Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White is a Duke fan, and he was positive the Blue Devils would be able to beat Mercer in the second round. He even went as far as to promise a fan a season ticket if Mercer won.

When the Bears pulled the upset of the tournament, White said he would partially hold up his end of the bargain.

Predictably, White was roasted by fans on Twitter after not holding up his end of the deal, and he fired back Sunday morning.

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 — Roddy White (@roddywhiteTV) March 23, 2014

Plus it's illegal to gamble in the NFL — Roddy White (@roddywhiteTV) March 23, 2014

The fan involved, for his part, is completely fine with White chickening out.

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 — Dylan Hoyt (@DHoyt77) March 23, 2014
