Alright. As fantasy football seasons limp toward their inevitable, humiliating conclusion, it is time to confront an immutable truth:

Someone in your league is about to finish last, and El Paso demands accountability.

El Paso Demands Sacrifice.

Not fines. Not quiet shame. Public, sun-baked consequences.

Here are some over-the-top fantasy football punishments for the manager who trusted their season to a “sneaky upside flex” and paid the price.

1. The Whataburger Challenge
Twenty-four hours inside a Whataburger, starting at sunrise. You can cut an hour off your time for every single beef patty you eat.

2. The Scenic Border Apology Video
Film a public apology for your fantasy season at a scenic El Paso location. Bonus points if it’s windy and you clearly did not plan for the weather.

3. The Sun City Shame Photoshoot
Full photoshoot. Desert backdrop. Dramatic poses. One outfit chosen by the league. One caption must include the phrase “fantasy football humbled me.”

4. The Post-Season Press Conference
Recorded press conference where you explain what went wrong, blame at least one player who stopped trying, and insist you are “focused on next year.”

5. The Front-Yard Lemonade Hustle
Set up a lemonade stand like it’s 1997. Handwritten sign. Suggested donation for “poor roster decisions.” And you have to use your lemonade earnings to throw a pizza party for the winners.

6. The Wrestling Singlet of Truth
Compete in a local wrestling gym wearing a singlet that reads “I Suck at Fantasy Football.” You do not need to win. You just need to survive.

7. The Scenic Run of Regret
Complete a long run somewhere scenic and unforgiving, maybe even on Scenic! The league tracks your progress by following in a pickup truck and throwing water balloons at you when you slow down.

8. The Questionable Wardrobe Day
Wear an embarrassing outfit to work or out in public, nothing to get you arrested or fired, but nothing comfortable either.

9. The Dangerous Text Message
Send a “hey, hope you’re doing well” text to an ex and immediately mute the conversation. Chaos is part of the lesson.

10. The Local Hot Wing Gauntlet
Face a hot wing challenge at a local spot known for poor mercy and great sauces. Milk is allowed. Pride is not. This might not be a great choice if your losing homie is Mexican.

11. The Social Media Confession
Post, unironically: “I came in last place in my fantasy football league and deserved it.” Tell the people that you cant join next years league unless you get a certain amount of hate comments. The league decides the limit.

12. The Armpit Wax of Consequences
One waxing session. One camera. Many regrets.

13. The SAT of Shame
Sit for a full standardized test like your future depends on it. You may not prepare. This mirrors your draft strategy.

14. The Pizza Reparations
Buy at least three large pizzas for the league’s end-of-season gathering. No coupons. This is restitution. Also probably one of the easiest punishments to get away with.

15. The Tattoo (Temporary… Probably)
Get a tattoo related to your loss. Temporary versions are acceptable, but must be reapplied the entire offseason.

16. The Hair Dye Incident
Dye your hair a color chosen by the league. It must be visible in daylight and family photos.

17. The Inflatable Date Night
Public dinner. Two seats. One inflatable companion. You pay for both.

18. The Open Mic of Accountability
Perform at an open mic or karaoke night. One joke or song must reference your fantasy collapse.

19. The Bodybuilding Debut
Enter a bodybuilding competition or mock showcase. Confidence required. Conditioning optional.

20. The Full Head Shave
The nuclear option. Clean slate. New season. Lessons learned.

Fantasy football is about strategy, patience, and knowing when not to start a guy “just to be different.”

But losing?

Losing is about growth.
