Fantasy sports leagues are equal parts entertainment and punishment. It’s a strong custom for fantasy leagues to implement discipline for whoever finishes last by the season’s end.

As punishment, he played the role of batboy for three innings of the game.
Wearing a full batboy uniform and scurrying around looking for baseballs for three innings frankly, doesn’t sound bad as a last-place punishment.

A flurry of goals in the final minutes saw Spain edge Sweden in a thrilling match
In the 89th minute of the Women’s World Cup semi-final between Spain and Sweden, the matter was still in doubt.
Mere seconds later, Spain’s Olga Carmona erased that doubt.
Keeper Zecira Musovic just got a fingertip to Carmona’s left-footed rocket, but it was not enough to keep Carmona’s blast out of goal. The effort from the Spanish fullback broke a 1-1 tie and put Spain on the verge of their first-ever Women’s World Cup Final.
There may be no better way to find out that you’ve officially “made it” as an athlete or celebrity than how Lakers guard Austin Reaves did. The 25-year-old, who’s currently preparing for the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, has been a hot-button topic since his stellar play during the 2022-23 NBA season, and specifically a major breakout in the playoffs.
Reaves recently spoke with Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times about a number of topics, including his contract extension, joining Team USA, and arguably the best of all, a play-by-play of how he met actor Will Ferrell.
Riding a thrilling end to the first of two Women’s World Cup semifinals, Spain advanced to its first-ever final with a 2–1 win over Sweden.
What started as 80 minutes of tense deadlock turned into an exhilarating grand finale that featured three goals in the final 10 minutes. It was Olga Carmona who played the hero, scoring the match-winner in the 89th minute.
Despite holding more than 60% of possession, Spain didn’t register a shot on target until the final 10 minutes.
Spain have created the better chances in the first half of their FIFA Women’s World Cup semifinal against Sweden but the tie remains evenly poised at 0-0 at the break.
