the headline isn’t “Former Cowboy Barry Church...” lol

So many professional athletes end up broke. Scottie Pippen, Allen Iverson, and Antoine Walker both blew through $100+ million each.

This is an example of how.
