Roddy White promised season tickets to a fan if Mercer beat Duke. Doesn't look like he's paying up completely, but will get the guy tickets to one game.

Did he also offer to buy someone a Honda?

Updated with White's offer

87.5% of a welsh is almost worse than 100% of a welsh.

That's awful. I stay away from Roddy like the plague during ff season, and this just cements it.

Atlanta Falcons receiver Roddy White is paying up for the Twitter bet he lost.

White, who told fan Dylan Hoyt he would give him season tickets on the 50-yard line if 14th-seeded Mercer beat third-seeded Duke in the NCAA basketball tournament, ended up following through with his promise days after Mercer upset Duke, 78-71. A team official confirmed White would present Hoyt with two seasons tickets and two Super Bowl tickets.

Hoyt also will receive pregame sideline passes to any one game and will be a guest of White's at training camp, where he'll sit in the VIP section and talk to players after practice.

White didn't want to make a big deal about the story, but it took on a life of its own after the receiver was attacked on Twitter for not following through on the bet. The team mentioned how White was willing to follow through because Hoyt was such a class act about the whole matter.

"I'm a man of integrity and definitely a man of my word, and the kid is a great kid," White told ESPN.com. "We have talked about it for days while people were just speculating. And being a father, you have to be responsible for your actions. I have always been a 'say what you do and do what you say' type of guy. And I wanted to add some incentives because he was so cool."

PR move? Season tickets AND SB tickets after he was only going to do the Bears game? Hmmmm

wow, 40 year old deaf chick hears for the first time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7LcNUxcQ8Y

i haven't cried in some time but it's been water works over here for the last few minutes

Seems like they should've set up something more awesome for her to hear than this bird droning on and on about the days of the week.

"Tumbling Dice" or something, I dunno.

There's some guy on Reddit who got a similar procedure, and he's been chronicling hearing music for the first time. Pretty awesome, I'll dig itup.

at least it wasn't a recording of Jim Nantz

Let her listen to **** Vitale and tell her all men speak that way. See if she unplugs.

How long does Baylor stay in the zone?

They've been almost exclusively a zone team since they hired Scott Drew. They have a few wrinkles and movements to switch up the look, but they don't play much man.

I was under the impression they played quite a bit of man earlier in the season and have played zone exclusively in the past month or so (as I typed this, Marv said essentially the same thing)I haven't seen much Baylor at all this year.

No big deal. They weren't on TV much. They primarily play a 1-3-1 zone. They have options on it to pack it in to a 2-3 when the ball goes to the side, or hold the 1-3-1 form to prevent threes, or move Austin up to the middle and run and trap around him. It's had varying levels of success. Last year they would have guys playing different looks at the same time and it was a cluster####.

However, switching it up within that zone look was how they beat Dayton and Kentucky in December, and adding some discipline to it was how they got to the finals of the Big XII Tournament.

 

[Eephus]

does baylor have any kind of run in them?

I would think so. They are still very athletic and getting to the rim easily.

Update?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

I'm pretty sure that no one on Baylor has ever played any facet of basketball before.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

still athletic.

 

[Frostillicus]

Has any team ever gotten so many easy lay-ups?

 

[Eviloutsider]

Update?

still athletic.

Their bigs can get to the rim every time but it doesn't seem like they utilize them enough.

 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Baylor practices shot selection like the divorced businessman at the bar at 2am practices woman selection.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

The really bad foul for Nastic was his 4th.

 

[Eviloutsider]

Nigel with a #### chop.

 

[jon_mx]

does baylor have any kind of run in them?

Yeah....but it is called diarrhea.

 

[sporthenry]

This is turrible.

 

[Premier]

This first game could've been Kansas - Syracuse.

I know everyone loves the upsets but jeez. This game sucks all kinds of D.

UCLA-Florida was the only really interesting game tonight anyways. Tommorrow has the better matchups with Louisville-Kentucky and MSU-Virginia.

 

[Eviloutsider]

They are fouling down 20 the rest of the way?

Well, it worked the first two times.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Tommorrow has the better matchups with Louisville-Kentucky and MSU-Virginia.

At the same damn time too. CBS sucks

Well there is a difference between interesting or competitive. With at least one of those, you have a decent game. With neither, this is barely watchable.

 

[Eviloutsider]

Wisconsin can't hit a FT. I hope that doesn't come into play on Saturday.

 

[Premier]

All 4 games tomorrow night look interesting.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Dayton looks great.

Anyone think they can make the finals?

He's no Dr. Gobbler.

 

[Premier]

10:15 tip for Florida ?

 

[Eviloutsider]

Angela from the Office is in Anaheim.

 

[sporthenry]

Dayton looks great.

Anyone think they can make the finals?

Talk to me after Florida

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

A 2 hour 25 minute non-OT game. Second game tips at 10:15. CBS sucks

 

[Premier]

Yea sweet job staggering these games too. Nice 30 minute break with no games on before a 10:15 tip. Eat a ####ing **** CBS

 

[tri-man 47]

A 2 hour 25 minute non-OT game. Second game tips at 10:15. CBS sucks

Baylor-Wisconsin almost lapped them.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

To be fair, watching the last 20 minutes of Wisconsin/Baylor may have been worse than no basketball.

 

[Eviloutsider]

Baylor-Wisconsin almost lapped them.

They would have had Baylor not started fouling at 3:30.

 

[Ballstein]

I waited all week for this?

wow. once in a lifetime this kid.

 

[Abraham]

Why are the ucla cheerleaders wearing so much clothing?

 

[Ballstein]

I miss hating billy packer

 

[TenTimes]

Taco Bell Ronald McDonald commercial is awesome. Hope it gets responses.

Waffle taco?

 

[timschochet]

Sloppy start.

 

[Premier]

I see UCLA went from the beautiful baby blue jersey look to the ugly dark blue sleeved look. Smart.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

For the most part, Adidas hates their customers. Remember the camo jerseys they made for the tourney last year? Cincinnati looked like a girls' high school team.Hard to believe it's the same company that did those KU throwbacks, huh?

 

[timschochet]

Hopefully the Gators can't continue shooting this well.

 

[Abraham]

Hopefully the Gators can't continue shooting this well.

No reason to think they will keep it up, what with being the #1 team in the country and all.

Adidas uniforms have been horrible past couple of years.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

2nd foul on Anderson didn't look like much

 

[timschochet]

Hopefully the Gators can't continue shooting this well.

No reason to think they will keep it up, what with being the #1 team in the country and all.

They're not the greatest shooting team though, are they?

Doesn't matter at the moment because UCLA's gone into a scoring drought.

 

[Abraham]

I don't know Tim,

 

[Raider Nation]

In the NCAA tourney, no less. Makes you wanna cry. The terrorists have won.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

They're not the greatest shooting team though, are they?

No, but Frazier can light it up. Can't let him keep getting looks if you're UCLA.

Wilbekin has been good from 3 since the start of conference play and Finney-Smith has his days.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

How about showing a replay of one of these fouls?
