To be young and naive -Dez Bryant

I'm sure he knew something like that was coming. If he didn't then wow, what an idiot.

meh, mere chump change for him.

This is like your friends walking out on you and a $50.00 bill as a pay back. With his money its not that big of a deal.

After taxes and agent fees it's a lot of money.

He got $8M guaranteed, I think he can afford a 54k dinner. That's life as a 1st round rook. Especially one that thought he was above carrying pads.

A different Hard Knocks RT @adbrandt: Dez Bryant's 2010 salary is $320,000. Spent 17% of it - $55,000 - for dinner the other night.

RT @TitansFootball: Bryant has 5-yr $11.8M contract w/$8.5M gtd. How is his 2010 salary only $320k? ... Teams pay big bonuses, low bases.

Kinda surprising people don't know this

Latest total, $55K for dinner, $8K for tip = $63,000.00 dinner.

Someone did the math and that was 1,000 filet mignons at that restaurant. Reports were that the players were carrying full bottles of wine and champagne out "to go".

None of his teammates will publicly admit to being there when asked in interviews.

^it was all alcohol man. forget the restaurant name, but there's a pic you can google of some guys receipt for a 50k dinner for 6 in nyc. it's normal appetizers, entrees and deserts, all expensive of course but nothing unheard of. then they order 6 bottles of wine, ranging from 2-10K each. ridiculous!


and lmao you KNOW dez tipped $20 on that check.

Nice read here:

If $55K is a joke, Cowboys' veterans are punch line - NFL - CBSSports.com Football (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/14045916/if-55k-is-a-joke-cowboys-veterans-are-punch-line)

I'm guessing there were maybe 50 of them, so that's a little over 1K per -- not too excessive when you consider they were taking home bottles of wine and whatnot.

And, yeah, he got a check for 8 million dollars earlier this year, so 50K is a drop in the bucket.
