Roddy White spent years as a loyal soldier in the Falcons franchise, catching pass after pass from Matt Ryan … only to see his role reduced and, finally, ended altogether just before the team reached the Super Bowl. White remains close with many current and former Falcons, and he’s not shy about offering up his opinions on the team’s recent flameout against the New England Patriots.
But before that, a story. Speaking to Atlanta Journal-Constitution writers Jeff Schultz and Zach Klein on their “We Never Played The Game” podcast, White said he bet $40,000 on the Falcons, and Charles Barkley bet more than twice that amount: $100,000, according to White.
