NoSaint Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 There's something wrong with the math here. $54,000 for dinner? Even if all 53 players came, that'd be over $1,000/plate. WTF were they eating? Lobster stuffed with steak stuffed with caviar? No wonder these guys go broke five minutes after they retire. Wine adds up real quick.

nobody Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 "They got the young fella," Bryant's adviser David Wells said. "What could he say? He had to pay it unless he wanted to wash dishes for a month." Maybe that should say 'Bryant's leech David Wells' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pBills Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 ouch....lol http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/28/payback-time-dez-bryants-54896-dinner/ Even though they have the money and have the right to do that... kind of disgusting to do it when so many people are without jobs right now. I'm sure the players and owners will want to raise ticket prices again too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARCO186 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 What makes me mad is that the players cry about getting hurt and that their lives are over when they retire and their making enough money. When teams played years ago, I could believe in having a decent retirement/end of career type thing set up. Some of these players are making so much money like Revis that shouldn't get paid like that. Don't people get the fact thet the fans paid for that dinner? A joke is one thing, but people often wonder why it cost $3k to take a family of 4 to a game with decent seats..... The players wonder why this will be the last year to play football with big checks, and no pay coming in next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orton's Arm Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Stories like this don't exactly help the players' image with this whole lockout thing coming up. Exactly. The players' union is trying to drive up player salaries, which in turn increases the NFL's costs of doing business. You as the fan are ultimately the one to pay for those increased costs through higher ticket prices, more television advertising, and whatever other ways someone can concoct to extract money out of you. The joke is on us, because the money for that meal ultimately came from us as fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
