Roddy White owes fan prime season tickets after Duke loss to Mercer
Roddy White’s big mouth got him in trouble again, and it remains to be seen whether or not he’s going to pay up.
White is a big sports fan and loves to tweet about whatever sports he’s watching. He often talks about his Boston Celtics or Duke Blue Devils.
On Tuesday, he was tweeting about his Blue Devils and saying he thought they would win the championship.
Championship RT @kristenm2185 how far do you think duke goes this year??

Then he said his Celtics should draft Jabari Parker.
Jabari Parker RT @StanleyCharlie4 who do you think the Celtics should draft in the next draft?

Then he explained how Rodney Hood would be a key factor in Duke’s tournament run:
Duke will be find if Rodney hood decides he wants to rebound the basketball in the tourney if he doesn't than we will be out sweet 16

And then White sent the tweet that could cost him after a Twitter person told him Mercer was going to beat Duke:
@DHoyt77 if mercer beat duke I will give you season tickets 50 yard line first row

Sure enough, Mercer won the game. Roddy has been silent on Twitter since then.
We’re guessing he’ll find a way to back out. No way he really gives the fan tickets on the 50-yard line, right?
UPDATE: Shortly after we published and the story received attention, White addressed the matter over Twitter.
I lost a bet and I will give him tickets to the bears game since he is a bears fan done with this bet

Better than nothing, right?
