Roddy White Promised A Fan Season Tickets If Duke Lost. Uh, Roddy?


Roddy White had Duke going all the way in this year's NCAA Tournament. Dylan Hoyt begged to differ. White tweeted something he probably regrets.

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





The lesson is not to make offhand bets on Twitter, because you're going to be held to them. Duke did indeed lose, and everyone rejoiced—except White, who went silent for a while after the game.

I don't know if it's actually within White's power to secure front-row, 50-yard-line season tickets, but he just announced that Hoyt's going to get something:


(Roddy is maybe confused because Hoyt has been tweeting "go Bears," but in relation to the Mercer Bears?)

One game does seem fair, because it's not as if the fan put anything up. But White still sounds so, so salty.

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

Y'all people are crazy on twitter you want me to man up and pay a bet to a person that had nothing to lose in the bet #soundsridicules



One Bears game is not season tickets on the 50 yard line. Not sure what he should do here, but he should probably learn a lesson here.

A ticket to a game definitely isn't the same. Mr Big Money should just shut up next time since he clearly can't back up his talk.

Great chance for White to get some good pub. Could have done an intro of the guy before the 1st preseason home game. Handed him his tickets, etc. Now he looks like an ass.

This whole thing is ridicules.

I've talked to @roddywhiteTV and he's a good man who deserves the respect of everyone on twitter! Give him a break! #RiseUp

Boo and hiss are frequently used as sounds of ridicule, if that helps.

What was the fan going to give white if he lost the bet?

_________________

Nothing. He didn't offer anything. White was the one who made the bet because he thought there was no chance Duke could lose.

It wasn't a bet. It was a big mouth so sure of an outcome he made a promise he refuses to keep.

Cool move by the fan.

And yes I'm an Atlanta Falcons fan and Mercer Bears fan not a Chicago bears fan.




Dylan Hoyt @DHoyt77 · Mar 23
And I'm HUGE Falcons fan and I want a Super Bowl not season tickets and a tweet that went viral isn't worth the time and crap that comes too

Georgia, USA


Dylan Hoyt @DHoyt77 · Mar 23
I don't expect anything from @roddywhiteTV because it wasn't even a legit bet. I do not want to be a distraction to The Falcons organization

I'm sad to see that JORR and Greg beat me to the obvious joke. This guy needs to get a publicist before he looks ridicules.

Here's the rest of em from that time...


@roddywhiteTV You know that's gone hurt the university you can't control a grown man I just think they should've got him arrested and that's the end

@roddywhiteTV Joe pa told the people he was suppose to tell he is a football coach he coaches 100 student athletes the head people should've done more

@roddywhiteTV I would send my kid there if he wanted to go he wasn't rappin football players that's a great program that joe pa ran

@roddywhiteTV Y'all are crazy for thinking I'm saying it was ok for penn state to hide the incident but to blame joe pa when he told the people is bad




More like @roddywhiteDB amirite?

Was this national news? Was White crucified for this? Are my years of drug use blurring my memory?

Correct; he isn't welching on a bet, he's .... well, I can't use the customary word in this situation .... he's 'backing out' of a promise .... seems a little worse in that light .... and I don't think it's a stretch to presume that Roddy would've been a cockbite about Duke winning had that occurred.

(ridicules .... it's one thing to be an assbag, but to double down and be remedial on top of it .... always entertaining .... nomination sekunded)

Seriously, when did he tweet this, that'd been like a weeks worth of programming right there.
