YoloinOhio Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) 12,000 tip? Whose receipt is that? Evan Mathis, OG for the Eagles tweeted it out... it was from their dinner where the rookies pay for the vets. There are more Kamikaze shots on there than entrees.

Rocky Landing Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 That bill contained a total of 26 Remy Martins (including 14 doubles), 4 Crown Royals, 17 kamikazes, 4 rum runners, 5 old fashioned, 21 assorted bottles of cabernet, and ONE ICED TEA.

BarleyNY Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 $3 for caramelized onions is pretty reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPre Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 If I had been that rookie, I would've said no. That is ridiculous. There is something known as common sense. I have no pity for a person that throws away something like this. Simply pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Mathis tweeted that the "auto-gratuity" was just a private room charge. The tip was on top of that. Richie Incognito would be proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) If I had been that rookie, I would've said no. That is ridiculous. There is something known as common sense. I have no pity for a person that throws away something like this. Simply pathetic. I hear you, but maybe it's Marcus Smith, their first rounder. He recently signed his contract, and it included a $3.992 mill signing bonus. So if that were me it would bug me a lot but if it only happened once, I wouldn't say anything. Still, it's crazy. They need to work on eliminating this kind of thing. If Smith gets injured and his career is over, he'd have spent almost two percent of his pre-tax NFL career earnings on one night of partying. Crazy. Edited June 13, 2014 by Thurman#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Does this restaurant have a luxury box or multiple season tickets? Do the car dealerships where players purchase their cars have them? I think there is a lot of that kind of thing going on. Nothing I'm gonna lose sleep over, because it's all part of becoming a multi-millionaire overnight, and is a rite of passage into the crazy, mixed up world of professional sports. I just hope most of the money gets circulated back to the low rungs of the local economy....probably not though. Ultimately it's the fans that pay for this kind of excess. The tickets, the parking, concessions, etc. And of course, being endlessly bombarded with advertisements. They don't just want your money, they want your time (and mind). At what point does that experience become more unpleasant than pleasing? Edited June 13, 2014 by HoF Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 It is ridiculous. Living in FL, my neighbor was a RB for the Bucs, and down the street one of the WR for the Bucs lived there. They are both gone now as they are put of the league. My neighbor was foolish enough to have a Cadillac Escalade EST, a 70's souped up redone car, and get this a Rolls Royce. He spent his way to nothing and I heard when out of the NFL, he was caught up in some kind of Medicare Fraud and in jail. It's sad as he is a nice guy, who made some very bad decisions. The WR made it in the league for five years or so, and they had to sell their house and Bentley as well. I don't think it's everyone, but so many of these guys are given good financial counseling, but they don't take it. They far too often act like they are going to play forever at least by their spending habits. Then it's one sad story after another post football.

Mr. WEO Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 In my mind common sense is having the money to by 2005 Screaming Eagle Cab and doing so. Not at a 70% markup. Ditto for the Harlan estates at 230% markup. Del Frisco's?? Those are tourist trap prices. I bet Jonathan Martin carpeed his Underoos just looking at that tab...
