$54,000 Can Feed Haiti for a Month...Or Just the Cowboys.

That really is pretty excessive.

The more I here people talk about the story - the more it seems to me that's the case. Kind of a dick move by Williams - and the guys taking $1000 bottles of wine home.
I get the whole hazing thing - and picking up a tab is a reasonable thing in a typical circumstance....this seems to be a bit much though, bordering on cruel or divisive to what team bonding should be. Their lucky Bryant seems to be a good sport about it (at least to the media).


I know Bryant will make a lot this year, but that's still a pretty big tab (considering it was kind of forced on him) ......but since he was a good sport, maybe it;d be nice for Jerry Jones to kick back some of the tab. Even if it was just half and behind closed doors - just my .02.

While I agree with you, it's not like Dez Bryant can't afford it. He got $8.3 million in guaranteed money from his rookie contract. This bill isn't even 1% of that guaranteed money.

Right. Based on his yearly salary, it's not so excessive as a percentage. It' only .007%. If you broke it down to a "normal" salary like $50,000, it would be $350, which seems totally acceptable fot a large party's food and drinks, and take home wine.

So, Roy Williams has his best game since 2006 or so, and stick's it to Dez ? I can't wait to see goose eggs in the box score this week for Williams, oh, except in the drop category. ::facepalm::

Then let's see what Roy does (oh, and it was great to see Roy do the "Hook 'Em" after his TD. Didn't Texas lose 34-12 to UCLA the day before ?)
