Chicago Bears rookies defensive back Shea McClellin and practice squad Aston Whiteside went to dinner with some of their\u00a0 team mates at a restaurant in Chicago and ended up with a $38,000 dinner bill.<\/p>\n

Well kind of.<\/p>\n

It was all a part of a prank that the veterans decided to play on the rookies. After dinner, Whiteside was handed a bill for $38,091.91.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Veteran defensive end Idonije said “they didn’t know what to do with themselves”<\/p>\n

McClellin and Whiteside stared at the bill for a few minutes trying to figure out how to pay for it\u00a0 before they were told it was fake.<\/p>\n

Wow, talk about your eyes popping out of your head.<\/p>\n

McClellin said the actual bill amount was around $10,000. (Which would STILL make my eyes pop out of my head)<\/p>\n

Rookie hazing is seen over all sports from the NFL to MLB. It is always in good fun… at least for the vets.<\/p>\n

McClellin was drafted #19 overall by the Chicago Bears in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
