In today's trending Cowboys news, Dallas Cowboys superstar wide receiver Dez Bryant recalled earlier this week how mad he was when veteran players ran up a $55,000 bill on him when he bought them dinner as a rookie.
Per Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk, former Cowboys receiver Jesse Holley was one of the culprits and had a very easy answer for how the tab got so high. Holley told 105.3 The Fan that he and the other veteran ordered liquor that night which cost $1,300 a shot.
“There’s one called the Louis XIII Rare Cask. They only have about 50 bottles in the world. Two of them were in Texas. One of them is in Houston and the other one was at Pappas Bros. For one shot, it was $1,300 dollars. It’s Cognac. They brought it out in this case where they had to push a button and it opened up illuminating. They had to serve it in white gloves,” Holley stated, via the Dallas Morning News.
Holley left before the bill came, but also said that it was his recollection that all of the rookies were supposed to share the bill. Bryant, however, recalls it differently.
Either way, Holley had a blast.
“I’m not a drinker, but when they said it was $1,300 a shot, I said I’m not missing this opportunity to say I drank something that cost $1,300," Holley said.
"It was really, really, really smooth and you don’t need much of it to hit you."
