Fantasy Football punishment comes in all shapes and sizes. It might require someone to stand on a street corner holding a stupid sign for hours. A guy might have to take his friend to a steakhouse only to sit there and watch the league winner eat a steak while he’s forced to eat a salad. Or you might have to spend 24 hours inside of a Mississippi Waffle House.
Journalist Lee Sanderlin had to do exactly that. Spend a day of his life in a Waffle House as part of his league’s epic fantasy football punishment. But there was a clever catch. For every waffle that he consumed an hour was shaved off his time. Some of you might be thinking you’d just roll in and eat 24 waffles but you’d likely go into diabetic shock. This is the Awful Waffle we’re talking about here.
Lee just got out of the Waffle House after enduring his epic fantasy football punishment and he live-tweeted everything along the way. He began this endeavor at 4:07 PM Central time on Thursday. Here’s his wild ride:
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

1:10 into it. Two more waffles and one human who is dead on the inside pic.twitter.com/zf0jeklKq1

Four waffles down. Been here for 1.5 hours, so that means I have 18.5 to go. I am already in immense discomfort. Please, somebody, launch me into the sun pic.twitter.com/LyyZObcmQ3

AND IT’S EYE OF THE TIGER HELL YEAH LETS GET ANOTHER WAFFLE

There are a lot of tweets in this thread. Did I mention that? We’re talking a day in the life at Waffle House here as part of a Fantasy Football punishment. There was no way this was going to go fast. So buckle up and enjoy the tweets!
Per my league commissioner, I am allowed to sit in the parking lot and also if I puke it won’t count against me. This won’t recalibrate the strategy tho

I saved three weeks worth of @ShutdownFullcas for this. Feel like there needs to be a Waffle House Disasters episode

7:07 CT. 3 hours, 4.75 waffles down. So many hours to go

Gonna take 45 minutes and let the body rest before attacking that crucial 6th waffle

Waffle number 6 and I’m eagerly staring into the abyss, hoping for it all to end. Also, 4 hours down now pic.twitter.com/XtmPpUNOHk

Damn this 6th waffle is not going down. Got my first shift change here and homies are getting a good tip. Lookin’ to rally here
— Lee Sanderlin (@LeeOSanderlin) June 18, 2021
Obviously, that’s why I’m going on hour 6 in a waffle house my man. If I could finish this cold, concrete ass waffle I could shave an hour off https://t.co/YcNwa3Unmj

Everyone knows the roster sucks. That’s literally why he’s stuck in a Waffle House for 24 hours. It’s possible that drinking the Waffle House beer might’ve made the time move by faster. Or not.
LETS GO! Waffle no. 6 has been consumed. And the music came back on. 12 hours to go!!!!! pic.twitter.com/bqHF6IC9lC

Hello. It is hour 7. Where we stand: 6 waffles consumed. 11 hours remain. Insides are in shambles, but two kind Mississippians came in and gave me some Rolaids. Shoutout those people. Yr boy is in PAIN

Full of waffles but devoid of life

What’s up: back from my brief stint getting some phone juice. Got some coffee in an effort to get ~ t h i n g s ~ moving. Sorry to the haters who thought I’d spend the night sleeping pic.twitter.com/hmBR6VlL03

We’ve entered peak boredom hours. All the staff went out for their smoke breaks. This Waffle House doesn’t feel like a waffle home with no one here pic.twitter.com/jv2epLvvvi

The end is in sight at this point but the misery is real and that doesn’t speed up the adventure at all. The middle of the night at Waffle House is not a cheery place.
Waffle 7 was easily the worst tasting one but I finally put it down. Maybe it’ll come back up soon. Who can say, 7ish hours to go pic.twitter.com/NJuKVZWoxf

6 hours to go. Deep into the doldrums of the night now
— Lee Sanderlin (@LeeOSanderlin) June 18, 2021
Ok, I have four hours left. Again, the plan here is to order two waffles at 6 am CT and get out of here at 7. That would be 9 waffles and an amount of calories I don’t want to think about
— Lee Sanderlin (@LeeOSanderlin) June 18, 2021
I’d be getting claustrophobic at this point.

All that stands between me and going home in the next 30 minutes. So damn close. pic.twitter.com/2EgD4Dajdv

The sun is rising, it’s a new day and I’m never eating waffles again. That’s 9 waffles and 15 hours in this restaurant. S/o to the staff for letting me hang out on a slow night (I tipped them well don’t worry). This was horrible and I recommend no one ever do this. pic.twitter.com/PDGsuHYINf

R.I.P. his toilet. After 9 waffles and 15 straight hours in a Waffle House, the porcelain throne will never be the same. Nor will his insides.
A creative fantasy football punishment is truly a game-changer. I’ve shared this many times here on BroBible but I used to be in a league where we had extra money in the dues so the winner could choose anywhere (they could afford) to buy a one-way ticket and the last place finisher had to go there and complete a mission. The stakes were high.
This guy got stuck flying from NYC to the middle of the desert. Hours outside of Death Valley he had to spend the night in a haunted Clown Motel. It’s horrifying. The clown motel has a graveyard next door. If you are looking for a clever fantasy football punishment then check this one out.
