SUMMARY: Kyle Taylor from Union County endured a unique punishment after losing last year’s fantasy league: a 24-hour stay at a Waffle House. To lighten his burden, he could deduct one hour for each waffle consumed, and he managed to eat eight during his visit, leaving him at the restaurant for six hours. Taylor reflected on his punishment, revealing it was preferable to previous years when he had to take the ACT. His total bill came to about $80, and by the end, he was weary of waffles, contemplating his experience while joking with friends about his eating challenge.

A Union County man had to spend 24 hours at a Waffle House in Tupelo or eat 24 waffles for his loss in last season’s fantasy league.
