Dallas Cowboys rookie WR Dez Bryant spends $54900 for teammates' dinner.
Hilarious.

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.

Jesus Christ, that is really unfair for Dez

[Oznogrd]

and that is why you take your hits as a rookie on the field and at practice.

The vets will always find a way to get ya.

Lol That's hilarious!

Moss to Vikings rumors.

If it happens i think its gamechanger. even a coach as bad as chilly can win with a top 3 HB and a top 5 WR.

[Oznogrd]

well moss returns to minny. For a 3rd round pick

I'd say minny wins this trade by far.

[[Q]]

yeah they pretty much gave him away. im afraid it might hurt the fantasy value of welker.

I'd doubt, the routes welker runs aren't ones where double coverage etc can really help since he's such a possesion kinda guy..

Tate and Edelmann=deep threat i'd guess and welker will be welker.

According to Charley Casserly of CBS, Brady and Moss had a verbal altercation before the trade and that the pair had to be separated. During the spat, Brady told his receiver to shave his beard. Moss responded that Brady should cut his hair, because he looks like a girl.

Brady was in the wrong there. You don't mess with a man's facial hair. Only a woman does that, which Brady happens to look like according to Moss.

In response to that

Tom Brady has been sporting an extra-long coif these days -- one that some have compared to Justin Bieber's famous hairdo -- and his wife Gisele Bundchen is a huge, huge fan!

I half expected a post with Axel going on about Adam Morrison's "epic 'stache". So far, I've been let down.

Ive been talking about the Vikings bring Moss back to Minnesota all this yr with Favre. It finally happens but now i may have to wait a little longer.

wait for what? what the fuck are you talking about?

[atlwarrior]

I missed Randy Moss debut with the Vikings and Favre might be suspended the nxt couple of weeks according to the commissioner. Something to do with sexual harassment. Idk that much about it. Google it.

[Oznogrd]

meh i doubt he'll get suspended. He's looking for "facts" still. Also, Favre is claiming his elbow "hurts" and he might sit. But how'd you miss the debut, it was the only thing on ESPN

[atlwarrior]

Idek bro it just crossed my mind i guess. But I definitely regret missing it.

[JaoSming]

So what do you think about suspending players for "devastating hits" "head shots" and hitting "defenseless players"?

IMO, this is stupid, I do like seeing someone get willingly jacked up (willingly because they chose to play the game) the same way I like to see NASCAR crashes, MMA/Boxing KOs, and skating/BMX/moto X crashes. The WRs know that they could get messed up if they go on the field...anyone who plays football knows that, but having a subjective standard with "devastating hits" bringing up suspensions is No Fun League.

I do understand helmet to helmet, but IMO they should upgrade helmets and possibly add a small neck brace to allow it....but this other shit is ridiculous. I know they are worried about a player breaking his neck or dieing on the field but more players die during the summer camps thank on the field.

I dunno, its just BS, the next step will be a player going in for a big hit, the WR or whoever making a nice juke and getting past them but the defender still gets fined because he was trying to mess him up......bleh, ima go play some Backbreaker.

[koberulz]

Don't recall the name, but that Patriots player seemed to be going in with the intent of creating helmet-to-helmet contact. The other two hits looked fine to me, though.

[JaoSming]

yea, I agree with intentionally doing it but my understanding is that we could see fines and suspensions for those other big hits over the weekend.

[Oznogrd]

Agreed, it's too subjective an idea. You cant read minds and therefore cant read intent. Football will turn into madden/arena if they start punishing big hits.

[shadowgrin]

Do it old school. Really really old school, by removing the helmets. Problem solved?

Ahhhhhhh... we can finally say the Panthers are no longer 0-5. They're now 1-5.
Wow-even this was pretty damn close.
