Browns' Randall shocked by overwhelming response to his viral Cavs tweet
Cleveland Browns safety Damarious Randall is, as of Wednesday afternoon, on the hook to buy over 820,000 jerseys for people who retweeted his pledge regarding the outcome of the NBA Finals.
At $99.99 per Browns jersey, a stunned Randall is already facing an unfeasible $82-million bill if the Cleveland Cavaliers defeat the highly favored Golden State Warriors.
"Honestly, I didn't think it was going to get over 100 (retweets), to be honest," Randall said Wednesday, according to ESPN's Pat McManamon.

Randall added: "We'll talk about this after the series is over," noting that he intends to do something for the fans regardless of who takes home the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
The veteran defensive back said he would "100 percent" fulfill his pledge in a follow-up tweet, but didn't reveal exactly how he intends to pay considering his contract is only worth $7.9 million over four years.
"I definitely didn't think the Cleveland fan base would go this crazy about it," Randall said. "Obviously, it is a joke. Just to know how passionate this fan base is, it is really encouraging."
