It's been a brutal year for Cleveland runner Peyton Hillis in many different ways. Just this past Monday, the highly respected former Browns lineman LeCharles Bentley made a highly critical tweet about Hillis. It typified how Hillis has gone from poster child to pariah in the blink of an eye. Bentley claimed that Hillis was supposed to make an appearance for a charity Halloween event for kids at a Boys & Girls Club, but according to Bentley, the running back was a no-show. Bentley then tweeted: "Peyton Hillis looking for 10mil guaranteed from Browns and can't show up to kids charity event? #ManPlease." According to Mike Freeman of CBS Sports, one of his Twitter friends had the line of the night saying Bentley did attend the event and went as the Madden curse. Later that night Bentley tweeted: "FYI, I'm a board member at Boys & Girls Club. Great event planned. Just didn't work out. We all can move on." Source: CBS Sports
Most of me thinks Hillis is just flat out bitter about not being paid and milking the injury/strep throat...
I guarantee this is BS. Hillis has always struck me as a nice guy. Not some douche bag who no shows charity events. I would guarantee he forgot about the event and Charles (who is new to scheduling things) didn't remind him.
