Social media has a long memory. So if you\u2019re going to publicly commit to do something outlandish around an outcome, you better be ready to make good when it happens.<\/p>\n
Clippers blogger Robert Flom is learning that lesson like so many before him.<\/p>\n
On December 20, the Los Angeles Clippers were a depressing 6-21. When a fan responded to an X post of his, claiming that the team would go 15-3 at some point this season, Flom,\u00a0owner of Clippers blog 213Hoops<\/a>, responded, \u201cIf they go 15-3 in any stretch this season, will print and eat this tweet.\u201d<\/p>\n If they go 15-3 in any stretch this season will print and eat this tweet<\/p>\n \u2014 Robert Flom (@RichHomieFlom) December 21, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n A funny thing happened not too long after this post. The Clippers started putting it together. And with their 126-89 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, they completed an 18-game stretch in which they went 15-3.<\/p>\n Uh-oh.<\/p>\n Sure enough, everyone involved with the Clippers seems to know about the self-imposed bet.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc40 https:\/\/t.co\/ylANluCMen<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 LA Clippers (@LAClippers) January 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n CTRL+P \ud83d\udda8\ufe0f @RichHomieFlom<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/L3NVv81wCn<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 LA Clippers (@LAClippers) January 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Here it is, a solid comp clip of me asking Tyronn Lue, Kawhi Leonard, and Ivica Zubac postgame tonight about @RichHomieFlom<\/a>\u2018s now infamous tweet that he has to eat: pic.twitter.com\/xAi6xAUpvD<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Justin Russo (@FlyByKnite) January 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t think they would be horrendous the entire season,\u201d Flom told The Athletic<\/a>. \u201cI thought they would improve, but I thought 15-3, based on what we\u2019ve seen, seemed just about impossible, and they proved it wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n True to his word, Flom printed out and ate the tweet<\/a> during a livestream on Monday night.<\/p>\n Paper Bowl with @RichHomieFlom<\/a> live right now https:\/\/t.co\/QTSWuP5PZP<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Bun (@bunrxm) January 27, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Good for Flom for following through and having some fun with it. Also, kudos for not promising to eat anything more disturbing. We\u2019re STILL waiting for the Florida State fan who promised to eat dog poop<\/a> to pay up.<\/p>\n \t
