I have an update on that post & it's funny!

When Lane Johnson, a Philadelphia Eagles second-year offensive lineman, treated a group of his fellow players to dinner recently at New York City’s Del Frisco’s Steak House, the guys racked up a bill totaling a jaw-dropping $17, 747.86. Impressed — or possibly shocked — by the massive check, Johnson Tweeted a photo of his receipt.

Not to be outdone by a relative newbie, a few days later veteran Eagles offensive guard Evan Mathis Tweeted a closeup of his own Del Frisco’s receipt: a whopping $64,055.76. It made Johnson’s bill look like chump change. The caption read: “Teaching rookies a lesson.”





On Friday morning, after a few good laughs—by then the photo had gone viral and the world was outraged at the players’ gluttony—Mathis posted another photo of his colossal bill, which proved it was clearly a fake and taken in his kitchen, not at the restaurant. The receipt had been printed on 8½ by 11 computer paper; the “restaurant” table was tiny, and Mathis’ stainless steel refrigerator was visible in the background.
