Fantasy Football Bet Leaves NY Man Driving Ultimate Loser-Mobile
From NBC12:
A local man is living with the consequences of losing in his fantasy football league by showcasing the pretty verdict on his car.
Nick Johnson has to drive his pink 2020 Toyota Corolla coated with hearts and unicorns so that everyone can know about his loss.
"Typical rules, the winner wins a bunch of cash and a trophy and the loser gets punished and this year this was my punishment," says Johnson. "I only won two games, I didn't really watch any football this year, so that’s kind of how it goes...”
When asked what led to this outcome, Johnson admitted he wasn’t as attentive to the sport this season.
The winner of the fantasy football league he participated in owns a car wrapping business, Chris Breezy Customs in Mamaroneck, and comped the bill for the colorful wrap.
Always risky to be in a fantasy league with someone who owns a car detailing shop, but that's a real beaut.
As a fun side note, I called the number on the side of the car and was greeted with this message:
"Hey, it's Nick. Thanks for calling my hotline. Leave me some tips for fantasy football, because I suck at winning. Beep."
And if he checks his messages he'll find that I left him a helpful one that asks why he's such a loser & suggests that maybe he should try not being a loser moving forward. I can say this cockily because I came in 2nd to last but not fully last in our own league this year.
