5 Ideas For Fantasy Football Punishments

Author Richie Ortiz

The beginning of football season this coming weekend also means the beginning of fantasy football season. Of course, everyone dreams of winning the league, but everyone also has nightmares of coming in last place. Not only is there the shame of having the worst record, but some leagues implement stipulations for the person in last place that make everyone in the league feel as if they had won.

Traditionally, there’s the toilet bowl. A hideous trophy for the person in the cellar to flaunt. However, other leagues have challenges and tasks. I like to call them punishments, and people are getting real creative with them. Some are creative. Others are hilarious. So I made a list of my favorites. Here are 5 Ideas for fantasy football punishments.

The Pancake/Waffle Challenge

The goal is for the loser to stay in a restaurant that serves pancakes or waffles for 24 hours. The only way to make the timer go faster is to eat pancakes and or waffles. For each one, one hour comes off the timer. Add a camera to document the whole thing, and you have one hilarious video to watch with the league at the next draft.

Open Mic

This one has the potential to be funny for everyone involved, but it will most likely turn out to be embarrassing unless the person in last place happens to be a comedian. For this punishment, the loser simply has to do a comedy set at an open-mic night. It doesn’t matter if it’s a packed house, because you will have the league there to support you. IT would make it much funnier if there were more people there to see the trainwreck though.

The Tattoo

This one’s a classic. Nothing says punishment more than something that lasts your whole life. The last place gets a tattoo of the league’s choosing. You can even make it more fun by allowing the person with the most points to choose the tattoo. That way people have more incentives to play for than just a championship.

The Hot Ones Challenge

Other than the tattoo, this is the only punishment that has the potential for pain. Just like Hot Ones, this punishment has to do with hot sauces. Buy the 10-sauce set and have the loser eat 10 wings trying each sauce. Just make sure you have a gallon of milk handy. They will need it.

The Panhandler

You don’t need a camera for this one, but it would be better if you documented it. First, everyone in the league has to agree upon an amount. Next, you all make a sign. Then you give it to the loser and have him panhandle till he gets the amount agreed upon. Want to make it funnier? Require them to wear something funny. Either way, this one will be epic.

Score Big With These 5 Tasty Game Day Appetizers

What an exciting time for football. And with the Super Bowl around the corner, you might as well make sure you have your appetizers and snacks in order. Whether you’re excited about the game, the insane commercials, or the halftime show, it’s certain that most people will be chowing down on apps.

Last year, a study found that appetizers make up most people’s diets on gameday. Interestingly, 70% of people skip the entrée and stick to appetizers on Super Bowl Sunday. This study also found that 41% say they tend to overeat.

Another study found that more than half of people look forward to game day parties because of the food. Also, highlighted is that 74% of people plan to make food at home. Meanwhile, 26% plan to order from restaurants. Either way, there will be food.

Game Day Crowd-Pleasers

Taste of Home compiled a list of what they consider to be the best of the best when it comes to apps. Their top five include an antipasto platter with meat and cheese cubes, pepper jelly hogs in a blanket, beef Wellington fried wontons, fruit charcuterie board, and ham and Swiss sliders.

There’s something for everyone from last-minute party throwers to ambitious hosts. If you’re looking for something quick chips and dip is a go. If you’re looking for something with a bit of pizazz, maybe try a quesadilla ring.

This year’s Super Bowl will be held on Sunday, Feb. 11. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. EST. Whether you’re tuning in for the game, watching for the commercials, or just want to see Usher’s halftime show, make sure you have your snacks ready to go.

There are many game day apps you can add to the menu, from wings, dips, and sliders, to desserts, and breads. Check out these appetizers that will make watching the game even more fun.

  • Chicken Wings

    Whether you’re going store-bought or homemade, chicken wings are a definite crowd pleaser. They’re easily customizable from a simple dry rub to a tossed-in sauce moment. And if you are trying to keep things somewhat on the healthier side, you can always bake your wings instead of frying them.

    Nachos are a game-day favorite for many. You can go all out with toppings or keep it simple if you need to make something quick. The main ingredients include tortilla chips, cheese, and toppings. These toppings can be meat, tomatoes, black olives, black beans, corn, onions, among others.

  • Buffalo Chicken Dip

    Buffalo chicken dip features chicken mixed with your favorite buffalo sauce and cream cheese. If don’t feel like cooking the chicken, you can always grab a rotisserie chicken. It can be paired with tortilla chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices.

  • Loaded Potato Skins

    These are a budget-friendly option that can be made with ingredients that you probably already have on hand. It’s a more effortless appetizer made with the crispy skins of a baked potato filled with bacon, cheese, sour cream, and chives. To make it more of an appetizer, you can opt for smaller potatoes.
