Credit card roulette is a game not for the faint of heart. Before you know it, you’re spending $300 on drinks for your friends who are getting off unharmed only to forget that it ever happened, only for you to check your bank account in the morning and commit to not going out for the next two weekends.
Well, rookie hazing in the NFL isn’t any different (besides the fact that the stakes are astronomically higher).
KJ Dillon, a rookie safety for the Houston Texans, found this out the hard way. He posted a photo of the receipt he got stuck with last night presumably after eating dinner with fellow teammates who were not, in fact, rookies.
Yeah, that reads $16255.20. And it doesn’t appear that anyone was letting up on him prior to the bill coming considering the grotesque amounts of unnecessary foods listed on the receipt. I don’t know why creamed spinach goes for more than $10 a pop, but much like when you’re out to dinner with your parents, it doesn’t matter because you’re not paying.
The toughest part to swallow? The $7700 on Hennessy because Dillon doesn’t even fucking drink.
And just in case you were wondering how today’s going for him after losing out on $16,000+ last night:
No word yet on whether he’s going to eat it depressed in his car during practice like the rest of us. .

22 shots of Henney? Brock Osweiler must have been trying to drink his benching sorrows away.
Ouch.
On $450k this year. That stings. A lot. Like getting an $1800 bill on $50k/yr.
That just elevated my heartrate.
This is why professional athletes are dumb and go broke. If I was the new guy and was told to pay an $1800 bill, I’d tell my coworkers to fuck off.

“TOTAL does not include gratuity” is a heartbreaker.
That waiter making more in one night than I do in two weeks. PGP
20% tip would be $3251.04
Who brought the nerd?
Seriously, how many people need to be at the table for gratuity to be included at Pappas? Isn’t 8 the norm?
Was Micah dinning with them? I bet he ordered extra creamed spinach to throw at a poor innocent person later.
That bill alone is over 1/3 of my salary.
The moral of this story is “don’t go out to dinner with teammates if you are an NFL rookie. Pretend your have the plague to get out of it.”
Sticking the rookie with the bill..now that’s a “Tom” Savage move…I’ll see myself out
Pappas isn’t even top of the line either. In that regard he got lucky.
Actually if its Pappas Steakhouse, its considered to be one of the top 1-2 steakhouses in Houston.
I live down the street from Pappa’s Pizza Palace. Best $7 lunch in its shopping center.
“TOTAL does not include gratuity.”
you didn’t include the best parts, where someone asks who ordered the salad and he says it was him!! lol
Ha!
