The fantasy football period is correct close to the corner and one community person recently had to pay back off the tasty, syrupy debt he accrued for finishing last put in his league.
Joshua Rousse plays fantasy football with the Muddle Militia — a neighborhood league of friends in the South Lafourche community.
In a long time previous, the last put finisher in the league has experienced to dress in a costume on draft working day as punishment for finishing at the bottom of the competitive, but pleasurable league.
But this yr, the group elevated the stakes and the final put participant from the 2020 season had to invest 24 several hours at Waffle Residence to make amends for the very poor year. The 1-day sentence could be shortened by 1 hour for every waffle the participant eaten in the 24-hour block.
And that was Rousse who sat at the community organization for most of the working day yesterday, passing a good time with his good friends who dropped in through the working day for encouragement. Rousse brought a laptop to the business enterprise and labored in the course of the day in in between servings.
The fall to previous put marked a 180-degree switch for Rousse. He won the league in 2019. But very last yr, he reported he experienced nothing but undesirable luck and couldn’t capture a break.
“I blame COVID for my negative luck,” Rousse reported. “I come to feel like just about every 7 days, I was hoping to fill spots for accidents or COVID. I went from league winner to past position winner. Chris Godwin seriously permit me down. From staying one of the most important good reasons I received in 2019 to a principal explanation I missing in 2020.”
So there Rousse sat with a single working day to clean absent his frustrations and a stack of waffles to take in.
He reported going into the working day that his objective was to eat 14 waffles, which would have slice his Waffle Property continue to be down to 10 hours. He arrived at 11 a.m. yesterday and stayed during the working day. Following 15 waffles, 2 hashbrowns, dozens of shots and a few videos afterwards, Rousse was complete and eager to have a much better fantasy soccer demonstrating in 2021.
“Thanks for signing up for me on this miserable journey and I hope I hardly ever have to do it again,” Rousse reported with a chortle. “Also, I’d like to give a large shout out to my 2 amazing waitresses. Thank ya’ll for putting up with me all working day.”
