A Twitter account from a guy called Fisher King posted this prior to the start of Saturday night's NFL game between the St. Louis Rams and Cleveland Browns, one featuring Michael Sam and Johnny Manziel:
Rams vs Browns tonight. If Michael Sam sacks Johnny Football & gives the money sign, drinks are on me. For everyone in the world. Forever.
— FISHER KING (@SquareKnight) August 23, 2014 Then this happened:
Even Michael Sam is mocking “Money” Manziel. http://t.co/y2LyeCUvkc
— NFL Retweet (@NFLRT) August 24, 2014 Fisher King realized he had a large financial problem:
Declaring bankruptcy in 3..2..1…
— FISHER KING (@SquareKnight) August 24, 2014 Thus began a chain of tweets that included some from Sam:
Today I messed up by promising mankind free booze for all eternity.
— FISHER KING (@SquareKnight) August 24, 2014 Anyone know Sam’s fave charity? So pumped he sacked JFF. If I can’t perpetually intoxicate society, I can contribute to its betterment.
— FISHER KING (@SquareKnight) August 24, 2014 I wasn’t betting against Michael Sam. I was wishing he’d do it. Joking about celebratory drinks for mankind; that was the sentiment.
— FISHER KING (@SquareKnight) August 24, 2014 I heard there was a drink offer… In lieu of that @SquareKnight the Boys & Girls Club of Greater STL could use help! pic.twitter.com/qzseOXJfED
— Michael Sam (@MichaelSamNFL) August 24, 2014 .@MichaelSamNFL: Consider it done. Great play, btw. Give ’em all Hell in the NFL! You’re a class act. God bless, brother.
— FISHER KING (@SquareKnight) August 24, 2014 Proud to have made a donation to the STL Boys & Girls Club in honor of Sam’s great play. I’m a product of a Boys & Girls Club too.
— FISHER KING (@SquareKnight) August 25, 2014 Well done and much appreciated! MT @SquareKnight Proud to have made a donation to the STL Boys & Girls Club in honor of Sam’s great play
— Michael Sam (@MichaelSamNFL) August 25, 2014 ESPN’s Darren Rovell said the donation was $500 from Fisher King, who wishes to remain anonymous. He closed with this:
I have nothing more to say about it. Most of u were good sports; thanks for that. Gotta love football. Back to obscurity in 3…2…1…
— FISHER KING (@SquareKnight) August 25, 2014 Sam gets a sack on Manziel. A charity gets $500. Everyone wins!
