Michael Sam intervened for one overzealous fan who told the Internet he’d buy drinks for everyone in the world, if the Rams defensive end sacked Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel and followed up with the “money fingers” sign. Sam did just that.

Rams vs Browns tonight. If Michael Sam sacks Johnny Football & gives the money sign, drinks are on me. For everyone in the world. Forever.

Today I messed up by promising mankind free booze for all eternity.
— FISHER KING (@SquareKnight) August 24, 2014 Nobody wants to see someone go bankrupt over an Internet bet, and the only other outcome would be to welch on it and be ceaselessly mocked. There was only one man who could save him: Michael Sam.
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 Making one charitable donation is a whole lot lighter on the wallet than buying booze for the entire Internet, provided our math is correct. The fan took his much-needed out.
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.
