San Francisco is a united force as the NFL nears the postseason and their bond also appears to be flowing off the field.
Pranks and jokes within a team are always signs of a thriving franchise, and the Niners nail that, too.
Images emerged of a $322,391.05 bill being scooped up by members of the team and many outlets reported that this was a fact. Instead, the crew collected a more reasonable $7500 tab.
However, pass rusher Arik Armstead dismissed the rhetoric, revealing it was a prank on rookie teammates.
San Francisco 49ers rookies didn’t have to pay for a $332,000 dinner, instead splitting $4,500
“You’re all silly if you thought dinner can cost 300,000,” he said. “It was a prank. The waitress went overboard.
“Dinner cost me 7500 and two other vets gave 1000 for it. The towers shared 4500.
“We had a great time too,” added Armstead. “I had good vets as a young player, I would never do a rookie like that.”
Stud pass rusher Arik Armstead clarified that the original bill was just a prank on the rookies

It’s a tradition that goes back decades. There are other examples of haze occurring in sports, e.g. B. Being forced to carry a veteran’s bags, accepting rough haircuts, and being spotted playing baseball; dress up as women.
Despite a lighter wallet, things appear to be pretty rosy for San Francisco, who have a 10-4 record and currently occupy the No. 3 NFC seed.
