LOSING HURTS — Many people around the country take fantasy sports very seriously.
For those that don't know, it's a great way for ordinary people to "draft" their favorite players in a specified league, with the hopes of creating an unstoppable team. It's the closest you and I will get to being a general manager for a professional team.
But sometimes there's consequences for losing your league, and the members of that league will certainly make the loser pay.
We've seen people that have had to sit in a Waffle House for 24 straight hours as a punishment for losing, as well as people forced to get a losing team tattoo, or any other sort of so-called humiliating punishment to pay the debt of being the worst in the league.
Maybe some of the front offices of the various losing professional teams should have to do something like this, but I digress.
On Monday, San Francisco Giants play-by-play announcer Dave Flemming had to serve his punishment for coming last in his fantasy football league.
His punishment? Being the Giants' "ball boy" for three innings against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The punishment could definitely be worse, but still fun nonetheless.
