Sam Martin, who is a punter for the Detroit Lions, pledged on Twitter to buy 6 pounds of dog food to send to Houston for every retweet the video below received, up to $10,000. That’s pretty great, right?

Sam left out the “up to $10,000” part from the text of his tweet — 140 character limit and all — which has some blue check morons asking if he’ll really follow through on the now multi-million-pound purchase:
You're screwed, dude. I hope you have a home equity line. (Thanks for your generosity!) https://t.co/44cUQuAlL8

This guy will be buying dog food for the rest of his life to payoff this pledge. He was down for 1.9 M lbs when I RT. https://t.co/twxsQbm2qA

Anyway, on top of the generous $10,000 donation of dog food, Sam is arranging for two trailers to head down to Houston filled with supplies for people:
