Peyton Hillis is seeking a lucrative multiyear contract from the Cleveland Browns, but according to Cleveland sports radio station 94.3 The Fan, families at the city's Boys & Girls Club who were hoping to be treated to a Halloween night appearance by the popular running back got tricked.
Hillis was scheduled to attend along with the organizer of the event, former Browns center LeCharles Bentley, who shared his frustration about the fact Hillis was a no-show via Twitter on Monday evening.
"Peyton Hillis looking for 10mil guaranteed from Browns and can't show up to kids charity event? #ManPlease"
It was especially disappointing for Bentley, as the event was promoted as "Halloween with Hillis," and was to be aired live as part of Bentley's own radio show.
Later in the night, Bentley tweeted the following: "FYI, I'm a board member at Boys & Girls Club. Great event planned..just didn't work out. We all can move on."
Hillis has battled injuries all season, and the Browns haven't been able to count on him to help their running game, which now will be without his replacement. Second-year back Montario Hardesty has a calf injury and won't be available for at least a couple of weeks.
If the Cleveland community which holds the Browns in such high esteem can't count on Hillis, he can't expect to be counting his desired millions from the team anytime soon.
