Apparently the New England Patriots worked up an appetite Sunday while demolishing the Raiders 49-26, so the following day, they drove down to San Jose to pay a visit to Morton’s Steakhouse. Lucky for the old guys on the team, it was “rookie night,” which means the newbies had to pick up the tab. And what a tab. A tipster informs Fly that the bill came to $30,000. That’s a lot of surf ’n’ turf, right? Wrong. “It was the Cristal,” the tipster reports. “And the Louie.” (For those of you who are not millionaire athletes, that’s Cristal champagne, which retails at around $350/bottle, and Remy Martin Louis XIV cognac, which retails at around $3,000/bottle. Who knows what they cost with standard restaurant markup?) Don’t fret, ladies, you didn’t miss anything: Tom Brady was not there. And don’t fret, Randy Moss-haters, you didn’t miss anything either; the former Raider superstar/problem-child skipped the party, too.

In September of 2005, some of the Dallas Cowboys showed up at Cinebar on San Fernando Street. This was during the time when they were training in the Bay Area, since they were playing the 49ers and the Raiders on consecutive weekends.
Johnny, the doorman at the time, was and is a huge Cowboys fan and he was wearing a Cowboys jacket, so they spotted the regalia and a bunch of them came on over.
My tipster tells me that it only took about ten of the players to completely fill the entire place, since they were that huge, and one of them was about as big as the entire doorway of the place. Imagine the scene.
The Patriots eat at Morton’s while the Cowboys roll into Cinebar. What does that tell us?

That they do not have anything better to do?
Never heard of either of those two places.
The Patriots were home Monday at 3am following the Raiders game.
The coach and players made Monday local interview shows. The players all reported to their flight home following the game, other than QB Matt Cassel, who flew home for a funeral.
Logistically, they could not have made a restaurant stop “the following day” after “demolishing the Raiders.”
The reporter is wrong about something here.
Go Sharks should Go Outside more often. Who hasn’t heard of Cinebar?
This also doesn’t make sense because they would have flown charter out of Oakland, not SJ. But the 49ers do fly into SJ, so could someone have been mistaken??
At any rate, it doesn’t matter who was ordered $3000/btl booze, just that they did here in SJ! Cha-Ching
Dingus, the Pats stayed and trained in SJ for the week.
