The old “have to spend 24 hours in a restaurant” is among the worst fantasy football punishments there is for coming in last place.
Just ask poor Lee Sanderlin, a journalist for the Clarion Ledger.
Sanderlin was in a league in which finishing in last place meant he had to spend 24 hours in a Waffle House, which may sound like a delicious punishment. However! He was told that every waffle he ate would knock off one hour from the 24.
Sanderlin tweeted the whole experience up until he left Friday morning, and so we had to recap the highs and many, many lows of this endeavor.
We’ll start from the beginning, in Mississippi:
I am coming to you live from a Brandon, Mississippi Waffle House. I, a total loser, came in last place in my fantasy football league. As punishment, I spend 24 hours in a Waffle House. Every waffle I eat shaves an hour off the clock. It’s 4:07 Central. pic.twitter.com/oRugzU7rQT
