    Roddy White welches on bet !

    Pretty disappointing

    Maybe it's not a billion-dollar largesse from some silver-spoon member of the elite, but it'll do.

    After Atlanta Falcons receiver Roddy White tweeted Tuesday that Duke's basketball squad was a shoo-in to win the NCAA Tournament, one of his followers, Dylan Hoyt, begged to differ:

    Dylan Hoyt @DHoyt77
    @roddywhiteTV @kristenm2185 Mercer gonna beat em first round! #478

    Roddy White @roddywhiteTV
    @DHoyt77 if mercer beat duke I will give you season tickets 50 yard line first row

    Like clockwork, 14th-seeded Mercer on Friday dropped a 78-71 hammer on the Blue Devils, meaning Hoyt just hit pay dirt.

    Right, Mr. White?

    UPDATE: We've heard from Roddy, who's in no mood to furnish anyone with season-long passes:

    Roddy White @roddywhiteTV
    I lost a bet and I will give him tickets to the bears game since he is a bears fan done with this bet

    Hey if the guy gets game tickets good enough. Maybe White shouldn't have said that but c'mon, its Twitter.

    What if the guy responded with saying he would buy White a porsche and then lost? Would he get the same negative attention? I doubt it.

      Not saying its a big deal but if White's going to say that he should follow it through.... not like he's short of money

        Well, no, because Dylan isn't a high profile athlete running his mouth. He's just an average folk who happens to follow Roddy.

        Personally... Roddy ran his mouth, lost, and now is welching on what he said. He'd have HUGE PR is he did own up to his proclomation and got the season tickets to Dylan. But instead, he's gonna get all the flack for backing out.

          I don't see where it was even a bet. Guy says Duke is gonna lose, Roddy says no they won't and if they do I''ll get you tickets. Guy was in a great position, risked nothing and had everything to gain. That being said he is getting tickets so hard to be real tough about it. But White did say he would give Season tickets on the 50 so it would be nice if he followed throgh with the whole thing.

          I'll give Roddy a break though, he may still do it, he has to be pissed about his team losing to begin with and then on top of it he opened his mouth and has to back it up. Not a good day for him all in all. Give him a day or 2 to hink about it and maybe he will change his mind

            You're right, he didn't make a bet. But, he did make a pretty bold statement.

            That's like me telling my kids I'll give them $5 for every A or "pass" they get on their official report card. Sure as crap, know what happened? They both got straight A's. Know what I did? I paid up because I'm a man that made a statement and honored it.

              Your absolutely right, I agree, he should do what he said. No one forced him to say it. Now that it is out on Twitter we will see what happens

                It's amazing that the fan has more class than White. Didn't a person's word use to mean something? Man up Roddy...

                          Maybe CFL ones. Send him to Saskatchewan if he wants to see a game.
