Hazing In The NFL: Eagles Rookie Stuck With Outrageous Dinner Tab

Lane Johnson, the Philadelphia Eagles’ 4th overall pick in 2013, “voluntarily” picked up the dinner tab for his fellow offensive linemen on Friday night at Philadelphia’s upscale Del Frisco’s Steakhouse.

He tweeted a photo of the check.

The total: $17,847.86, gratuity included. And here’s a better look at the itemized dinner tab:

Now I’m dying to know what a $275 shot of Remy Martin Louis XIII tastes like and if I should expect to reach full climax soon after taking it. My favorite item on this receipt is easily the $3,495 bottle of Screaming Eagle Cabernet that someone snuck in while ordering dessert, right there between the cheesecake and bread pudding–a “fuck you” bottle of wine that equals a month’s take-home in the average American household.

It wasn’t hazing, though, because Johnson paid for it voluntarily…

    So professional athletes can do this, but when a fraternity makes a pledge do a small task the fraternity can be in big trouble….

      Worth it. You’re basically paying for the dominant pee. Can you imagine the asparagus butt pee…?

      First of all, you spell like Simple Jack. Second, he tweeted the receipt – what part of that isn’t squealing?

        The part where he didn’t go around saying that he was being bullied, and the part where he said it was voluntary.

    It’s not hazing. Pledging is “optional”. That’s all anyone has to know.
