A fantasy league bet that ended with 15-hour Waffle House trip
On Thursday afternoon in Brandon, Mississippi, Lee Sanderlin, a reporter for the Clarion (Mississippi) Ledger, documented the journey of how he paid his fantasy football debt. Here are the highlights of his journey:
4:07 p.m. Sanderlin was just at the beginning of his quest, presumably hungry and still in high spirits.
5:39 p.m. Roughly an hour and a half into the mission. Clearly the next two waffles were not as pleasant as their predecessors.
6:33 p.m. After a brief break in the parking lot, Sanderlin kept up his impressive pace and moved on to waffle No 5.
7:07 p.m. Signs of fatigue started to settle as exactly three hours had gone by.
9:01 p.m. He shared the roster that was responsible for his 24-hour sentence. The team was led by then-Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz. So basically, Sanderlin was destined for this fate early in the season.
12:02 a.m. Apparently lucky seven doesn’t apply when you’re consuming that number of waffles.
2:08 a.m. Sanderlin brings up a valid point: A house is not a home.
6:26 a.m. Nearing the end of the road, a fraction of a waffle was the only obstacle hindering his freedom.
7:06 a.m. 15 hours and nine waffles later, consider the debt settled!
