That's nice to read. Not only did those people get a PS4, they got one personally from an NFL player.
What a cool dude.
Rich people doing cool, gratuitous things with money!
Always refreshing to see. I don't care if some might think it's not newsworthy, I really like hearing about things like this.
I bet that has to be the best feeling ever to do that.
Id do the same if I had shit loads of money, id do lots of good with it if I knew I was setup for life
when i was working at a grocery store we had a hot dog stand that made money for charity, and we had a customer one time buy a hot dog for every employee in the store.
having a surprise hot dog half-way through an 8 hour shift is like finding gold
The fact there's a fuckton of people reading his name right now already pays for the cost.

I've met the guy at a club I was working at one time. He is actually a really awesome and nice guy. We had a new bartender who mixed up his order and immediately apologized and fixed it free of charge. He tipped him $100 for being nice and admitting to his mistake.
It's near the end of the year. They got to pay taxes some how.

Probably will be the best feeling ever for him, he'll never be able to experience being a world champion.
Well when your not as good as Johnson you gotta do something to be liked.
if i were rich i'd do crazy shit like this all the time. i would make it rain stupid overfunded projects at kickstarter
Imagine being the guy that walks in to get a PS4 10 minutes after the guy giving out PS4s leaves.
Goddamnit, i live near Dallas, i should of gone..

we need more good samaritans like him
If I got it It would be hard to sell cause some one gave it to me, I would have to give it back cause I don't really like consoles.
I'm surprised the thread hasn't been flooded with the obligatory "omfg PR stunt" replies yet.

I don't think a lot of people on FP watch football.
That's really cool until you realize the PS4 that are currently sold are all broken and people will have to return them soon enough :v:

to be fair, what else are you going to do with money that'll let you burn a few many cars out? :v:
I'd so leave a 100-200$ tip for a ton of waiters, that would be bomb as fuck just to see their face.

It would be if it was about Xbox.
Though Microsoft has some contract with NFL so it would be more suspicious anyways.
One of the reasons I'm bad with managing money is because how much I give it away. Which sucks, because of the steam sales.
