Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant finds it humorous that his humongous dinner tab sparked so much national debate. Bryant, a first-round pick, followed NFL custom by treating his offensive teammates to a meal on Sept. 27. He paid the vast majority of the $54,896 bill at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse, a hefty price for what some perceived to be revenge for Bryant refusing to follow another NFL rite of passage by carrying veteran receiver Roy Williams' shoulder pads during training camp. Bryant doesn't mind some people using the dinner as a punch line, but it does bother him that others consider the meal a controversial event. "It is funny. It was always funny," Bryant said in his first public comments since the highly publicized dinner. "I don't think about the dinner. I just don't like how some people are [portraying it]. It was all fun. "It's what rookies are supposed to do. Some of the older guys apologized. There was no need for them to apologize." Williams said last week that he took offense to the dinner being associated with revenge. Source: ESPN Dallas
