Dez Bryant takes the team out for $54,000

[SDCowboy]

Does anyone know how these rookie hazing things work? I mean, they wouldn't do this to Dez a second time, would they?:

He already bought them all Jordan shoes. This dinner price is mind blowing.

Roy must have invited his family.

and Antonio Cromartie's kids too

I'm going with the theory that he blew $50k on a single bottle of a little something, something.

And that the food bill was a little more reasonable.

That is CLASSIC!!!!!!!!! Should've just carried the pads....lesson learned young man. Don't fight upstream in life like an idiotic salmon. Sometimes just easier and cheaper to go with the flow....wow.

 

[BigDinAZ]

Holy cow!!

[the truth of it all]

We'll im not "poor" Thankfully for many reasons, nor " well off "

But still , Thats a nice amount of his contract.. Or for the majority of the United States .

Id be mad and pay like 20,000 If i was i him and say no way.

 

[Beast_from_East]

For comparison purposes, thats like if you make 50K a year and drop $270 on a meal.


Thats a huge freaking bill!!!!

 

[DaBoys4Life]

I'd fight someone.

 

[ZB9]

should have picked up the pads lol

 

[Bleu Star]

Bryant has a five-year, $11.8 million contract that includes $8.5 million in guarantees.
Not to be in my man's wallet or anything, but I think he's good for it!

Exactly. He doesn't care about that. It was a god gesture and it's over with the equivalence to the removal of $50 from our pockets. No big deal to Dez.

 

[michaeljr1186]

i'm sure he could just ask jerry jones....and the bill would be waived.

It's pretty clear some of you dont go out much.

500 for dinner is not a lot of money when you are doing it up. Especially for someone that makes 100k per.

I think some of you do not realize how much a million dollars is.

He paid 54k on a bill, they were doing it up, gratuity surely was included because football players are notoriously bad tippers.

I have a friend that says she can not imagine spending 200k or so on a car. I said to her, you have a 50k car in the driveway, you only make a little over 100k per year. This guy makes ten times what you make, so 200k is nothing in that perspective.

 

[ologan]

Tony Romo would be smart to fork over half to Dez AND Roy....May pay big dividends a little later on down the line,and he can certainly afford it.

 

[adbutcher]

I saw some tweets about this other night..

That bill is crazy...

Dez should've carried the pads.. lol

Indeed, lol.

You are right about that. I know first hand that at Emmit is a cheap mofo. Irvin tips well.

Dez Bryant takes the team out for $54,000

At some point you knew Roy E. Williams was going to get Dez Bryant.

In training camp, Bryant refused to carry Williams' shoulder pads, saying he didn't know anything about the tradition of rookies carrying a veteran player's shoulder pads.

Williams excused it saying just take the team out and get him some Nikes.

Monday night at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse, Bryant took the offensive players out, then Williams invited the defensive players and when the night was over the bill came: $54,896.

"They got the young fella," said Bryant's adviser David Wells. "What could he say? He had to pay it unless he wanted to wash dishes for a month."

Players ordered basically everything on the menu and even took home bottles of wine.

After checking out the winebook, which is 90 pages, we wonder if anyone purchased the Chateau Latour for $9,000.

Then we figured a few players got that Plumpjack Reserve for $600.

No word from Bryant or Williams about their thoughts on how the evening went.

This is illegal. (unless it's changed since I moved away and that is VERY unlikely) You cannot take alcoholic beverages off premises. Restaurants and clubs aren't licensed for such activities.
